We named our Amber Ale; River Valley Amber, to celebrate our beautiful home in Chilliwack’s River Valley…

To ensure we get to keep celebrating this breathtaking place, full of adventure, we wanted to do our part in keeping it as clean as possible. That’s why starting today (Sept 11), $1 from every pint of our River Valley Amber sold in the Old Yale Tasting Room will support the Chilliwack Vedder River Cleanup Society up to $1000, working to take care of Chilliwack’s Vedder River, one of our favourite places at Old Yale!
