Description
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.

very clean slightly grassy nose. Clean minerally palate aggressively bitter. Definitely a lager not a pils. Nice stuff

On tap at Dandy, pours a clear golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out earthy hops, light pine, and biscuity malt. Flavour is very musty and earthy, with earthy hops and bready malt. Not the best hop character - rather washed out. Okay.

On tap at Dandy, pours black with a small tan head. Aroma brings out intense roasted malt, lactose, and a touch of cinnamon. Flavour is along the same lines, with cinnamon, lactose and cocoa. Heavy on the cinnamon and rather harsh, but it's a fun one -- just needs better integration and perhaps mellowing out on the cinnamon.

On tap at Dandy, pours a cloudy fuzzy orangey blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out piney hops upfront, with a crisp biscuity malt baseline. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, some dankness, and biscuity malt. Piney and dry. Good stuff.

On tap. Pours a hazy gold-yellow with a medium, creamy, long lasting, white head that leaves curtains of lace. Aroma of grainy pale malt, funky yeast, white wine, lacto, lemon, vinegar and musty hops. Sweet flavour of grainy pale malt, lemon, white grape, lacto and grassy hops in a crisp, dry, sour, acidic finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Decent.
