    5.8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    35 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    This brew packs a bear hug of maltiness with intense notes of fine roasted coffee, dark chocolate, molasses and cacao, yet with a lingering sweetness and hints of raisin and plum that round out the malt character. Moderate hop additions provide a floral, herbal, and earthy counterpart to the malt in both flavour and aroma; all this, topped with peach and dried fruit esters, combine to make this a full-bodied, yet extremely drinkable, porter.

  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    IPA - Session | 
    4.7% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    55 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    Smashing together raw materials can produce unexpected results even when the intention is focused. It’s not random, there’s an order behind the process. Likewise, mixing simmering conversations with early twilight air has the potential to create a multitude of events but likely only one moment that’ll sear into your memory. You have to forge through the inane chit chat, light a thousand embers of insight so that one roaring blaze might ignite an experience worthy of illumination. The Flint & Steel’s rich aromatics boast strong hop flavours as well as intense and varied notes of fruit. Think blackcurrant, apricot and ripe berry mellowed out by caramel, sweet bread and graham cracker to create a light and easy to drink beer with an unforgettable fragrance. Slightly bitter, silky but robust, this Session India Pale Ale pairs with spicy and sweet grilled meats and Cajun seafood, Thai curries, and carrot cake, too.
    Inaugural Batch: Sunday, January 10, 2016 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    IPA - Rye |

    4.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    35 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    Brewed in the classic Bohemian pilsner style, Rushing Waters boasts rich maltiness and multiple additions of Czech Saaz hops. Expect notes of intricate, bready, sweet toasted malt intertwined with spicy, grassy and herbal hop flavour and aroma, with a pronounced yet refined bitterness. Extended lagering time accentuates the crisp, clean nature of this exceptionally smooth-drinking beer.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, July 13, 2018 
  •  3.5 on Untappd.

    4.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    19 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Delicate in aroma, with faint notes of sweet corn and a muted herbal hop character. Flavours of sweet grain dominate, while Willamette hops provide a subtle background counterpoint of fresh geraniums. Very light-bodied, finishing crisp, dry, and extremely refreshing on the palate.
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, June 17, 2022

    Mild - Other | 
    4.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    17 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    When trying to make a beer that resembles a chocolate bar, the temptation is to go big in every way. However, we decided to challenge ourselves by making something that is super sessionable, yet complex enough to keep your palate interested. Lotney possesses aromas of nougat, dark caramel, chocolate and honey which are supported by flavours of toffee, nuts and butterscotch. Smooth and light in body, enjoy this pint slightly warmer than normal to allow the many specialty malts to really shine!
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, March 22, 2021 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Lager - Amber / Red | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. |

    IPA - Rye | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    45 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    A simple and refreshing pale ale, brewed with two distinct rye malts, a generous helping of flaked rye, and a healthy dose of Citra hops. Subtle notes of fresh bread and passion fruit accompany a fresh citrus aroma. Rye spiciness lends a prominent role to the flavour, while the citrus notes present more clearly as sweet mandarin orange and ruby red grapefruit. A hint of peach and lingering bitterness round out the aftertaste.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, May 31, 2021 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Belgian Tripel | 
    8.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    28 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Clocking in at a sneaky 8.6%, our fall seasonal is jam-packed with character. A traditional Belgian Abbey yeast provides a bevy of fruity aromas, including ripe bananas, blackberry, raisins, and sweet orange. Continental malts contribute a grainy, honey malt backbone, accompanying a floral hop character, abundant fruitiness, and a slightly spicy finish.
    Inaugural Batch: Sunday, September 25, 2022 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Wheat Beer - Hefeweizen | 
    5.2% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    0 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    Expect a wide range of aromatics, including but not limited to: bananas, clove, bubblegum, fresh lemon, honeydew melon and white pepper. Similar notes carry through into the flavour, with a soft, creamy mouthfeel from the wheat giving way to a crisp, semi-dry and lightly acidic finish.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, June 2, 2022 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Stout - Milk / Sweet | 
    5.5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    25 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Coalspur offers the deep, elegant flavours of an imperial stout with the quaffability of a table stout. Rich touches of bittersweet chocolate and dark roasted espresso are counterbalanced by lactose, which brings a creamy mouthfeel and slight sweetness.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, January 20, 2021 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    IPA - American | 
    6.7% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    51 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    We wouldn't call this a Creamsicle IPA if it didn't taste like a Creamsicle; sweet orange and creamy vanilla combine with silky smooth oats to produce a rich, flavourful pint. Brewed with carefully selected citrus-forward hops and aged on Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans, this beer will make you feel like a kid again.
    Inaugural Batch: Thursday, September 23, 2021 
  •  3.6 on Untappd.
    Kölsch | 
    7.1% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    17 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Robust, yet extremely approachable. Gentle notes of sweet grain, mild crackers, and fresh lemon zest make this the perfect patio summer sipper.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, August 4, 2021 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Pale Ale - New England / Hazy | 
    5% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    35 IBU (Gentle Bitterness) 
    Hazy and yellow with a pure white head, the Pale Horseman has a bold tropical aroma reminiscent of pineapple fruit cups and freshly sliced grapefruit. With light grainy notes of wheat and oats followed by bright pineapple, lemon citrus and some stone fruit, this beer feels smooth and silky upfront and leaves a soft lingering bittnerness
    Inaugural Batch: Friday, June 2, 2023 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Rauchbier | 
    8% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    22 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Our take on the classic smoked beers of Bamberg, dialed up to Doppelbock levels of goodness. A substantial proportion of the grain utilized was traditional Beechwood smoked malt, which delivers a nose of smoked bacon and rich caramel. Carlstadt then gives way to a palate full of gentle smokiness, fresh toasted bread, nougat and dark fruits, with a refreshing and balanced finish.
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, February 23, 2022 
  •  3.9 on Untappd.
    Winter Warmer | 
    7.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    25 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Although we don’t recommend drinking it at Camelot (it is a silly place), Galahad is the perfect pint to sip while contemplating the logistics of coconut migration. Matured in Caribbean rum barrels for six months then aged on toasted coconut and cinnamon chips, the resultant beer boasts a complex, robust spiced character. Intense aromas of coconut and rich vanilla are harmoniously joined by flavours of light toffee, nutty oak, and mulled dark rum.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, February 22, 2021 
  •  3.9 on Untappd.
    Brown Ale - English | 
    6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    32 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    Crafted as a tribute to the classic hermit cookie, this English Brown Ale combines rich biscuit, nut and caramel malt flavour with additions of fresh dates, molasses, nutmeg, and vanilla.Smooth, full bodied and complex, The Hermit is the perfect pint for braving the long Alberta Winter.
    Inaugural Batch: Saturday, December 4, 2021

    Great local beers! The brewery is nestled in the black spruce forest with a pooch-friendly patio and a great music, always playing. The owners/staff are welcoming and know a lot about their beers. We've loved this place since we moved here in 2018! A nice quick drive off the highway and you are there!

    Haven't been to their brewery but love their mountain size cans of White Raven. Loved them so much that we carried 20 of them with us through the Bowron Lakes canoe circuit. Best canned beer in Alberta!
