Just like a diamond or the sweet caffeinated nectar from the coffee bean, it takes enormous pressure and, sometimes in life, strife to distill the very best into something extraordinary. Our Quaffee Ale, brewed with our friends at Calgary Heritage Roasting Company, is the perfect tribute to one of our founders, Quan Ly. Quan was born in an Indonesian refugee camp before moving to Canada with his family. The result of that hardship is the rare embodiment of things that do not surrender to pressure and adversity but thrive on it to elevate themselves and everyone around them. We all grab a morning cup o’ joe to give us the energy, drive and focus we need to get through the day. If there are three words in the dictionary more suitable to describe Quan than those, we haven’t read them yet.
