Annex Ale Project

An aroma-forward Pale Ale, hopped with Citra and Mosaic varietals. It's our take on the classic North American Pale Ale, with a hoppy bouquet and a long, harmonious finish: progressive, sessionable, and full of flavour.

Featuring Cryo Mosaic, Bru-1 and Vic Secret Hops, hazy, dank, resinous, with citrus, mango, and passion fruit aromas. This double dry-hopped NE style IPA might be our best yet!

To understand the space this beer occupies in the brewing landscape, all you have to do is walk its boundaries. Begin at the corner that values flavour above all else. Continue to the unmistakable aromas of a great IPA. Keep going until you sense the balance of a pale ale. Then arrive back where you started, and do another lap.

Italian Pilsner

Light and easy drinking golden ale thoughtfully dry hopped with Citra and Amarillo. Aromas of sweet orange and zesty lemon. Balanced bitterness with a quick finish.

Tart with a biscuit/bread note on the finish. The ginger greets you right up front but is subtle and complimentary to the sour notes. Not overly aggressive in its pallet. This beer is a perfect summer drink. Would pair well with cucumber, peaches, salads, and hot summer nights. Very mild aroma. Notes of lemon peel, coriander, orange, toast, ginger, lemongrass, and pineapple.

Packed full of fresh peaches, lactic tartness, and Seinfeld references. Contains Lactose

Aroma forward North American black ale hopped with Vic Secret and Mosaic. Despite its dark colour, this beer has a light body and features aromas of citrus, tropical fruit and pine with a subtle roastiness.

West Coast style IPA. Piney with a pronounced upfront bitterness balanced by juicy citrus and melon finish

Pineapple / Blood Orange Ale

Catharina Sour with Passionfruit, Orange & Guava.

Craft Root Beer made straight from the botanicals. Ingredients include molasses, wintergreen, liquorice root and sarsaparilla. The first product every produced by Annex.

Our social media free NEIPA release. Now on Untappd beer social media platform. Great work. Hopped with Mosaic, Cryo Citra, Strata and Eclipse.

To celebrate the culmination of an arduous brewers exam season (it's a real thing) our brewers refocused their tunnel vision out of textbooks and onto the recipe sheet. Introducing Book Learnin' Aussie NEIPA. The brewing team spent time crunching numbers on water profile and the ideal dry hop temperatures to affect the terpenes, mercaptans, and thiols (and some other words that went right over the head of this humble newsletter copywriter). It is aggressively hopped with Ella, Enigma, Galaxy, and Vic Secret - all varieties from Oz. The aromas of stone fruit and melon just pop right out at you. Book Learnin' is a celebration of higher education in action.

Better known for its role as filler text in documents, this Lorem Ipsum was made using light and dark malts as well as roasted barley to give it depth of colour. Despite its darker character, it surprises with its light and refreshing qualities, thanks to the Citra hops. These American-variety hops infuse the amber ale with captivating notes of citrus, fruit, and pine, balancing the sweetness of the malt.

Named with conspicuous accuracy, and out of respect for the scientific process, we proudly present: Genus Prunus a Stone Fruit Kettle Sour. Coming in at 6.1% and loaded with over 600 pounds of peaches, plums and apricots in every batch. It's beautifully tart with a pronounced fruit jam aroma.

We invited our friends at Sea Change down to brew a collab that commemorates our feelings about Valentines; a cold black IPA cut from the same cloth as our hearts. This Black IPA is citrus and pine forward, black in colour but not too roasted. It is all about balance and collaboration with a ridiculous aroma thanks to a dry hop done at a cold temperature.

Made in collaboration with 2 Crows Brewing Co. Melon, Pineapple, Guava

Cranberry Blood Orange Kettle Sour Brewed on International Women's Day, eaxh swig of Non-Compliant is a pleasantly acidic bath for your taste buds and nothing lime the acrid taste of being told to smile more. Brewed for those evolved enough to see femininity in all forms as palatable. A portion of this release's profits will be donated to the Lead YYC program at the Calgary Women's Centre.

Aged for 6 months in one of our Foeders and bottle conditioned for 2 more, this beer features notes of fortified wine, port, pinot noir, oak, black cherry and black raspberry.

A bear of a beer in a wee cub of a can. Released in constellation with Big Sipper, this brew is made for sippin’. Like his bigger, gentler bro, it’s a West Coast IPA brewed with Cryo Citra, Cryo Mosaic, and Bru-1, but unlike with Big Sipper, we didn’t declaw this Ursa.

Went here for a weekend lunch with a small group. Overall, we enjoyed our experience here. When you go in, you'll get table service for your beverages and go up to the food window to order and pay for your meal separately. Burgers and fries are the main staple of the food menu. There are lots of different kinds of beers to try, too. This place wasn't super busy on a Saturday, but there were still a good number of people there. One thing to note is that seating is mostly at long tables with benches.

One of our favourite draft beer place . The menu include regular and seasonal flavours. They offer tasting if you are not sure about which one will go home with you. If you dine in, tasting menu is available, allowing you have 4 choices from their existing menu. Beside some safe choices like Golden and Pale Ale, there are some random taste like coffee stout and cranberry sour turns out to be surprisingly good! I suggest finish all draft beer ASAP, they taste even better with fresh baked pizza, cheese sticks and salami platters This place is a good find after Anchor's beer quality fall off the cliff couple years ago. Local breweries always bring more aspects than a large manufacturer.

Good selection of beers. Tasted a few different ones, and overall they were pretty solid. There's also an Empire burger place embedded here. Heard a lot about their burgers, but was mostly unimpressed.

IMO this brewery has the best beer in Calgary. It would be nice to have a few more food options but the food is good.
