    IPA - American | 
    6.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    75 IBU (Intense Bitterness) 
    Clear, amber and dry, this modern example of an American-style IPA bursts with big tropical, citrusy flavours with assertive bitterness and balanced malt character. Dry-hopped twice with Cry+Regular Amarillo, Cryo+Regular Mosaic, Citra, and Lemondrop.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, January 26, 2019

    Wheat Beer - American Pale Wheat | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    23 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    2020 Alberta Beer Awards Bronze Medal Winner. This American-style wheat beer pours golden with a white, foamy head, and features prominent citrus, stone fruit, and bread aroma. This beer has a light, refreshing body with moderate carbonation and a dry but soft bread-flavoured finish and mild grain aftertaste.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, July 21, 2018 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Brown Ale - English | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    32 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    2019 Canadian International Beer Festival Gold Winner. Formerly known as Coconut Brown, this beer overlays sweet, fresh, house-toasted coconut on a nutty brown base beer, with flavours of milk chocolate, caramel and toast, on a mildly bitter backbone with a dry finish.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, October 15, 2018 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    IPA - Cold | 
    6.8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    50 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    For this year’s International Women’s Day brew, we are collaborating with XHale Brew Co to create our own take on a very new style, the “Cold IPA”, which is sweeping across the USA but has yet to make its mark on Alberta. This mixed style combines aspects of both a European Lager and a West Coast IPA to create a very unique brew that is light in colour, crisp in finish, and heavy on hops. What better way to showcase this year’s Pink Boots hop blend? Our annual Pink Boots Brew is used to re-establish the conversation around women empowerment and inclusion in the brewing industry and we’ve teamed up with XHale Brew Co to help expand our reach with this important message.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, March 8, 2022 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Kölsch | 
    4.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    23 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Flavourful but easy drinking, our Kölsch-style ale is clean and crisp with a slightly sweet grainy flavour and a dry finish. Based on the pilsner style, but fermented with ale yeast and lagered for several weeks, this beer has a pleasant, soft and surprisingly refreshing flavour profile that makes it stand tall beside its lager brethren.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, December 8, 2018 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Red Ale - American Amber / Red | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    24 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Our red ale takes cues from the classic Irish Red style, employing a hint of roasted barley for colour and taste atop a base of sweeter caramel malts with a deliberate underlying bitterness that keeps the beer palatable adding a pleasant aftertaste.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, December 20, 2018 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Spiced / Herbed Beer | 
    4.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    21 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    The return of a fan-favourite! We’ve infused our Little Bear with Esmeraldus Coffee (Calgary, AB) using their Supremo single-origin Colombian coffee! This Coffee Crisp candy bar in a glass brings in milk chocolate, toffee, honey and caramel notes with no harsh coffee bitterness.
    Inaugural Batch: Sunday, December 30, 2018 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Fruit Beer | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    19 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    2023 Alberta Beverage Awards - Judges' Selection. A refreshing Belgian-style blonde ale with raspberry and a custom blend of American hops. Underlying the fruit and bready malt flavours is a spicy Belgian yeast character.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, July 17, 2020 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Sour - Berliner Weisse | 
    3.3% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    7 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    A hazy, tart and crackery Kettle Sour with a hint of lemon. Try this traditional sour on its own or with our house made fruit syrups! A modern take on German Berliner-weisse with a tart acidity and surprising level of flavour and body for such a low alcohol beer, with plenty of malty, husky grain flavour and a pale yellow colour with some haze. Originally called Kettle Sour #2, Jumpingpound is the basis for nearly all of our Barrel-Aged Sour and Barrel-Aged Fruited Sour beers. We are bringing this classic back in its unadulterated form with a fancy new name, emphasizing the importance of the connection to nature and the versatility of this product that has been around all along, but quietly in the background.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, April 14, 2022 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Stout - Oatmeal | 
    5.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    34 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    A rich, dark stout with a thick, creamy head and full mouthfeel, having notes of coffee, caramel, and dark chocolate with background smoke character from our in-house-smoked flaked oats.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, May 5, 2018 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Sour - Fruited | 
    3.3% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    7 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    This fruited kettle sour was first created last summer to celebrate Pride Week and due to extremely popular demand, it has returned in even more glorious fashion! We took our Jumpingpound Kettle Sour and refermented it over 90 pounds of blueberry puree before adding a hint of lemon zest and vanilla to create an extremely approachable sour beer. Bursting with fruity citrus and berry notes paired with a delicately tart and full mouthfeel, this beer is sure to surprise many and blow away preconceived notions towards sour beers.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, August 25, 2021 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Lager - Vienna | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    23 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    This rich and malty lager highlights some of the fantastic malt grown and produced on our very own prairie lands. Expect a strong malty flavour with notes of chocolate, caramel, cracker and biscuit, with a sweeter profile based on the lager yeast.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, July 27, 2020 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Fruit Beer | 
    5.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    18 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    A blond ale with a tropical boost! We added pineapple, lactose and coconut to this delightfully fruity pina colada inspired beer. We used HBC-472 hops to add to the pineapple tropical flavours. We have teamed up with Glasswing Produce to revitalize the town square in the village of Saíno, Costa Rica, where their pineapple farm resides. The goal is to revitalize the town square, giving the villagers a place where they can gather and celebrate safely.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, May 6, 2022

    IPA - New England / Hazy | 
    6.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    17 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    This Hazy IPA is an ultra-creamy cloud of dry-hopped deliciousness with notes of tangerine, peach, raspberry and passionfruit, with a resin finish. A super approachable Hazy IPA using wheat malt and oat malt to increase protein haze and give a creamy, fluffy mouthfeel without the use of milk sugar. Dry-hopped with a combination of Mosaic, Idaho Gem, and HBC 630 - an experimental hop that enhances creaminess with a low caramel note. Now featuring farm-fresh honey from our friends at Fallentimber Meadery!
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, March 15, 2024

    Lager - American Light | 
    3.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    8 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    A bold expression of subtle changes - this low-alcohol, low-calorie, low-carbohydrate lager style beer is dry-hopped for beautiful hop aroma and flavour without the crazy buzz. Per 150mL: 43 cal 2.7 g carbs | Per 250mL: 72 cal 4.5 g carbs | Per 473mL: 135 cal 8.5 g carbs

  •  3.2 on Untappd.
    Sour - Fruited Gose | 
    3.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    7 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    In Collaboration with Rising Tides Taproom, XHale Brew Co., and Wild Winds Brewery, we created this fruity, lightly tart beer in celebration of what ties us together. As women-owned businesses in an industry that still shows symptoms of institutional sexism, we try to break the mold and show our customers what an inclusive environment looks like. Utilizing the limited edition Pink Boots Malt in support of the Pink Boots Society, this gose (pronounced GO-zuh) also features acidulated malt and sea salt. It was fruited with prickly pear - a desert cactus which produces fruit reminiscent of kiwi, with a hint of bubblegum. It grows natively in dry, arid climates such as Mexico, the Caribbean, and Palestine.
    Inaugural Batch: Sunday, June 16, 2024 
  •  4.2 on Untappd.
    Stout - Imperial / Double | 
    10.4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    77 IBU (Intense Bitterness) 
    A blend of 15-month bourbon barrel-aged and 3-month stainless-aged imperial stouts, further bottle-aged for 2.5 years. A deceptively smooth, full-bodied drinking experience without the sharpness of younger examples. Named for the atmospheric phenomenon that was originally coined in Alberta; Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (S.T.E.V.E. for short), which appears as a ribbon of light across the sky. From its Aurora-watching inspiration, this barrel-aged imperial stout’s name represents a long process of studying and the amazing discoveries happening right here in Alberta in the sky and in brewery barrels. This big beautiful beer showcases what some patience and childlike wonder will do.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, November 23, 2022 
  •  3.9 on Untappd.
    Porter - Imperial / Double Baltic | 
    10.3% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    36 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    We took Desperate Times, our unique take on a Baltic Porter, the 100th batch of beer brewed at Prairie Dog Brewing and aged it for 5 months in Tennessee Whiskey barrels, bringing bold yet smooth whiskey characteristics to an already rich and delicious beer. The malty sweet chocolate and light roastiness serve to introduce the warming backbone of its 10.3% ABV. Lagered and barrel-aged, this beer is smooth and crisp, yet full bodied and deceptively easy drinking for its alcohol content.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Porter - Imperial / Double Baltic | 
    10.3% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    36 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    We took Desperate Times, our unique take on a Baltic Porter and aged it in a single barrel that once held California Zinfandel (2018 vintage), bringing mellow dark fruit, vanilla, and toast undertones to an already rich and delicious porter. Lagered and barrel-aged, this beer is smooth and crisp, yet full bodied and deceptively easy drinking for its alcohol content. At over 10%, this beer brings a fair amount of alcoholic heat that is beautifully balanced and mellowed from its extended barrel-aging time of 1 year. The resulting flavours resemble that of a glass of sherry or port with plenty of oak, vanilla, toast, and dark fruit notes.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, February 8, 2022 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Belgian Dubbel | 
    6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    20 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    This Belgian-inspired brown ale utilizes specialty malts such as Special B and Melanoidin to create a malt forward brew with flavours of caramel, burnt sugar, and dark fruit that is rounded out nicely with clove and pepper flavours from Belgian yeast phenolics and a floral hop character that leaves a lingering, moreish finish. A highly-attenuated beer that is medium bodied and dry on the palate, Dubbel Trubbel is easy-drinking and complex all at once.

    Absolutely loved my visit to prairie dog brewing. Staff were super nice, the beer was excellent and the food was good too! Looks like it could be a pretty great place for live music. Looking forward to coming back when I'm in town again!

    We got The Full Pit to share between the 4 of us- Shareable barbecue platter with 8 oz brisket, 8 oz pulled pork, 1/2 chicken, 4 pork side ribs, 3 sausages, double fries, cornbread, and choice of 3 sides, choice of 5sauces. We got bacon potato salad, mac & cheese and poutine as our sides. They missed our potato salad so we had to ask them for it and and they brought it for us on the side. Glad we ordered it cuz it was delicious! What stood out for me was the brisket which was very juicy and the cornbread was moist had a hint of jalapeno spice to it paired well with the whipped butter. We also got the smoked chicken wings which had great flavour and amazing! The place was huge and it was quite busy. We were able to make a reservation which was great for a Saturday night. Definitely would be back!

    This is much more than your average Brewery. The quality of food in general and the meats specifically is excellent. Tried the brisket and the pastrami and both were fantastic. The beers were great as well.. the pia colada one had incredible fusion of coconut and pineapples. The IPA's were great and the ales were very crisp The place is very large and perfect to host bigger groups. Staff was helpful, polite and professional. Definitely recommended.

    Decided to try out the restaurant and it was really value for money! The wings were great, as well as the pulled pork and brisket. And we were also delighted with the wide variety of beers. Absolutely awesome weather to sit outdoors for a chilled beer!

    I enjoy this place a good lot. It got big TVs to watch the game, nice outdoor patio spot for summer days, and a pretty chill vibe. The service here is friendly and they're come by to refill drinks frequently so no complaints on my end The food is great. Their BBQ meats and sauces are fantastic I like them a lot. My only two complaints are with the pretzel bites and the Mac and cheese, I don't know if it was just a off day but the pretzel bites even when used with their beer cheese sauce it just wasn't packing a whole lot of flavour and same goes for the mac and cheese. The cheese sauce for the Mac and Cheese was a good consistency and covered the noodles just didn't have any real flavour to it. Like I said could've just been a off night for them. Everything else we had was great I'm a big fan on how they cook their bbq and serve it to you. I recommend giving it a shot
