Most breweries buy their malt in sacks. Locality grows the barley in its own fields, malts it in its own half-ton malt house, and grows its own hops too. The beer is poured in the old dairy barn of a 96-acre family farm in rural north Langley, off 252 Street. The brewery calls the idea “Field to Glass.”
Four things to know before you go
1. It’s a real working farm with a long story. The MacInnes farm was a dairy and feedlot until the cows were sold in 1992. After that it boarded horses, grew cottonwood and became a film location; When Calls the Heart has filmed here. Melanie MacInnes (owner and general manager) and her husband Andrew Hamer, an engineer who now runs the malting, opened the brewery at the end of July 2021.
2. It’s Métis-owned, by the family that grew up here. Melanie grew up on this farm. Andrew is from Australia, and the two lived there for three years, visiting farm breweries and wineries with open green space where families could spend the afternoon. They came home in 2012 and couldn’t find much like it in BC, so they started small: some hops and an acre of barley to see whether barley would even grow here. It did, and the brewery came after. BC Ale Trail’s 2024 interview with her talks about her role as an Indigenous woman who owns a farm brewery. In 2022 the BC Food & Beverage Awards named Locality Indigenous Led Business of the Year. Locality’s malt has gone into every year of Lean On Me, the collaboration beer Langley’s breweries brew together, taking turns as host.
3. Plan to stay outside. There are picnic tables among the hop rows and a trail out to the farm’s lagoon. On weekend afternoons there’s live music, under the name Hops & Harmonies.
4. Food is on wheels. A rotating line-up of food trucks parks at the farm. The home page posts the week’s schedule, so you can see who’s coming before you drive out.
The beers people come back for include Thank You Honey Lager, Lost Hazy Pale Ale, a West Coast IPA and Into the Woods, a Black Forest imperial stout. Locality also teamed up with Camp Beer Co. on a Throwback English IPA that won The Growler’s 2026 Best B.C. Collab.
