    Red Ale - American Amber / Red | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    16 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    A medium bodied beer with slight caramel and roast flavours. This traditional Scottish style amber ale uses a combination of various roasted and pale malts to create its distinctive character. Mahogany in colour, Rutting Elk Red is a great intro into the darker beers. People who want to move beyond our pale beers or have some beer knowledge will enjoy this classic.
    Inaugural Batch: Sunday, May 8, 2011

    Wheat Beer - American Pale Wheat | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    14 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Made with real honey, local pale malts and wheat, this is a sweet medium bodied beer. Wheat makes up almost 30% of the grains of this Grizzly Paw favourite. This beer greets you with a floral nose and a well rounded body, sweet palate and smooth finish.

    Wheat Beer - American Pale Wheat | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    10 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    A light, unfiltered wheat ale with raspberries, this is a refreshing balanced beer. The combination of tartness and sweetness derived from the raspberries create a light, crisp, yet fruity palate. The rich golden colour is a combination of specialty malts and real raspberries added to the beer. The haze is a result of the yeast still lingering in suspension. An enduring favourite, this is a pleasant beer that is enjoyable either on the patio or after skiing. Available in bottles so you can take your fruity favourite home with you.

    After visiting dozens of breweries in Ontario, this was the first one in Alberta. Canmore is an amazing little town to begin with, and Grizzly Paw is just a perfect fit. Everything about this Brewery is just about perfect. The beers are all perfect.. different styles but all great in their own way. Loved Everything I tried. The chicken club sandwich is great and compliments the beers very well. Loved the patio and the interior of the Brewery. The selection of merchandise is very impressive and the staff is great and very helpful.

    Located very close to various Canmore lodges, hotels and a bustling area, Tank310 on the upper floor of the taproom provides a nice variety of food along with their already famous and awesome collection of house beers! I tried the Powder Hound blonde ale along with a Brisket sandwich and both were delicious. Will definitely visit again and get the running elk next time!

    One of the best spots physically for tasting beer that I've seen - beautiful view from a pretty patio. This location is different from their pub in the village of Canmore itself. Food there was not good. At the taproom we had a nice sandwich however. Beer is solid with a couple of really good ones including the brown ale and their traditional ipa.

    Good food, not great service at all. Finished all our food before the kids food even showed up and all they did was give us 3 dollars off the kids pizza. Not impressed. Wouldn't recommend if the service doesn't change.
