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.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 -
3.7 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 -
3.8 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 -
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 -
3.6 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 -
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 -

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.

a month agoA top tier option in Calgary if you are looking for a place to grab a drink and some good eats. The taproom itself is very inviting and conceptualized very well. The beer is well crafted with high quality ingredients and it comes through with every sip. They have a nice variety, so there will be something for anyone and everyone. I was blown away by the pizza...it easily made my list of some of the best Calgary has to offer. The crust is something special. Tailgunner is a place I will gladly recommend to anyone and one that I will return to many more times.

5 months agoGreat ambience with dim light mood and sophisticated aesthetic. Their beers are great for good session with friends, especially their Dame Dorothy pale ale and Welcome Lager. It's also a big bonus that they also have ACME Pizza in house so you can get quality thin pizzas with your brews. Their patio is big enough to accommodate more groups. Street Parking can be tricky, especially in rush hour so plan ahead.

4 months agoThe best place nice patio good food and best of all amazing beers if I lived here I would be here all the time Great to see the beer made with Great Lakes in Etobicoke The sours were great too just the right amount of sour Very yummy
-
3 months agoReally good pizza! The carbonara is quite rich, but delicious. The carne was the star here! The spicy maple dip is very good with the crust!
-
2 months agoThe best pizza you will ever have. The beer is great too, good variety of options. Service was efficient, always had drinks in front of us. Kid friendly which is awesome, but they don't have a change table- so you will see parents changing kids on the tables /booths. An easy fix to throw a change table in the bathroom.
