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!

473ml can. Pours a slightly hazy pink-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Sweet aroma of grainy wheat malt, raspberry and light mint. Sweet flavour of wheat malt and strong mint with a slightly tart raspberry finish. Light body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Refreshing and interesting, but I would have liked more crispness in the finish and the mint could have been more subtle. The mint overpowers the raspberry.

473ml can. Pours an opaque black with a small, creamy, short lived, brown head that laces. Semi-sweet aroma of roasted bready malt, dark chocolate, caramel and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, lactose, licorice, ash and a hint of smoke with a dry, bitter coffee finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and average carbonation. Delicious.

473ml can. Another nascent brewing concern in Calgary, just not born there. Pours a slightly hazy red-amber with a medium, foamy, long lasting, beige head that laces nicely. Mild, sweet aroma of grainy caramel malt, biscuit, toffee, nuts and earth. Sweet flavour of toasted biscuit malt, caramel, orange rind, ash and earth with a dry, bitter hop finish. Medium body with a smooth, oily texture and average carbonation. Flavourful and easy drinking. Nicely done.
