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.

dark brown color. Green apples, oak, cherries, blackberries and quit acidic. Almost balsamic vinegar like character. Very sour. Medium full bodied. Excellent depth. Very dry. This is intense, like rare barrel level of sourness. Excellent.

473ml can. Pours a cloudy blonde with a medium, creamy, long lasting, white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Sweet fruity aroma of bready wheat malt, Belgian yeast, mango, orange peel and herbal hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, pineapple, mango, Belgian yeast, black pepper and light piney hops in a dry, bitter finish. Medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy, delicious and well balanced.

white amber color. Massively dank, over ripe mangos, citrus, juicy as hell, smooth. Perfect balance. This is exemplary. This is up with the best NE IPAs you can find.

Poured from 750mL bottle @ Weathered 2023. Cloudy blonde with small white head. Nice peach, mild tartness, probably benefited from age.
