Description
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.

0.33 bottle. Milky yellow, low head. Light minerally and spicy aroma. Medium, ok chewy body, fruity base, apples, oranges, grape, light on the perfume, pleasant hop counterpoint. Nice fresh wit which doesn’t dwell too much on the usual trappings but just is a nice moreish brew.

Looks gorgeous, big fluffy head, and vibrant yellow colour. Aroma has light spice. Soft body, tastes a bit like apricot yoghurt. Mellow, sweetish finish.

Medium brown, aroma is porterish with toasty, slightly roasty malts, taste the same, with modest bitterness...a good, slightly hoppy porter.

Butterbomb drain pour. Looked really nice, but that’s it. Who on earth wants to drink a pint of diacetyl?

Cloudy tan, thin head. Aroma is fruity, bit of lighter orchard fruits, bit of tropical as well. Some yeast noted in the aroma. High carbonation level. Taste is yeasty and some citrusy/orchard hop. Mellow malts, mostly just yeastiness. Just enough bitterness - mid 20s I would say, a dash below most ISAs. Definitely needs to be cleaner.

light brown color. Tons of chai and light chocolate character. Smooth, perhaps a bit over spiced, but still not bad
