As of right now, there are 32 breweries in Calgary! What a time to be alive.
What are some of your guys' favourites places? What specific beers?
I've tried a bunch, and nothing is glaringly bad. As someone who generally does not like sours that knocks out a few (most obviously Dandy), but these are the top picks for me:
- Citizen Brewery: Probably my favourite brewery in Calgary right now. Their place has a chill and welcoming vibe, food is very good, and consistently enjoy their BELMA AND LOUISE NEPA. During the summer they had a Hawaiian inspired beer I liked...can't remember the name sadly.
- '88 Brewing: Fun place albeit very busy and a bit small. Noble Pie is a legit fantastic pizza. I like the Hologram and Night Gallery.
- Last Best Brewing: Excellent food, only tried the Dirty Bird Lager because it's that good, and haven't bothered with others yet. Lots of space, which I appreciate.
- Railyard Brewing: Lots of space, food selection is really small albeit the pretzel was very good. Really liked the Belgian Cherry DIPA IPA and NEIPA IPA - New England.
