3.7 on Untappd.A throwback to the first wave of hazy hoppy beers that had malt structure and gentle bitterness. Brewed with 100% Alberta grains and a blend of four classic hops from the Pacific Northwest. Dame Dorthey represents the spirit of a generation that came together when it mattered most and united in a selfless effort. Here's to community, to perseverance, and to our Dame Dorthey.Inaugural Batch: Monday, June 22, 2020 -
3.7 on Untappd.Inspired by the balanced lagers of Southern Germany, our Munich Helles Lager proudly uses 100% Bohemian ingredients, natural carbonation, and a proper cold conditioning phase.Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, June 30, 2021 -
3.7 on Untappd.A creamy, roasty, and smooth Czech-style dark lager. Brewed with soft water, a single decoction mash, and 100% Bohemian ingredients. In 1941, Canada's largest ammunition facility was constructed in Ajax, Ontario as part of the war effort in World War Two. This facility employed more than 7000 women from across Canada with a singular, unified mission-- to provide the fathers, husbands, and sons of the nation with enough ammunition to triumph over evil and ultimately return home. The women of Ajax worked tirelessly within this factory for years and produced over 40 million shells during the war effort to ensure their mission was a success.Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, October 14, 2020 -
3.8 on Untappd.Being only the second triple decocted Czech Pilsner available in Canada, it is the pinnacle evolution for our flagship Linton Stephenson Czech Pilsner. We honestly could not be happier with the final product and know you will feel the same way. This is an absolute must for any beer lover!Inaugural Batch: Monday, July 11, 2022 -
4 on Untappd.Collaboration with Eighty-Eight Brewing. This beer fuses Eighty-Eight's hoppy beer mastery and Tailgunner's passion for traditional brewing techniques, in order to create what we think might be the world's first double decocted double dry-hopped triple IPA. Boasting a double decoction mash and the highest hopping rate ever attempted at Tailgunner, we kept the grain bill simple and anchored this beer with a classic hop blend of Columbus, Centennial, and Simcoe added at many points during the brewing process. Enjoy in moderation!Inaugural Batch: Thursday, February 16, 2023 -
3.6 on Untappd.An obscure malt-forward beer style from Düsseldorf, Altbier (alt means "old") shares lineage with its cousin the Kölsch in that it is fermented warm with ale yeast before being conditioned cold like a lager. Our Altbier uses 100% Bavarian ingredients, is unfined/unfiltered, naturally carbonated, and lagered for eight weeks.Inaugural Batch: Thursday, December 2, 2021 -
4 on Untappd.S.O.S. has been reborn! Playing with new hop combinations to keep this IPA fresh, our new brewer Devin chose Galaxy and Columbus hops to create one heck of a tropical fruit salad explosion with hints of orange juice, no pulp.Inaugural Batch: Monday, October 3, 2022 -
3.7 on Untappd.A twist on a classic Berliner Weisse with hibiscus flowers added to the whirlpool, strawberries during fermentation, and Loomi limes during conditioning. Jammy, tart, and floral with a hint of salinity.Inaugural Batch: Thursday, June 10, 2021 -
3.8 on Untappd.For the second entry in our fruited kettle sour series, we added an obscene amount of Canadian cherries during fermentation before conditioning the beer with whole Grade A Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans.Inaugural Batch: Thursday, July 22, 2021 -
3.6 on Untappd.Drawing on our friend Brandon's German brewing experience, we collaborated with Avling Brewery to update our beloved Kölsch-inspired recipe. Featuring 100% Bavarian ingredients and a single decoction mash, The Fix is naturally carbonated, unfined/unfiltered, and lagered for eight weeks. Danke, Braumeister!Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, July 6, 2021 -
3.6 on Untappd.Sitting Time is our tribute to the often-overlooked English Pale Ale. We used 100% raw materials from the UK, a single decoction mash, and “casked” the beer in tank for natural carbonation.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, November 19, 2022 -
3.6 on Untappd.Inspired by the bitter, balanced, and drinkable hoppy beers of the American Midwest, this IPA uses 100% Alberta grains and 100% Centennial hops from the Pacific NW to create a truly sessionable.Inaugural Batch: Saturday, November 19, 2022 -

4 on Untappd.This latest version of S.O.S. is a thick and juicy delight. Heaps of Citra bring all the juicy notes to the party while Galaxy balances the sweetness with a subtle grassy bite. It’s like you dropped your orange popsicle into grass clippings and continued to eat it without missing a beat, in the best possible way.Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, April 19, 2023

3.8 on Untappd.We kettle soured this beer with our favourite strain of lactobacillus before fermenting it with our house ale yeast. Then we dry-hopped it with lots of Citra.

3 months agoI organized an 8 person meetup at Tailgunners on a Tuesday night for their trivia Tuesdays event. Firstly, their taproom is beautiful. They have large doors that roll up in good weather. Unfortunately the patio was covered in snow but I'd love to return in the summer. I didn't eat but most of my friends ordered pizza. The pepperoni pizza was loaded with pepperoni and was reported to be greasy but good. They had local cider in cans. I really liked the Sour of Love sour peach. Will definitely return!

2 weeks agoBy far one of the best breweries in the city. It also helps that it has the best Trivia night in the city, but I've always had a great time regardless of the trivia. The staff are incredibly good, and the beer is DELICIOUS!! Since the pizza arrived their food has improved immensely!
