  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Pale Ale - American | 
    5.2% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    40 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    An aroma-forward Pale Ale, hopped with Citra and Mosaic varietals, it's our take on the classic North American Pale Ale. Forward Progress brought us back to why we started brewing: approachable, flavourful beer that’s endlessly satisfying. It helped shape Alberta’s beer scene and introduce a generation of drinkers to hazy ales. Notes of lemon-lime pith, ripe pineapple, and yellow starburst.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, December 29, 2017 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    IPA - New England / Hazy | 
    6.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    45 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    Nothing subtle about this beer. It’s your official exemption from acts of God, global chaos, and situations beyond reasonable control. It started as a challenge to see what we could do with the hazy IPA style and became a beer we couldn’t let go of. Juicy and tropical, with a generous dose of Australian and New Zealand hops, it’s a reminder that there’s more than one way to make a hazy IPA. Notes of Pineapple Dole Whip, Candy Sugar, and Clementines
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, August 28, 2018 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Pale Ale - American | 
    6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    45 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    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.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, April 18, 2017 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Pilsner - Italian | 
    5.3% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    20 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    A West Coast lager, if the coast was Amalfi. Idle Hands is our modern take on a European classic, bringing tradition and innovation together without making a fuss about either. Unfiltered and slightly dry-hopped, with Mosaic, Centennial and Tettnang hops bringing fruity, white-wine-like character and extra depth. Notes of sauvignon blanc, saltine crackers, and lemon zest.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, March 30, 2021 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Blonde / Golden Ale - Other | 
    4.9% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    25 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    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.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, March 16, 2019 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Pale Ale - English | 
    4.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    It's a mild ale brewed with Earl Grey tea from Two Hills Tea and conditioned on fresh lemon. Featuring aromas of lilac, bergamot and lemon zest, swinging’ in at a nice 5.6%. This beer drinks like unsweetened ice tea. Seriously, we are talkin’ about those faded-jeans-ice-tea-on-the-porch kinda flavours that country radio seems to think is an unbeatable experience.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, July 19, 2019 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Sour - Berliner Weisse | 
    6.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    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.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, May 4, 2018

  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Red Ale - American Amber / Red | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    This isn’t your dad’s classic amber ale. We’ve kept everything people love about the style, while adding modern hop character to make it comforting without being heavy, and classic without feeling dated. A complex malt-driven beer built from a blend of malts, each playing a role in its rich character. Munich and crystal malts bring layers of bread, toffee and caramel, while Carafa adds depth and colour. Notes of toasted sourdough, caramel, and blackberry-lemon jam.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, September 20, 2023

    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    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.

    Lager - American Light | 
    4.3% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Proof that easy drinking doesn’t have to mean ordinary. Band Wagon is a dry, crisp and refreshing lager with more flavour and care than your typical macro, without sacrificing drinkability. Effervescent, with notes of sweet corn and mineral water. Made with more time, effort and care than you’d expect.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, June 26, 2024 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Porter - American | 
    4.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    This beer is rich and creamy, thanks to oats, yet lighter than you might expect. It’s full of flavour, with strong notes of chocolate, a subtle hint of coffee, and a touch of malt sweetness. Traditional English hops bring a gentle herbal and citrusy note, rounding out a beer that’s balanced, approachable, and easy to drink. An unconventionally delicious take on a classic style, Trust Fall is proof that sometimes a “what if?” is worth pursuing.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, September 18, 2025 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Sour - Fruited | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Bing Bong Cherry Sour is our latest rotating sour and is saturated with the same colour and flavour as the especially dark and sweet Bing cherry for which it's named. We also added a splash of vanilla to keep this beer from being vanilla, but the effect of the beans is so subtle you might not clock it if we hadn't just spilled 'em.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, September 24, 2024 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Sour - Fruited | 
    6.1% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    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.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, November 3, 2021 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    IPA - Black / Cascadian Dark Ale | 
    6.7% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    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.

    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.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, March 17, 2021

    Before the new semester starts, I went to check out a craft beer spot with some friends. Annex's collaboration with Phil & Sebastian on a coffee stout totally won me overthe coffee aroma was rich, and the aftertaste lingered beautifully! The space was super spacious, and the bartender there was really friendly. Had some great drinks, good conversations, and now I'm in a good mindset to take on the second semester!

    Went on a Thursday evening. Had a really nice bitter and good cheeseburger. A bit noisy for my taste. Mixed crowd of various ages.

    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.

    Great place! It's pretty cool that they have a burger joint attached to them! Would recommend it to anyone!

    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.
