About
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.

Vibrant, pale, thin head. It's got a lot of allium, a bit of danky hop stuff. Light body, low bitterness, soft body. The hop character isn't working for me, though, just too much green onion stuff.

Dark brown. Not much head. The aroma is full of coffee, chocolate, and some herbaceous hops. Full body. Light fruity hops, decent bitterness, and good toasty, chocolatey complexity.

Can. It's opaque, with a pale guava colour. Medium head. On the nose, lots of tartness, decent amount of guava character. Light sweetness. Good balance on this one.

16oz shared with George @ 🏡 celebrating his new job. Appearance: dark brown with a dark beige head. Aroma: roasted malt, some metallic notes, a bit of chocolate. Taste: roasty, quite good body, some acidity. Overall: good thing, but Russian Imperial Stout is too roasty for me.

473ml can. Pours a hazy orange-yellow with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces. Sweet fruity aroma of biscuit malt, orange peel and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of biscuit malt, tangerine, orange peel and light piney hops in a dry, tart finish. Light to medium body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Juicy, refreshing and ABV is well hidden.
