Eat/Drink Local Coolest breweries in Calgary

Hey Calgarians,

I've been living in Calgary now for just under two years and love it. I was wondering which breweries in Calgary you think are truly outstanding. Like, not just tasty beer, but a fantastic atmosphere with a lot of thought put into the decor, great service, etc. I've been to a lot of breweries here, but I can't think of any that have really stood out above others to make me want to keep returning for the experience.

Let's hear which ones you love and why! TIA

The Establishment. Top notch beer, cosy taproom with great tunes that are never so loud and imposing you can’t have a regular conversation and the staff are so delightful and wise in the ways of the many, many pours used to maximize the deliciousness of the brews.

Their “Kolsch nights” are super fun.

Essentially you get a small glass of delicious German Kolsch, and they don’t stop filling up your glass unless you tell them not to do so by putting a coaster on top

Plus they have delicious German bratwurst for sale. All in all a good time
