Description
The Establishment Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom located in Calgary’s Manchester Brewing District - an area perfect for brewery-hopping and was recently named Canadian Brewery of the Year for 2021 at the Canadian Brewing Awards and Alberta Brewery of the Year for 2021 at the Alberta Beer Awards. We are a band of friends and beer fanatics, united by one common goal: the proliferation of friendship through sharing stories and music over a beer. The taproom has a warm welcoming vibe with good tunes, house plants and beer snacks, surrounded by barrels that hold a variety of wild and sour beer creations that can take anywhere from three months to three years to mature. We brew flavourful and highly drinkable beers, from barrel-aged sours to hop-forward ales, European lagers, and everything in between.

Precioso color pajizo de preciosa textura nebulosa. Espuma no abundante pero de estupenda retención. Aroma muy intenso. Citricos. Piña. Mango. En boca textura super cremosa, suave. Amargor moderado. Y sabor muy agradable. Equilibrio de tonos del lúpulo, no destaca ninguno. Pero hay notas resinosas, herbales, y fruta. Lima, limón. Piña. Maracuyá. Alguna nota funky también. Muy buena.

750mL bottle, pours a deep dark red with a small white head. Aroma is full of bright mixed berries—blueberries, raspberries, and no doubt the others—with lots of wild yeast, and some oak. Flavour is fairly tart and very jammy, with lots of sour raspberries, a touch of blueberry jam, pithiness, a touch of wild yeast, and a touch of oak. Not super complex, rather somewhat pithy and yet jammy. Pleasant.

750mL bottle. Pours murky dull mahagony with a white head. Lots of buggy berries, woody barrels, some must on the nose. Flavour has a medley of tart berries, some bugginess, woody. Tart and dry on the finish. Solid.

473ml can. Pours a clear gold with a medium, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Aroma of bready pale malt, grass, herbal and floral hops. Sweet flavour of bready pale malt, lemon, grass and spicy hops in a crisp, dry, bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Clean and crushable.
