What Field House Brewing does

Field House Brewing Co. is a privately held craft brewery founded in 2016 in East Abbotsford, British Columbia, and expanded in 2020 to a second tasting room at District 1881 in Downtown Chilliwack. The company produces and sells a rotating portfolio of craft beers including crushable ales, experimental IPAs, hazy pale ales, fruit-infused lagers, barrel-aged sours, and a non-alcoholic line, with a stated cadence of at least one new release every week. Beyond beer, both locations operate a farm-to-table canteen food program and host community programming including weekly Field Sessions live music, FHBco. Run Club, and the annual Field Day Fest. The company operates under the Good Life Brands Collective, alongside NiceLife Cocktail Co., and uses that umbrella's online shop and BC-wide stockist distribution network as additional distribution channels beyond its own two tasting rooms.

The business model is direct-to-consumer-led, anchored by on-premise tasting room sales with a secondary wholesale and online DTC layer. Five revenue streams are evident: on-site tasting room beer sales, an online e-commerce shop via Good Life Brands, distribution to BC retail stockists, a food/canteen program at both locations, and event hosting/reservations. Pricing is per-transaction and not publicly disclosed online. The go-to-market motion is community-driven, relying on Instagram, a Kmail newsletter, and recurring in-person events to build local loyalty rather than paid acquisition. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, operates with 11-50 employees, and reports to no outside investors.

Founders and leadership: Josh Vanderheide is identified as Founder and Creative Director; no other executive team members, board composition, or ownership percentages are disclosed. The company has not been acquired, merged, or undergone restructuring according to available data, and no regulatory actions, certifications, patents, or trademarks are recorded.
