About
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU TAKE A HOBBY WAY TOO FAR…
Back in 2007 Graham Sherman met his buddy and Tool Shed co-founder Jeff while working on Government / Military IT infrastructure and satellite communication projects throughout Afghanistan. They connected over a love for taking their hobbies WAY too far and Tool Shed Brewing is the natural result of two good home brewing friends that took their favourite hobby further than most.

From its inception in Graham’s back yard tool shed on a basic 5 gallon home-brew system, Tool Shed Brewing Company has always been destined for great things. Today Graham and the amazing team at Tool Shed bring an obsessive love for great craft beer and a high level of geekery to the craft of making it!

Everyone grew up being told to find something you love to do, and then find a way to make a career of it! Almost every home-brewer who’s taken that first sip of their VERY OWN, home-brewed creation, has experienced that contemplative smirk break across their face as they enjoy their craft, all the while, fantasizing about quitting their job in favour of a lifetime of bringing great beer to like minded people.

As Tool Shed Brewing continues to grow we naturally continue to run into more like-minded people with the same passion and are building our brewery around these great folks at the core.

On tap at Tool Shed, pours a clear pale copper with a small white head. Aroma brings out clean piney hops upfront, with a bready malt base. Flavour is along the same lines, with piney hops, some resins, and biscuity malt. Piney and biscuity malt. It's alright.

To The Patio from Tool Shed Brewing Company

473ml can. I'm told the name is in reference to their patio that is finally open after a battle with the City of Calgary over permits. Pours a slightly hazy pale yellow with a small, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces. Mild aroma of crackery pale malt, lemon and floral hops. Sweet flavour of crackery pale malt, lemon rind, floral and light pine with a dry, bitter grass finish. Light body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Serves its purpose as an easy to drink, summertime patio beer.

355ml can. Pours an opaque black with a large, creamy, long lasting, light brown head that leaves plenty of lace. Sweet aroma of roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee. Sweet flavour of roasted malt, dark chocolate, coffee and light caramel with a dry, mildly bitter finish. Light to medium body with a smooth, oily texture and soft carbonation. Pretty solid, probably their best beer.

The background thick malt toffee is the strength of this beer. But I think it is overhopped for the style, like most ambers these days. Decent. Chilis Calgary Airport. (3.2 oct 2016) ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone Costco adventkal. It has changed for sure, now it is a toffee bomb more than anything. Low hop, sweet caramel
