Langley Deserves Something More.
Longtime rugby teammates Jamie Overgaard and Stephen Gregorig founded Smugglers Trail in 2017. Jamie and Stephen don’t always agree on things. But one thing the two headstrong friends finally managed to agree on was that Langley deserves something more. Langley needs more beer!
Since its inception, Smugglers Trail has been developing high quality, hand crafted beers. Our products remind us of the familiar British Beers of the past while calling to us from our West Coast Canadian future.
The craft beer experience is centered around community. Sharing a beer with others supports conversation and connection. With that understanding, they decided to open their own brewery and restaurant: a place where you can drink, eat and share stories.
The Name
The name was inspired by the colorful legends of smugglers and miners who travelled these parts during the Gold Rush. The Smugglers Trail was a secret route for enterprising outlaws to transport gold, beer and other desirable goods through these parts, while dodging British tax collectors and authorities.
We were inspired by the tales of these cheeky bandits to pursue our own path too. The adventurers who blazed this trail and took big risks were resourceful, driven – and yes – a little edgy. Jamie and Stephen are really no different. So, one thing became clear: the name is a perfect fit.
Our Beers
Our signature beers pay homage to local rogues and the legends they left behind. We specialize in classic styles for every occasion, crafted from the best ingredients we can get our hands on. Our beers are always balanced, and never boring.
Tasting Room
Just a stone’s throw from the original Smugglers Trail, and expanding our program of quality beers and cask-conditioned ales to include some seasonal, special collaborations, and more. The tasting room boasts full kitchen which prepares dishes that suit any taste and flavors that pair perfectly with our beers.
This is where you come in as a team member. We provide table service and a hybrid approach to service within the tasting room. We want to engage the guest as much as we can, suggest beers and flavors that we ourselves enjoy and love to suggest. We want to thank them for coming and or when they are headed on their way. All staff fill ALL positions within the tasting room, although sometimes higher revenue periods depict a set position for staff. For the first few scheduled shifts you will work all areas of the tasting room from the front door to expediting food and bussing tables to learn the flow of the room. Once you have a completed training for that position you will move on to the next.
Meet you at the Trailhead.
