    IPA - American | 
    6.2% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    50 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    Brewed to invite you in, with tropical aromas. True to style with pleasant piney notes to remind you that Trees Don’t Move, but this WCIPA will make you move.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, May 9, 2022 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Lager - Vienna | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    12 IBU (Trace Bitterness)

  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Lager - American | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    12 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    This beer is designed to be enjoyed in the sun. Light and refreshing, with subtle notes of corn and very little hop flavour, you’ll feel like you’re on the beach. Encouraged to be paired with a lime wedge.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, May 9, 2022 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Blonde / Golden Ale - Other | 
    4.25% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    20 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Medium light body but not your typical Blonde. Malt forward but balanced with Citra hops throughout the brewing process. It's a bit Rude, but you shouldn’t be.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, May 9, 2022 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Pale Ale - Australian | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    80 IBU (Intense Bitterness)

  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Wheat Beer - Witbier / Blanche | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    18 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    A soft medium light to medium body. Large orange peel and coriander aroma, crisp dry finish. Served with a slice of orange, but best enjoyed on a patio, in the sunshine.
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, May 24, 2022 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.

    5% Alcohol/Vol. |

  •  3.5 on Untappd.
    Lager - American Light | 
    4% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    14 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Hookin’ isn’t easy drinking high ABV beers. That's why we’ve made a light one for you to take out. Light bodied, light hops, and crisp flavour so you can make hookin’ that fish a little easier.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, May 9, 2022 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Scottish Export Ale | 
    6.8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    23 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Scottish Export, but more. Sweet dried fruit aroma transitions smoothly on the tongue to dates and raisins. Paired with its medium body and slight earthy notes from the hops smoothes the high 6.8% ABV.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, May 9, 2022 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.

    4% Alcohol/Vol. |

    Excellent Brewery in the Crowsnest Pass! You walk in with a smile after reading their entry sign at the front door! I tried a variety of their beer and thought they were all fantastic. High Rock Mango, Can I Get a Witness, AVO's got your Bock, AleTrail, PasStout on Nitro, Uphill Battle and the Passarita made with El Cerveza were outstanding!! Started off with an order of Furious Wings. The spicy parmesan and garlic sauce had some heat and sweetness to it. The wings were a great size with lots of meat and flavor. Ordered a couple of their woodfired pizza's; Kind of a Big Dill and The Med. Both were exceptionally well cooked and charred. They tasted fantastic! (My first pizza with pickles on it, and it worked!!) The atmosphere was great and the servers were always making sure that the glass was topped up! Even though there was a torrential down pour outside, the servers were having fun and making the best of it. 5 Stars for Beers, Service & Food!

    What a great place. Super friendly staff, thank you to the young lady who reminded us that we were in a brewery and could have a beer instead of pop. We chose nachos over pizza and they were quite good. I'm going to assume the chicken fingers and pizza were also good because they disappeared in short order. Awesome atmosphere, comfortable setting. Recommended!

    An obvious gem of the town, it was cracking at dinner time on Saturday. The beer was fantastic, the waitress Tara was awesome and welcoming. The food was excellent! Loved the featured pizza. The only reason why I dock one star is the black flies were a little much inside. Might have been the rain storm but they were annoying to eat around and distracted us while we ate. Otherwise I'll be back for sure, see you next time!

    Great pizza and tasty beer! I am so thankful that The Pass Beer exists as it is sometimes the only place you can dine and get food at night! I love the pizza and the selection of microbrew beer is good and very well made. Support local and help small business survive and add economic advantage to the Pass!
