  Brew data provided by UNTAPPD
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    IPA - American | 
    6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    69 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, September 12, 2016 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Märzen | 
    5.1% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    25 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    A Märzen 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.
    Inaugural Batch: Sunday, November 20, 2016 
  •  3.9 on Untappd.
    Porter - Coffee | 
    5.8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    23 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Robust Porter with a dominant roasted malt backbone, brewed with milk sugar, vanilla beans, and cold pressed coffee from Rebel Bean Coffee 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.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, August 31, 2016 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Red Ale - Irish | 
    5.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    30 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    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 caramels 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 didn’t get lonely. See you in Malt-halla!
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, July 4, 2016 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Farmhouse Ale - Saison | 
    6.2% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    35 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    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.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, September 6, 2016 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Blonde / Golden Ale - Other | 
    5.1% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    18 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    The quintessential light bodied American...scratch that... Canadian Blonde Ale. Starts with a touch of upfront malt sweetness that flips to a crisp citrusy finish.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, November 5, 2016 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Lager - Vienna | 
    5.2% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    27 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    A Vienna lager with a crisp conventional base. The 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.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, July 28, 2016 
  •  3.4 on Untappd.
    Fruit Beer | 
    4.9% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Rumors are true — it's a Skittle Ale with guava and passionfruit!! We've chosen to work with @skippingstoneca foundation on this one who focuses on trans youth issues in YYC!!
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, August 21, 2018

    Blonde / Golden Ale - Other | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    A hazy blonde ale with plenty of wheat taste and a tinge of yeast; like fresh baked bread with a tinge of sweetness. Brewed in collaboration with and to celebrate the 100th year anniversary of the Calgary humane society
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, May 28, 2022 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Cream Ale | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    17 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Big berry sweetness over a creamy sweet base and a crisp fruity finish. More satisfying than slapping a clown and tastier than a kiss from Willy Wonka while you stick your head in a Lions mouth. As the greatest beer drinkers on earth, Something Creamy Cream Soda Ale will make you want to run away and join the circus.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, February 1, 2019 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Blonde / Golden Ale - Other |

    IPA - New England / Hazy | 
    4.7% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    21 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    A Fruit Juice Colada with a fruity hop essence throughout, this beer is sincerely tropic with a loitering coconut memento on the finish. With a killer body to balance the hop flavour and bitterness, crushing a Juuuuuuuuice is like crushing curls with Arnie on the beach.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, July 14, 2018

    Pale Ale - American | 
    0% Alcohol/Vol. |

    A peach-infused brew. @cold_garden partnered with @leftoversfoundation to upcycle peaches for the pale ale that would have gone to waste!
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, June 21, 2019

    This is one of the best breweries. I'd say they're in the top 5 for beer and maybe the number one stop for ambiance, and making everyone welcome. Sweet decor and games to play, family and dog friendly. Some free parking available too!

    Great place! Really interesting visually (server called it grandma's psychedelic basement). Eclectic seating (lots of couches) and an inviting atmosphere even for a codger like me. Most importantly we loved the beer. The porter was special- I had two although usually a snifter is enough for me. Go!

    I've been here before a couple years back. I had a great experience. The atmosphere alone is worth. There's plenty of drink options and dogs are allowed. I totally forgot that this place existed but now that I'm back, I'll definitely be coming back some more. If you come across this place, definitely check it out! You won't regret it :)

    A unique place to say the least, has a feel good vibe to it and a general warmth. Only place I know of that allows dogs inside which is just incredible. They don't serve food but you can order delivery or bring your own, they do have some snacks though. Has a wide variety of quality beers, reasonable prices and super nice staff. Been coming for four years, amazing place!

    Want to give a special shoutout to Alanna from CG. She takes concerns seriously with a professional manner so big thumbs up for her. As for the establishment...a good time had by all, especially where pups are concerned. If you are feeling low, pop in for a pint or non-alcoholic bevvie and feast your eyes on the puppers. At times, especially in the winter I get a group to go with dogs and the people who want to say hello are rock star. Thanks for this special space that make you feel welcome.
