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.

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.

Chewy beer. Like a messy version of a well intentioned beer. …….Costco advent.

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.

473ml can. Pours a murky orange gold with yeast particles that sink to the bottom and a medium, fluffy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves thick curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, pineapple, earthy yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, passionfruit, earthy yeast and light piney hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Juicy and easy to put back.

473ml can. Pours a hazy straw colour with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Mild aroma of grainy pale malt, honeydew melon, yeast and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, honeydew melon, lemon and floral hops in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a thin, watery texture and average carbonation. Crushable and not bad for what it is.
