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.
Draft - Fruity and funky soured malts. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Light fruity acidity up front, some passion fruit and a grassy pleasant dry finish. Solid kettle sour.
Draft - Very earthy and mossy with Woody notes. Clearish gold with a decent white head. Lots of earthy notes and wood. Hops are a bit weird and earthy.
Draft - Light orange and some esters and tea like notes. Clear gold with a decent white head. Loght malts and some fruity notes. A little boring but OK.

Light and easy drinking.
On draft at the Banff Avenue Brewery. Pours black with a tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate. Flavors of dusty leather and tobacco. Light bodied. Bitter finish.
Okay modest head, foggy yellow body, just okay. Wheat notes on the nose, hints of lemon, just okay. Flavour has orange peel and hints of coriander, wheat, slight hop hints, again just okay. Okay? It’s really okay. Drinkable, maybe on a hot English summer day it’d hit the spot. Tho I always found them a little bit mild and rainy. But okay.
Bomber with the big brown label. Has a very fine head of antique white, carbonated gold body with hints of brown. Good hop aroma, mentions of malts, some odd fragrance on the back end that I can’t place, like air freshener or dish soap (no it ain’t the glass, I only use water to rinse out the ol’ beer glass). Flavour is a well balanced sharp graham cracker with a dry finish. Well made, not too exciting but good to have a few gallons on a saturday night while watching hockey (if you can stomach the all-Florida playoffs or whatevers).
