Happy neighbour day, fellow Calgarians! Our newish, tubular neighbours at @dandyalesyyc, recently opened up their taproom a few blocks walk from our shop and they’re having a party today in and possibly out of their Ramsay taproom and you should go- food and of course beer are silly tasty and they’re lovely folks to boot! We helped them make these dope ball caps and they’re 100% 🤙🤙 —————————— #buyquality #shopnaqp #buybetter #madeincanada #dandyales #albertabeer #ballcap #neighbourlove #neighbourlylove #summerstyle #supportlocal #buylessbuybetter #shoplocal #supportsmall #mensfashion #menswear #mensstyle #NAQP #yyc (at NAQP)

#6748 XhAle They Weren’t Raging Against White Goods (Canada) Next up is @just_craft_beer_xtina’s 6.3% Alberta Beverage Award-winning Belgian-style farmhouse ale, and she’s a bloody ripper. It pours hazy with a huge meringue head and a bubblegum nose, it was dry hopped with French Barbe Rouge hops, it’s crisp with sharp carb yet it’s also quite creamy and smooth, it’s fruity, dry, with wicked spicy, grassy notes alongside lemon balm and berry vibes, it’s super crushable and bang on style, wrapping in a dusty, clean finish. Bomb. — #abcraftbeer #albertabeer #drinkcraft #craftbrew #calgarycraftbeer #abbeer #albertacraftbeer #calgarybeer #xhale #xhalebrewco (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXk0OFcr2YS/?utm_medium=tumblr

#6747 XhAle Mates For Life (Canada) Hanging with @just_craft_beer_xtina on the pod tonight, and I’m getting into this 5.3% British Golden Ale with coffee from Dingo Coffee Co. in Calgary, AB! She added a twist to a UK classic, and it really works. It pours opaque with a foamy head and a bready, fruity, coffee nose, the coffee shines up alongside sweet cereals, it’s fruity and smooth, crushable with a slight espresso bitterness, it’s earthy, herbal and citrusy with Triumph hops, wrapping in a dry, refreshing finish. Really solid stuff. — #abcraftbeer #albertabeer #drinkcraft #craftbrew #calgarycraftbeer #abbeer #albertacraftbeer #calgarybeer #xhale #xhalebrewco (at Montreal, Quebec) https://www.instagram.com/p/CXkz7TJrhKy/?utm_medium=tumblr

When breweries go to the trouble and expense of sending out promo packages, they almost invariably and quite logically focus on new beers. So when a recent mailing from Big Rock featured a six-pack of Traditional Ale, a brand more than three decades old, I was a bit surprised. But I was also happy to have the chance to revisit it, as it had been quite some time since I’ve had a Trad. It seems be little changed from the beer that I drank fairly regularly in its earlier days – a laid-back aroma and flavour with mellow notes of chocolate and toasted nuts; a finish that is fairly dry and twiggy with a slight minerality; and a body that is on the light side for a brown ale, but perfect to carry the flavour and cleanse the palate for the next mouthful. . . . . . #beer #craftbeer #beerphoto #craftbeerphoto #beerreview #craftbeerreview #albertabeer #albertacraftbeer #brownale #maltyale #sessionale #bigrockbrewery #startanewTRADition
