Description
Our founder and head brewer, Wade Brown, was born and raised in Colorado, where he cultivated a passion for quality crafted beer. After moving around the United States, he ultimately found his home in Calgary in 2012. Once again settled at the base of the Rocky Mountains, Wade embarked on his greatest adventure yet…to bring a bit of his home to Canada. He opened Born Colorado Brewing in the Barley Belt in April, 2018, with co-owner and partner Erin McQuitty.

At Born Colorado Brewing we believe beers are more than a beverage. They are laughing until you can’t breathe and camping under the stars in Banff. They are backyard barbecues on Canada Day and sunburns from Spring skiing. That is why BCB brews crisp, fresh, unique beers that have you itching for your next journey.

The BCB taproom is a place to engage with our vibrant city. We provide the beer and space for you to write your story. BCB is a place where strangers become friends over good brews, lots of laughs, and adventure. Come say hi! We can’t wait to host you!
