Trails End (Smugglers' Trail Caskworks)

Is Trails End a brewery? Not quite. The brewing happens at Smugglers’ Trail Caskworks on 200A Street in Walnut Grove; Trails End is where the same company pours those beers in Fort Langley, in a timber-and-glass room at Bedford Landing that it calls a café, taproom and bistro. It opened in February 2024 and the doors open at 10 am, earlier than most taprooms.

A day at Trails End, in order

10 am. Coffee and breakfast. The Instagram feed in early November was pushing French toast, and the company’s own description of the place runs from breakfast through dinner to takeaway.

2 to 5 pm, Monday to Thursday. Happy hour: $5 pints of the house beers, a dollar off cocktails, wine promotions and a short specials menu.

Dinner. The October 2026 menu is pub-and-bistro: ten-flavour wings ($22), stuffed Yorkshire puddings with roast beef ($18), fish and chips battered in Captain Stone lager ($25.50), a cottage pie, a beef dip, two rice bowls and seven hand-stretched pizzas ($22.25 to $27). Kids 12 and under get a cheese pizza, grilled cheese or chicken tenders for $14.

5 pm, Fridays and Saturdays. Live music from Lower Mainland acts, listed by date on the Trails End events page. Trivia runs on a couple of Wednesdays a month at 6:30 pm; in November it was the 4th and the 18th.

What’s on tap

Four Smugglers’ Trail core beers are always listed, in 10, 16 or 20 oz pours from $7: Captain Stone lager, Canoe Chase IPA, Flaskers English best bitter and a blueberry peach sour, plus rotating seasonal taps and a draft cider. The brewery has a shelf of medals behind those names, including two at the 2026 BC Beer Awards (gold for its Honey Lager, bronze for Broken Sun) and three at the 2026 Canada Beer Cup. There’s also wine by the glass, a cocktail list with a Billy Brown Mule named for the street, and non-alcoholic options including a 0.5% lager.

Who’s behind it

Rugby teammates Jamie Overgaard and Stephen Gregorig founded Smugglers’ Trail in 2017, contract-brewed at first, opened the Walnut Grove brewery and kitchen in 2020, and added Trails End four years later. The brewery itself, with its seven beer engines for cask ale, has its own page here: Smugglers’ Trail Caskworks.

Before you go
