About
IT TAKES A VILLAGE
Some of the best things happen over beer. Ideas are born, friendships forged, deals struck, communities built. That’s how Village Brewery began, friends sharing beers and dreams. Around the table, we had close to a century and a half of brewing experience. One of us was a legendary Canadian brewmaster. Naturally the talk turned to the art and craft of better beer, then to secret sources of malts and hops. By last call we had dreamed up a true community brewery. A brewery that would support Calgary’s artists and craftspeople. A brewery that would create the excellent ales and lagers our friends and neighbors deserve. That talk over beer started the brewery that handcrafted the fine brew you hold in your hand. Please join our table, lift a pint and salute the Village of Calgary. It takes a Village to raise a beer. And a beer to raise a Village.

Bouteille(Merci, Jonas!):Cloudy, yellowish coloured, quickly collapsing white foamy head; moderate citrussy-wheaty nose with a solid yeasty background; moderate sourish-bitter flavour, covering a subdued sweetness; light bodied, but not watery, and soft; lingering sourish citrussy finish with one very delicate trace of coriander. O.K., just refreshing…

Bottle. Sulphur and cabbage nose. Urine yellow, low white head. Medium light body, ok malt base, chewiness, mellow mouthfeel. Light grass and DMS finish. Weird do they have a pact with the devil to collect all brewing flaws in their most accessible beer?
