About
Being a Dandy means falling hard into your internal fascinations, desires, and interests. Whatever they may be. Dandies ignore trends and styles and walk their own path. Every one of us has the chance to be a Dandy, most of us already are without knowing it, and we’re here to celebrate that.

The Dandy Brewing Company is Calgary's original little brewery that embraces being a Dandy whatever that looks like. We produce inspired beers, styles we have fallen in love with, in small batches with lots of care.

Our unique approach to brewing and a keen eye for detail fosters creativity in both our recipes and beer styles.

On-site, we are pleased to offer a unique brewery experience featuring a full-service tasting room restaurant with an exquisite menu of fine drinking food, a curated selection of cocktails, glass pours of selected wines, and a wide selection of Dandy beers brewed on-site.

We share a passion for not only brewing, but the people, processes, and experiences that make the experience so special.

Baltus Van Tassel Cherry Sour from The Dandy Brewing Company

6.6/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
650ml bottle at Matt’s. Pours a hazy brown with a tan head. Aroma is sweet cherries. Taste is the same with bready notes. Not bad.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark reddish brown with a small beige head. Aroma brings out tart and sweet cherries, and saison yeast. Flavour is along the same lines, with tart cherries, light sweetness, and a touch of balsamic. Nothing overly complex, but it works well. Solid.

Bottle - Sour cherry juice. Cloudy reddish with a decent white head. Sour cherry, juice like and a clean finish. Nothing wrong with it, just a little simple and juice like.

Light brown and cloudy. Not much head. This has a light aroma that seems thin, maybe a touch woody, but it offers little. Tart, cherry, and I like the cherry, but the base beer is thin, and lacks complexity. It’s a bit sharp, which works for the fruit, but I’m struggling to find value in the base beer here, and ultimately that makes this unsatisfying.

In the Bleak of Midwinter from The Dandy Brewing Company

5.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
The floral nature of the hops jumps right out of the glass. It doesn’t really go with the chocolatey hops or anything, despite the fact that I like both elements. It’s medium brown, just a touch of haze. On the palate, the same ill effects show. Normally I love this style, but honestly the more tropical notes really just aren’t going with this chocolate. There’s no one element that doesn’t work but yet I just can’t get into this.

650mL bottle, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of toasted malt and a little piney hops. Flavour is very thin and weak, with toasted malt, boiled vegetables and subdued hops. A very weak and underwhelming black IPA, with some unpleasant vegetal notes on the finish. No good.

Dandy In the Underworld from The Dandy Brewing Company

5.4/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 5 Texture 4 Overall 5.5
650mL bottle, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out lots of brine, with a touch of toasted malt. Flavour is quite briney, with lots of sugars, light toasted malt and dry cocoa. Very briney, dry and chocolatey on the finish. Not very convincing for the style.

Sweet dandy octopus label. (and cap). Medium brown. Aroma seems sweet, like fudge, milk chocolate sort of character. On the palate, really sweet. Too much so. Just some fudgey chocolate stuff. Like cloying and one-dimensional. Maybe it pairs with stuff, but I don’t like it otherwise.

Une Vieille Maîtresse from The Dandy Brewing Company

5.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Bottle. Hazy and pale. Has no head. Heavily yeasty, like footy, with a touch of lime character, I guess from hops? The body is quite light. The yeastiness is not as pronounced on the palate. It’s more refreshing than that. There is a bit of light spice, touch of esters. So it’s a fairly light beer - as expected - with subtle spicy elements.

6.2/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6
650mL bottle, pours a hazy dull yellow blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of saison yeast upfront, followed by crackery malt, and a little funk. Flavour is along the same lines, with saison yeast and bone dry crackery malt. Just a touch of funk. Dry and easy to drink. Fairly true to style, but rather muted and lacking in oomph. Solid
