Description
Calgary Taproom and Brewery. In 1974, a De Havilland Buffalo aircraft with 9 Canadian peacekeepers on board was shot down over Syria with no survivors. Our name, Buffalo 9 Brewing Company, honours those 9 peacekeepers killed. Our beer names and label designs will pay respect and honor our military’s contributions both past and present. The relevance of Buffalo 9 also plays into the two highways which border the rural farm where one of our founders grew up. Both founders have had family members serve in the war and it holds great importance to them.
