Mount Crushmore

Pilsner 4.4% ABV, 26 IBU

Southern Aspect

West Coast IPA 5% ABV, 24 IBU

Throughout the winter, southern aspects on mountainous slopes can present uncertain and variable conditions. It also leads to epic lines on bluebird days for those willing to take the risk. This beer was born out of taking risks and chasing adventure.

Bow River Brewing

 

Core Beers

River Fest

Euro Style Lager 5% ABV

A genuine German style beer brewed in the traditional German way. A true amber lager, lightly hopped with a distinctive malty flavor that places it somewhere between a Vienna Lager and a Munich Oktoberfest in beer style.

High Country Amber

Scottish Ale 5.2% ABV

Scared Rabbit Hoppy Pale Ale

American IPA 5.2% ABV

Some like it hoppier. An India Pale Ale that represents the proud brewing traditions of the Pacific North West. It is a well hopped pale ale, full bodied, unfiltered and just darn tasty. While driving in a snowstorm, a rabbit chased by an owl appeared in our headlights. Because of our presence the rabbit “hopped” safely away. Later that night we tasted our freshly brewed IPA and the name of the new beer became Scared Rabbit Hoppy Pale Ale.

YYC Calgary Ale

American Pale Ale 5.1% ABV

​This beer showcases the flavors that helped start the craft brewery movement in North America. It is a rich Northern California Pale Ale with a wonderful Cascade Hop flavor that does not overwhelm. Calgary Ale is named after Calgary our home city located where the Bow River and Elbow River meet.

Athabasca Wit

Witbier 5% ABV, 13 IBU

This style is based on gently spiced Hefeweizen with roots in Hoegaarden (Belgium). Its characteristics are full flavored, easy drinking, naturally cloudy and refreshing with a hint of orange and coriander. This beer is named after the Athabasca glacier for its refreshing vigor.

For Calgary ISA

India Session Ale 4.9% ABV

The city of Calgary was originally established at Fort Calgary, where the Bow River and Elbow River joined forces to bring their life-giving mountain waters to the Alberta prairie. For Calgary ISA is our hoppiest beer, a dry-hopped India Session Ale that delivers all the complex hops and aroma of an IPA, with a lighter body and the lower alcohol content of a session ale. We originally released this beer under the name of Fort Calgary, however the City of Calgary insisted that Calgarians would get confused between the ruins of on old fort and a can of beer, so we had to rename it For Calgary! Made in collaboration with Elite Brewing.

Prairie Nights

American Porter 5.2% ABV, 29 IBU

Our latest release is a rich porter beer with a light smoky flavour. It brings to mind a clear bright starry night of the Alberta Prairie with a hint of warm campfire.

Brauerei Fahr

 

Core Beers

Fahr Away Hefeweizen

Fahr Out Pilsner

German Pilsner 5% ABV, 34 IBU

Pilsner beers are the most common beers in Germany. However, as any German would tell you, beers in Germany are a lot like wines – they vary from region to region. Just as the accents vary widely between even only a few kilometers distance! One can therefore not expect a Northern style, dry, bitter, highly carbonated pilsner to be the same as a more malty, fuller body Southern style Pilsner! The devil is always in the details, especially with German Pilsners!

Copper

Amber Lager 5% ABV, 28 IBU

COPPER. Mild. Elegant. Dry. Brewed in the heart of Alberta, inspired by German traditions ❤️🇩🇪🍻With each sip of the Fahr Copper you will enjoy a clean aroma and taste notes of plum and caramel!

Core Beers

Super Saturation

New England Pale Ale 6% ABV, 40 IBU

We have jammed all the flavours and aromas we possibly could – and then some – into our New England Pale Ale. Red Shed raw wheat and oats provide a soft, pillowy body and silky mouthfeel. With a maelstrom of tropical hop flavours and aromas from out-of-this-world dosing of new world hops, this hazy beer will fill your heart and saturate your senses.

Retrospectum

Pale Ale 5.2%, 40 IBU

Retrospectrum Pale Ale is easy enough to drink every day, yet complex enough to challenge your taste buds every time. Perfectly balanced with a complex malt body, our hop-forward take on the classic American Pale Ale is  exploding with tropical fruit and citrus aromas and flavours, thanks to generous late additions of Citra and Amarillo hops.

Sunshine Rain

West Coast IPA 6.7% ABV, 60 IBU

Our take on the classic northwest American IPA shuns the heavy caramel and resin notes typically found in this style for something more refined and unique. Sunshine Rain has been brewed to be balanced, lively, fresh and dry, but doesn’t hold back with an aggressive dank and tropical hop punch – a combination of Simcoe, Mosaic and Citra hops.

Cabin Brewing Company in Calgary, Alberta, Canada


Canmore Brewing Company

 

Core Beers

Ten Peaks Pale Ale

American Pale Ale 5% ABV, 33 IBU

The Valley of the Ten Peaks is one of the most remarkable views in all of Banff National Park, even having the distinction of appearing on the twenty dollar bill on two occasions. O Canada!

Rail Avenue Rye IPA

Rye IPA 6% ABV, 60 IBU

From the very street we call home, to the gentle bend in the pathway in front of the brewery, much of this town was shaped by the railway history. The trains still rumble by our door a few times a day.

This refreshing and crisp west coast style IPA has a healthy dose of malted rye, plenty of hops in the boil and a thorough dry hop. This IPA is very approachable.

Mineside Stout

Brown Ale 5% ABV, 21 IBU

For over 100 years the west side of the Bow River in Canmore has been known as Mineside, courtesy of the once numerous coal mines in the area. It all started in 1887 with the No. 1 Mine at Canmore Creek.

Silky smooth and dark, just like the area’s coal. This English style stout features pale, chocolate and caramel malts along with roasted and flaked barley for a complex, delicious treat.

Georgetown Brown

Brown Ale 6% ABV, 26 IBU

Who can resist a ghost town story? The old coal mining town has mostly faded into the riverbanks of the Bow, just a short hop west of Canmore. Follow the Georgetown Trail and see for yourself.

With the addition of caramel and chocolate malts, this brown ale will entice you over to the dark side – in a good way! Crisp, sweet and soooooo caramello.

Misty Mountain Hops

New England IPA 6.4% ABV, 55 IBU

When the skies in the Bow Valley turn grey anc cloudy each fall, and the mountain tops turn white, some folks pack their bags. Some folks stay for a beer and have some fun – that’s us.

This New England style IPA is hazy, fruity, and just the right beer to embrace the Fall with. Lots of aroma and flavour are provided by Hallertau Blanc, Mosaic, and Amarillo hops.

Citizen Brewing Company

 

Core Beers

Hijacked IPA

American Pale Ale 7% ABV, 75 IBU

Citizen Brewing Company in Calgary, Alberta, Canada


Cold Garden Beverage Company

 

Core Beers

East Calgary Lager

East Calgary Lager 4.5% ABV, 18 IBU

A Vienna lager with a crisp conventional base. This beer is focused around a toasted malt center and whispers of floral hop flavor and aroma which parlay into a slight malt sweetness that joins the party at the end. This is a lager that rolls with some flavor to it. It can be a gateway beer for the craft averse or a crushable craft lager for the aficionado who needs to come down off a humulone high.

This Must Be The IPA

IPA 6% ABV, 69 IBU

A west coast, light bodied, hop forward, fruity IPA. One sip is like a citrusy fruit salad to the face, like making out with a cold pineapple on a hot day, and like running naked through the hop fields of the pacific North West. This beer can satisfy the alpha acid heads and the rookie swimmer who needs to give their toes a dip before jumping head first down the hop hole. Turn on, tune in, and hop out.

Red Smashed in Buffalo Jump

Lager 5.1% ABV, 26 IBU

An unapologetically malt forward Irish Red Ale. This beer takes a sharp detour off the hop highway and focuses instead on the roasted, toasted, sweet, and neat flavors of the malted barley grain. A blend of caramel and roasted barley gives the Red Smashed In a perfect balance of sweetness and roasted kick. There is a fairy dusting of nearly noble English hops sprinkled in as well just so all that flavor doesn’t get lonely. See you in Malt-halla!

The All-Nighter Vanilla Cappuccino Porter

Porter 5.8% ABV, 23 IBU

Robust Porter with a dominant roasted malt backbone, brewed with milk sugar, vanilla beans, and cold pressed coffee, courtesy of Rebel Bean Coffee Roasters, added in at kegging. With just enough English hops to balance out the beverage, this is like drinking a coffee cake that can give you more than one kind of buzz. Drink it as the sun goes down and again as the sun comes up.

Cakeface

Vienna Lager 5.1% ABV, 25 IBU

A Marzen style lager brewed with real vanilla beans. This beer has a pronounced malty sweet base teeter tottering with a touch of floral, noble hops. The malty base goes on to perform a clown ballet with the vanilla beans resulting in a flavor reminiscent of a birthday cake. An extended lagering process makes this a light drinking session and/or dessert beer. DISCLAIMER: No clowns were harmed in the brewing of Cakeface.

One Summer in Saskatoon

Lager 6.2% ABV, 35 IBU

A farmhouse style Saison brewed with Saskatoon berries. The beer has a kiss of spice up front but moves quickly to a sweet and earthy middle with the Saskatoon berries rolling through at the very end. There is a noticeable but not overwhelming Belgian backbone to the brew that brings it all together. This is a perfect pint to drink when taking a break from a hot day chaffing the wheat or mucking the barns.

Dandelion’s Blonde

Lager 5.1% ABV, 18 IBU

The quintessential light bodied American Blonde Ale. Starts with a touch of upfront malt sweetness that flips to a crisp citrusy finish. This beer is easy drinking for the easy drinker.

1882 Okotoks Golden Ale

Golden Ale 5% ABV, 17 IBU

Named to commemorate the year when settlers set up on the banks of our beautiful sheep creek (when their oxen drifted away in a good old Alberta snow storm), this light golden ale was brewed as our Inagural Commercial Release, for all who have found their way to this town that they call home and to the visitors who come to enjoy it.

Easy drinking is an understatement when describing this golden ale. Brewed to be classically blonde with a sweet, fruity, citrus/berry and even mango aroma, this deceptively light tasting beer rings in at 5% ABV and has been called the most refreshing and crushable patio beer you will find around. Be prepared to enjoy more than one…it’s THAT kind of beer!

Prodigal Hon-ey Brown Ale

Brown Ale 5.1% ABV, 27 IBU

This dark copper English Brown Ale is as smooth as it gets with just a hint of local, sweet Chinook honey to balance out the refreshing, medium malt body that makes this beer a winner among all who try it. But be prepared because one glass of this caramelly delight just won’t be enough!

O'Finally Irish Red Ale

Irish Red Ale 5.3% ABV, 26 IBU

At long last, we FINALLY brewed our beer right here in Okotoks…in fact this Irish Red is the first beer to ever be commercially brewed in Okotoks! And after a long and very intentional 21 hour brew day, we couldn’t be prouder to introduce a beer that is as comforting and familiar as spending the afternoon with an old friend. This deep copper-red, malt forward beer with a candy-like caramel sweetness and just enough toastiness to give it the balance it needs.

Don't Hassel The Hefe

Hefeweizen 5.6% ABV, 12 IBU

This cloudy, pale beer with pillowy soft head stacked on top, seriously pushes the boundaries of the classic German hefeweizen, much like its namesake, pushes the boundaries of awesomeness!

With less than typical, subdued clove and a bountiful presence of sweet banana esters (naturally produced with an incredible german yeast strain), we have brewed this light, wheaty beer to challenge what you thought a hefeweizen could be.

Hoppyright Infringement HAZY NEIPA

New England IPA 6.2% ABV, 45 IBU

Previously released as “Hazed & Confused IPA” this hazed up, fruit explosion, built around a multitude of citrus-centric hops (that we gathered up last minute like mad scientists when our hop order didn’t make it to us in time) sold out in no time flat and created enough “buzz” to garner the attention of a brewery way out in Eastern Canada, selling a brew under the same name!

Now known as “hoppyright Infringement” we are re-releasing this wildly popular New England style IPA, PACKED with hops, very low in bitterness and as high as it gets in fruity, citrusy hop flavour and aroma to you once again!

Hazy, Hazy, Hazy. Big juicy stone fruit and tropical aromas supported with a light earthy dankness and sharp notes of pine. So smooth and crushable.

Brickworks

Wizards Revenge IPA

Milk Shake IPA 7% ABV, 30 IBU

The perfect beer for people who claim to hate IPAs or just craft beer in general. The lactose and oats give Wizard’s Revenge a thicker body and sweetness that balances out the bitterness of the hops. Heaps and heaps of real strawberries are added during boil and conditioning to provide genuine fruit flavour and aroma. Loaded with fruity hops and aggressively dry hopped, this beer still retains its IPA status.

No one knows exactly upon whom the Wizard is seeking his revenge. All we really know is that revenge is sweet.

Leviathan

Russian Imperial Stout 8.5% ABV, 50 IBU

We wanted to make a big stout as part of our core line-up. Notes of Baker’s chocolate, toffee, and a little bit of roast and caramel. Neither too sweet nor too boozy, this big boy is surprisingly smooth. English yeast lends a delicate ester profile that helps mask the high alcohol. Guidelines be damned: we are proud to call it a “Session-Imperial Stout.”

We brewed our first batch of Leviathan to Mastodon’s seminal album of the same name.

Berserker

Blonde Ale 5% ABV, N/A IBU

Berserker is clean and easy drinking for those new to craft beer, but also sophisticated and nuanced for the craft beer nerds. Crisp, clean and refreshing, yet bad ass enough that we named it after the ancient Viking warriors. With a lighter IBU and a balanced malt profile, the Berserker is the perfect session beer. Oats are added for a fuller body and additional sweetness.

Berserker Warriors used to take psychedelic drugs and march into battle naked. We don’t necessarily recommend doing that. At least the battle part.

Haze Lord

New England Pale Ale 5.5% ABV, 30 IBU

Our first hazy beer was meant to be a small batch one-off, but it was popular enough that we brought it back as a full time beer. Very little hops are used during boil, but massive amounts of hops added at the whirlpool to provide a beautiful aroma with restrained bitterness. We dry-hop during primary fermentation, which causes the hop oils to interact with the yeast in the beer, creating unique flavours and haziness. Dry hopped again once the beer is cold for even more aroma. Underneath that aggressive dry hops is a full bodied beer with a slightly biscuity malt profile.

We use Maris Otter, a British malt, to give Haze Lord its golden color and biscuity flavour. Wheat is used for head retention and haziness.

Just a touch of fruity sweetness and a balance of bready-ness on the palate, sure to pass the time while the train rolls on by.

Switch Point

Honey Cream Ale 5.3% ABV, 17 IBU

A switch generally has a straight “through” track and a diverging route. This allows the track to serve as a Siding. We created our Honey Cream Ale to show the versatility of this style, a sometimes underestimated offering. It is smooth with a creamy mouthfeel and a touch of sweetness, while still maintaining the light crispness of an easy drinking beer. Earthy floral notes, a gift from the hops and Alberta honey.

The Ten-Wheeler with its four leading wheels and six large driving wheels, was famous for its power. Our IPA brings some complexity, with 3 malts and 4 hop varieties.

For those who are unaware of this phenomenon, red rage is, unofficially, the ONE thing Chuck Norris fears! Extreme outbursts of red rage can result in temporary memory loss which we like to refer to as “Ginger Induced Comas”.

Everybody knows someone who could use a pint of people skills now and then; now you can buy them one.

Every once in awhile a LEGEND comes around and revolutionizes an industry. For craft beer canning that legend is Jamie Gordon!

Jamie spent 16 years tirelessly devoted to traveling the globe to install, educate, and help every single craft brewery possible benefit from canning their craft beer. Tool Shed is one of those breweries and is honored to have called Jamie our friend! We love that Jamie taught his boys “Stop stealing my beer and learn how to brew it!!” so this stout is for Jamie!

In order to mirror that classy, GQ, flat cap wearin’ style of Jamie, this stout is deeply roasted and rich with a surprising presence of hops and a beautiful, smooth, dry finish. If ever a stout were to rock a flat cap as Jamie did, this would be that beer!

Village Brewery

 

Core Beers

Village Blonde

Blonde 4.5% ABV, 15 IBU

Meet this natural Blonde, whose golden glow comes from the finest two-row Alberta barley. An ale with a crisp, dry palate that balances a slight fruity sweetness and subtle bitterness. Handcrafted, unpasteurized, free of preservatives and additives, this local beauty conforms to the 1516 Bavarian Law of Purity. Lovely in its simplicity.

Village Blacksmith

Cascadian Dark Ale 5.4% ABV, 33 IBU

Keep a sturdy grip on this hand-forged ale. It is an alloy of premium two-row Alberta barley, roasted to a black malt and infused with quantities of potent, bitter hops. Stalwart and bold, it will douse the coal-fired thirst, slake the spirit and clear the soot from the teeth.

Village Squeeze

Fruit Beer 5.4% ABV, 33 IBU

It was love at first sip. We’d never met a more dazzling, brilliant brew. Our squeeze charmed us with smooth Bavarian malt, teased us with lemon and raspberry, kissed us softly with hops. We told ourselves, this may be too good to last. So for now, just drink it in.

Village Wit

Witbier 4.5% ABV, 13 IBU

Despite its name, this is a serious brew unsuited to tawdry puns. It is a finely crafted, unfiltered wheat ale in the Belgian tradition. The colour of straw with a delicate white haze, Wit has crisp flavours accented with orange zest and coriander. A classic. So get into Wit

Village Logger

Lager 4.2% ABV, 20 IBU

It’s surprising. You’d never think that this stylish sessional brew was a Lumberjack. It’s a classic, cool, golden beer accented with crisp, fresh notes of Northern hops. But when we asked, “what kind of Ale are you?” We heard the clear reply, “I’m not an ale, I’m a Logger.”

Village Cider

Cider 5.5% ABV, 0 IBU

The Village Apple Cider blends the sweet, tart and refreshingly crisp flavour of apples with subtle notes of pear and earl grey tea. Smooth, semi-dry and balanced this all-natural hard apple cider will get you straight through those hot summer days.

Village Nomad

American IPA 5.5% ABV, 0 IBU

The Nomad leads us to an oasis. A place where bright malts shimmer like a hazy mirage, the colour of sun-bleached straw. Where cool, fragrant hops conjure scents of peach and mango, citrus and pine. Have we found a piece of paradise? Perhaps. Heaven knows where a Nomad goes.

Village Neighbor

American IPA 5.5% ABV, 0 IBU

The Nomad leads us to an oasis. A place where bright malts shimmer like a hazy mirage, the colour of sun-bleached straw. Where cool, fragrant hops conjure scents of peach and mango, citrus and pine. Have we found a piece of paradise? Perhaps. Heaven knows where a Nomad goes.

Wild Rose Brewery

 

Core Beers

Velvet Fog

Wheat Ale 4.5% ABV, 10 IBU

MELVIN (Mel) was a jazz singer with a voice as smooth as this unfiltered wheat beer. He’s the inspiration behind this luminous, gold coloured brew with a citrus, tangy nose, brewed with only the best Canadian wheat and barley. Discharged from the military, Mel found his way to the Currie Barracks where he met the tricksters Rosie & Reggie – backing each other’s high jinks since 1996.

Wraspberry Ale

Fruit Ale 4.5% ABV, 10 IBU

Don’t let these two tricksters convince you that the fox turned red from drinking to many Wrapsberry Ales. ROSIE and REGGIE can be persuasive, which makes them a good team, but there are no tricks behind this truly refreshing beer. The fresh fruit flavour comes from thousands of raspberries in each batch, that’s it.

Industrial Park Ale

IPA 6% ABV, 33 IBU

We recognize the birthplace of our brewery in Calgary’s Foothills Industrial Park with this time honoured recipe for a well-balanced IPA, marked by the most industrious of beavers, CHUCK. This coppery brew has plenty of hops perfectly balanced with rich malt to satiate the thirst provoked by a dam long work day.

Electric Avenue

Blonde 4.8% ABV, 20 IBU

Electric Avenue’s main proponent of partying, BROCK JR., has been carrying on his father’s legacy since 1996. Brock Jr. epitomizes the going-all-out spirit of every Albertan who works hard to play hard. Electric Avenue is more than just a place in Calgary for a good time, its an easy-drinking Alberta blonde ale. Cheers! …Because we all have a friend like Brock Jr.

Barracks Brown

Brown Ale 5% ABV, 25 IBU

BUZZ is the falcon to watch for in the Barracks. Inspired by one of Canada’s famed fighter pilots, he is decorated yet humble, watchful yet wandering. Barracks Brown is a dark yet approachable, crisp yet smooth, highly drinkable brown ale with notes of espresso and cocoa.

High Harvest

Strong Hemp Pale Ale 6.5% ABV, 50 IBU

BUDD the goat and his wacky crop found us while selling his hefty, budding harvest at the old Currie Barracks Farmer’s Market. His head might be clouded, but Budd knows his brews. High Harvest is an unfiltered strong pale ale made with velvety hemp flour to quench the driest cotton mouth. Inhaling this tropical hop aroma all day has got Budd flying high.

Multiverse

Pale Ale 5.4% ABV, 42 IBU

You unlock this door with the key of thirst. Beyond it is another dimension – a dimension of subtle caramel malt, a dimension of bright citrus hops, a dimension of balance. You’re moving into a land of both aroma and flavor, of things and ideas. You’ve crossed into…. the MULTIVERSE.

Nemesis

IPA 6.8% ABV, 74 IBU

Early in the 21st Century. The Zero Issue Corporation advanced beer evolution into the NEMESIS phase – a beer virtually unparalleled to drink. NEMESIS was superior in aroma and flavor, but not equal in clarity, to those that came before. With intense grapefruit, mango, passionfruit, and citrus notes and a refreshing drinkability, NEMESIS ushered in a new order.

Innsmouth

Sour 4.8% ABV, N/A IBU

My strength is not in IBU and ABV, that is what the parasites will never understand. A season for all things! A time for Mango and a time for Passionfruit, a time for clean … and a time for sour! Would you kindly …

Terraform

Porter 5.8% ABV, N/A IBU

In the year 2016, explorers from Zero Issue discovered the remnants of an ancient spacefaring civilization. In the years that followed, these mysterious artifacts revealed the blueprint for a startling new beer. With a malt backbone of chocolate, coffee and molasses sweetness coupled with herbal and floral notes, this complex technology created a smooth robust beer. The civilizations of the galaxy call it………. TERRAFORM.
