Alberta bound

OK so people always ask us what we recommend but we don't like that question because our tastes are not yours. What we try to do is direct people to a Canadian craft alternative

But what do we like here in AB?

In Calgary we spend a lot of time at Wild Rose and it's mostly for the crude stout. An absolute favourite

Alley Kat's Charlie Flint is a go to beer and is always in the fridge

Brew Brothers Ambush Pale Ale is enjoyable but harder to find

Village's wit is thankfully in many pubs and our 'in pub' go to. Delicious

In Canmore we like Grizzly Paw's rutting elk red

If you ever get a chance to try Brewster's coconut porter do it

Ambers' Chocolate stout is nice, though we love stouts

This is getting long but we've turned lager drinkers onto Yellowhead and Drummond and if you're ever in the mountains when Banff Ave has a Saskatoon beer on try it.

All fairness we have not made it up to Hogshead or Norseman but will soon

There you go - get out and try them

Our national picks - AB

We were recently at a gathering and a friend's father asked if we were still writing about Canadian craft beer. A few lame excuses ensued and a realization that some serious time has indeed passed since even an appearance by us in TAPS - Canada's beer magazine

Well here's an attempt at resurrection.

A look at our Canadian beers that you can readily find in the prairies.

Our mission has always been in promotion and appreciation of Canadian craft so we won't rate the beer - everyone does that and beers' many flavours exist because someone liked it.

OK. It'd be dumb to start outside of Alberta so the posts will start in AB
