CVBF 2023 UPDATE

Due to the current economic and societal climate, we are extremely saddened to announce that Clover Valley Beer Festival, presented by The Property Twins, will not be moving forward for 2023.

This decision was not easy for us, and many factors and options were heavily considered before coming to this conclusion. We appreciate all your support as we have navigated challenging conditions over the past few years. We want to extend a huge thank you to all the breweries, partners, community members, and our fans.

Dear Fellow Beer Lovers,

First off we would like to say THANK YOU! Thank you so much for sticking with us and your patience as we have navigated these uncharted waters over the past year and a half. Times haven’t been easy, but zoom, sourdough bread, Tiger King, and beer has gotten us through.

We have sorely missed being able to drink the sweet nectar of the beer gods with y’all throughout this pandemic and look forward to seeing you again in August 2022 for the 3rd anniversary of the Clover Valley Beer Festival, presented by The Property Twins!

In the interim – please visit your local brewery to acquire your favorite brew and raise your glass

We can’t wait to see you!

Cheers,

The CVBF team

Happy Birthday Sammy J's Grill & Bar!! Thanks for all the good times!

A letter from the president:

Wow!!! Our beloved Sammy J's Grill & Bar turns 25 YEARS young today!!
A quarter century of ice cold beers, tasty fresh food, great guests, incredible staff and an amazing leadership team we have only gotten better at what we all believe in. Through thick and thin, numerous recessions and an unexpected pandemic it has been a great ride all the way.

The vision I had in 1996 when I founded Sammy J’s is still 100% the same now! So grateful to my business partner and brother Steve Gardner and our badass employees that have been with us along for the ride. Thank you Randy Butson, Grant Gormley, Salvatore Lo Bianco, Samantha Noble, Stephanie St Arnaud , Hope Buchanan, Kevin Stumph, Shelbea Lalonde, and our resident photographer Jessica Niven. To all of the incredible front and back of house staff, shift leaders, kitchen managers and chefs, thank you!! There are way too many to list, but you know who you are and just know that we are truly nothing without you.

With 4 great Sammy J’s locations: Sammy J's Grill & Bar ( Langley, where it all began), Sammy J's Grill & Bar, (Morgan Crossing) Sammy J's Grill & Bar (West Kelowna) and Sammy J's Grill & Bar (Maple Ridge opening this July) we keep going strong, and feel pretty humble and grateful to be able to say this!

I once again would like to sincerely thank all of the great people who have come and gone over the years. Whether Sammy J’s was a stepping stone for you in your youth, or you have stayed on as an integral part of our growth and longevity, you are all just as important. Who knows, maybe you even met your significant other at Sammy J’s!! Without your love and support we wouldn't be here today, still laughing and having a wicked awesome time with everyone.

Last but not least a special shout out to our incredible parents Tom and Alice Gardner, our amazing spouses Karen Lee Batten and Stacie Scraba Gardner, (who put up with us in the forever crazy restaurant industry), and our now adult kids who think we are not as cool as we know we are.

At Sammy J’s everyone is a “regular”.
~ Mike Gardner | President

Ps. Got a good old Sammy J’s pic? We would love to see it!!
Our is from 2001 in our Langley location lol.

Raise your beers and join us in wishing a Happy Birthday to these two amazing humans - Chris & Jamie Ruschienski of The Property Twins

They have been part of the Gibbons Whistler family since before the idea of a beer festival in Cloverdale was even born. Now that we think about it, they actually helped us come up with it!

We are so proud to have you as our presenting sponsor of the festival. You are an inspiration to the community and to us, and we love you guys! Can't wait to share a pint with you two soon - until then we raise a virtual one 🍻
