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.

473ml can. Pours a clear amber gold with a large, frothy, short lived, off-white head that leaves soapy lace. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, lemon and weedy hops. Sweet flavour of biscuity pale malt, orange rind and light piney hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Crushable, but not really much flavour.
