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.

Mahogany color. Nice chololate, dry nose. Light mouth chocolate, but not the lightness of a lager. Very low hops. Like a schwarz on ale yeast.

Keg at National Beer Hall, Calgary. It pours deep brown, with a thick light beige head. The nose is roasted malt, light charcoal and filter coffee. The taste is roasted malt, toast, caramel, soft dark fruit, light charcoal, vinous aspect and chocolate, with a dry, bitter finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Decent
