It's nights like tonight that keep us motivated to want to show as many people as we can about how great we think Calgary's craft beer scene is.

We had a booking from these lovely ladies from New Jersey who were traveling on the train and who also happened to enjoy beer.

We are very big on the beers coming out of right now, so we wanted to stop in. Lucky for us, brewmaster Liam was on site packaging a Brut IPA. Now, we don't want to spoil their release, but Liam, who took the time out of his day to meet our guests and show them around, poured samples straight from the tank before it even made it's way to cans or kegs. We gotta tell ya, not only was that a cool experience, but this is one you don't want to miss. Their unnamed beer was delicious with additions of fresh Hibiscus, and more importantly, Brut IPA is an insanely rare style we have never seen anyone in Calgary make. So, if you are into rare beer experiences, this is one you should check off.

Another side note... even though these fine gals were from the New York area. They actually said, " this is the best pizza we have ever had" in reference to when we popped into 88.

Needless to say, kicking off the afternoon at the 2021 Canadian Brewery of the Year (and 2021 / 2023 Alberta Brewery of the Year) is a great way to introduce some visitors to our local scene.

Cheers to all the staff and fellow Calgarians who made this a wonderful evening for 3 fine ladies from New Jersey who were visiting Calgary for the very first time.

We finally got our hands on some beer from in Sherwood Park, Alberta.

The Marzen was the official beer of Oktoberfest for 120 years before it was replaced by Festbier.

Traditionally, German versions of this style are lighter in colour, while North American ones are more amber, as seen in the image.

The Marzen has a pretty cool backstory as we covered in our recent article about this years from . Our profile tree has a link to it if you care to check it out.

Now, if you don't mind, we are going to go enjoy this super tatsy brew.

Beer Judging At a Major Event For The First Time. https://wix.to/fB0NVhS

Walking into Big Rock Brewery for day one of the three-day Alberta Beer Awards as a first-time judge was both thrilling and nerve-wracking. I had always been passionate about craft beer, but this was my first opportunity to evaluate it from a judge's perspective. As I glanced around the lobby, I rec...

Tuesday Nights Are Alright for hitting a couple of breweries, a distillery, and enjoying super tasty appies and pizzas.

Tonight, our guests from around western Canada said it was too hard to pick a single highlight, but the Jalapeño Pilsner , the real ale and the Honey Rum and Queen Bee Pizza and @ were standouts. Thanks to all the teams for being so great to work with.

IT'S COMING!! Alberta Beer Week is only a month and a half away! As happens every year, the good folks get a whole bunch of breweries together to make a beer, and this year, it is one of our favourite styles, Vienna Lager.🍺

But, what exactly is a Vienna Lager, and why is it a beer you need to try? Check out the story through the link in our profile tree. Up there☝️.

Alberta Beer Week also means the Alberta Craft Beer Convention and Alberta Beer Awards are just around the corner. 🥇🥉🥈

Great Saturday night for a company function! These pilots were flying around town to visit some of the best craft producers in the city.

is always a fav with their aromatic aging room, full distillery tour, and award winning spirits. Being the first to sample a new line of Brandy was a real treat.

pulled out all the stops to create a mini wine festival complete with individual pairing stations, a tour of how they make wine, and a sample of wine straight out of the tank. Nice touch!

is another fan favorite with their Canafian gold medal beers, adherance to the Reinheitsgebot, and fantatsic semi automated brewery.

Lastly, did what they do best. Fantastic smiley service, great beer and incredible food from

That was a night for the books!
