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.

Pale amber, bright. A sort of scummy head, which seems to be the thing with non-alcs, as the chemistry is a bit different from beers with alcohol. I actually don't remember where I found this, a local grocery store, and of course the first Village beer I've had outside of Calgary. Aroma is worty, sort of minty, but more caramelly. Light body, toasty malt, leafy hop, and mild caramel. It's not bad, actually, there's decent complexity and balance to this one.

473ml can. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a large, frothy, long lasting, white head that leaves sticky curtains of lace. Aroma of bready wheat malt, guava, white wine, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, passionfruit, peach, white wine and piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Tasty.

Sample (thanks omhper!). Hazy deep golden colour small white head. Aroma is floral, herbal and some lemongrassy tones. Flavour is floral, herbal, mild nectar and overall quite watery palate. Meh.

Svart med rödbruna kanter. Stort skum. Doft av rostad malt, soja, lakrits och mörk choklad. Smakar choklad, aska och rökt kött. Som Imperial Stouts smakade innan det blev bakelser av allt.

473ml can kindly shared by Finn. Spotty lacing from a fluffy white head, clear golden coloured body. Modest smell of dusty hops and pale malts. Mixed taste with pale malts, herbal hops and lavender. Slightly perfumed malt-hoppy tail. Accepted (Tromsø, 15.12.2023).

473ml can. Pours a clear amber with a medium, foamy, short lived, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild aroma of bready wheat malt, orange and floral hops. Mild, sweet flavour of grainy wheat malt, orange peel and piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily to watery texture and soft carbonation. Well balanced and crushable, but too timid for my liking.
