Calgary - Alberta

Set at the meeting point of the Bow and Elbow rivers, Calgary is neatly nestled in the prairie lands and foothills of the Canadian Rockies and is not only Alberta's largest city but also linked to Scotland's Isle of Mull, from where it gets its name. Calgary, a cosmopolitan Alberta city with numerous skyscrapers, owes its rapid growth to its status as the centre of Canada’s oil industry. However, it’s still steeped in the western culture that earned it the nickname “Cowtown,” evident in the Calgary Stampede, its massive July rodeo and festival that grew out of the farming exhibitions once presented here. If you're looking for things to do as a couple, group of friends or family then Calgary is jammed packed with good old fashioned fun and games with plenty of heritage and outdoor activities and attractions to keep your whole gang whooping from morning till night. For Calgary's most popular and worthwhile things to do check out; https://www.visitcalgary.com/

So as Calgary has 47 breweries / brewpubs as of April 2022 we will only be concentrating on those;

Cabin Brewing Company, 505 36 Ave SE

Open: Mon - Thurs 15.00 - 20.30 Fri - Sun 12.00 22.00

The folks at Cabin are awesome. They make incredible beer, and have created a wonderful space to gather in Calgary. Their taproom is comfortable and cosy and their team is always incredibly welcoming. Be sure to grab yourself an Aussie pie while you're supping some beer, they are outrageously delicious. Located a little south of downtown, in a strip mall in an industrial area, the tasting room is cool, small and simple, bright coloured, plenty of seating place, although it can get busy. 8 beers on tap, with flights of 4. One of the three must visits in Calgary.👍🏻

Wild Rose Brewery, 4580 Quesnay Wood Dr SW

Open: Dai;y 11.00 - 22.00

A funky microbrewery and taproom in a former airplane hangar with creative pub eats and occasional entertainment. A great place for having fabulous local beer, 🍻 which we really like. The food is also very good. The place has a good vibe and it's a popular place, with lots of locals. Located in the middle of nowhere, but well worth seeking out. On a Friday afternoon they parade out a cask ale with a Bagpiper around 15:30. It then sits on the bar until it is finished. Very friendly knowledgeable staff. I would recommend this one to anyone visiting Calgary. Oh and they have a Happy hour 😜 Thurs - Sun 15.00 - 18.00. You can also get a great brewery tour. 🍻🥨🍻 

Last Best Brewing & Distilling, 607 11 Ave SW

Open: Daily: 11.30 - 00.00

An open, contemporary brewpub featuring their own brand of in-house made beers and eclectic tavern grub. The service, experience, beer, laid-back atmosphere, and food are all top notch. They have an amazing extended happy hour [Mon-Sat 11:30-6 PM], try the smoked olives and pickle chips. This place is just short of a fine dining experience. Set in an older building south of downtown Calgary. Very nice retro decor, with lots of wood, luxurious benches, plenty of seating place's. The beers are OK to solid. Note there's a distillery here too and you can see the beautiful copper stills thru the indoor windows.

The Establishment Brewing Company, 4407 1 St SE

Open: Wed - Sun 12.00 - 21.00 ?

A large brewpub with a lot of seating options indoor and amazing decor with a cute outside space. Love the style and furniture, this crew has awesome taste in interior decorating, lots of wood and empty barrels used. Plus super friendly guys behind the long wooden bar were you can sit and drink while you peruse the tap list. They are consistently pushing the envelope with new and exciting releases and their taproom space is incredibly inviting and cosy.

Two Pillars Brewery, 910 Centre St NE

Open: Tues - Thurs 15.00 - 22.00 Fri - Sun 12.00 22.00

This place is a local gem!😊 Lovely Belgian style beers, with so many to try. Amazing quality and value. The taproom is cosy and beautiful. They have about 5 tables inside and a few outside on there patio. Very clean and stylish inside with wood accents and jazz music. The small batch beers they have so much flavour to them and they go well with the food they make here. The food is a little expensive but the quality makes it worth it. A great relaxed and calm atmosphere to hang out and talk with friends🙃. The owner and staff are all very passionate and knowledgeable about beer and very welcoming. Would highly recommend.👊🏽 

Annex Ale Project, 4323 1 St SE

Open: Tues - Sun 12.00 - 21.00 ?

Another amazing Calgary brewery! Great beer, cool fact that you can get yummy food next door and enjoy them together. Located a minute from Uncommon Cider, (see below) this modern, chic place is located in a little industrial lot with a small parking lot and otherwise free parking out front. Nice, small patio out front. 7 beers on tap with flights of 4. The place is modern yet cosy, plenty of seating place, friendly service.

Banded Peak Brewing, 519 34 Ave SE #119

Open: Daily 12.00 - 21.00

The Banded Peak family are amazing members of the Calgary Craft Beer scene. Their taproom team are always welcoming and excited to tell you about the newest creation. They now have a full menu of delicious grilled-cheese sandwiches to pair perfectly with a pint of Plainsbreaker! Very close to Cabin to Born Colorado, this is another worthwhile stop in this high density brewery area. Nice patio out front for the summer months, with a cozy interior with an industrial feel. Do the barley belt and check out Branded Peak Brewing. Best you can do is to order a flight of a few different beers.

Village Brewery, 5000 12a St SE

Open: Mon - Fri 09.00 - 16.00 (20.00?) Sat 12.00 -18.00

Good beer, good people, good business philosophy. Village Brewery makes a wide selection of beer, but they also have wonderful non-alcoholic brews, which taste really good. Craft non-alcoholic is a whole new world. We are no longer limited to grocery store non-alcoholic swill. A brewery with a tap room. Brewing is downstairs and a great tap room upstairs. You have to walk through one to get to the other. The layout is original. From the cool upstairs tap room you can walk out onto an indoor balcony with your beer and overlook the brewery while drinking. As you approach the stairs, each stair has a single word spelling out "it takes a village to raise a beer" very cool! A cool place to visit with great staff. I highly recommend Village as a must stop in Calgary.👊🏽

Brewsters McKenzie Towne, 11 McKenzie Towne Ave SE

Open: Daily: 11.30 - 23.00 or later?

This is a bar and restaurant for all ages, The regulars tend to be really fantastic people who accept diversity and that is very important. All of the staff and management are fantastic people. Inside it modern and clean looking with well spaced tables. They have around 16 taps serving some tasty beers. Oh and the roof top patio is beautiful! Check it out if you are in the area! They are one of Alberta’s longest-standing local breweries, with 9 restaurants across the province.

Brewsters Crowfoot, 25 Crowfoot Terrace NW

Open: Daily: 11.30 - 23.00 or later?

A great Brewsters location in the Crowfoot area. Lots of parking when you arrive. The place is clean and well maintained. The beer is always delicious. The food is awesome and always huge portions. The restaurant and bar are nice and homely. Love their attempts at new seasonal brews. The Blue Monk is a must have in winter. Overall highly recommend this location and chain.

Brewsters Lake Bonavista, 755 Lake Bonavista Dr SE #176

Open: Daily 11.30 - 22.00 or later?

Located in a plaza/stripmall, you won’t see this place! You have to go around back, as the plaza is double-sided. Anyway, this is a pretty sizable pub with an excellent atmosphere. Enough TVs with sports, a few vids, and most importantly, enough space to social distance😷. Also a covered terrace at the front. They have 12 taps but best of all you can buy all of their awesome beers to take home in pint bottles.

Brewsters Brewing Company - Foothills, 5519 53 St SE

Open: Mon - Fri 11.00 - 18.00

More of a cavern than a bar. Has a tasting room feel. Booths around the edges and tables in the middle. Lots of small TVs. A big bar at the end. The highlight is the smell of brewing when you are there at the right time. The only downside is this location closes at 6pm so if you're looking for dinner, go early.  Also at:

Brewsters Airdrie, 200 3 Stonegate Drive NW

Brewsters Brewing Co.  11th Avenue, 834 11 Avenue S.W.

Trolley 5 Brewpub, 728 17 Ave SW

Open: Mon 0 Fri 11.30 - 01.00 Sat - Sun 10.00 - 02.00

An industrial style space with outdoor seating serving house brewed beers, plus burgers, pizza and BBQ. Big sports bar feel to it, that feels more like a corporate brewpub than a craft beer establishment. 10 or so beers on tap, with 6 core, and 4 seasonal. Overall a cool space over 3 floors with some different experience value for each. Service can be hit or miss, but there are passionate people in the building. Unofficial Oilers HQ for playoffs. Whenever they offer their beer and ribs deal it’s the best, get it.

OT Brewing Company, 1155 44 Ave SE unit E

Open: Wed - Thurs 14.00 - 18.00 Fri 15.00 - 21.00 Sat - Sun 13.00 - 21.00

A totally amazing place. They have great prices with some pretty good snacks. The beer is probably the best of the new breweries that have opened up recently. One of the best Pilsners 🍻🥨 maybe even the best! The other beers are tasty too and the option to have a hot dog with your beer makes it even easier to spend an evening or afternoon here. A fairly small place with a few benches out front, located in a very industrial area. Over a dozen beers on tap, with flights available. They are quite ambitious in what they brew, with both a barrel aged barley wine and barrel aged imperial stout. Friendly service. A must-hit when in Calgary.

The Dandy Brewing Company And Tasting Room, 2003 11 St SE

Open: Tues - Wed 14.00 - 22.00 Fri - Sun 11.30 - 22.00

A laid-back brew house serving draft beers, plus hearty mains and small plates in an airy space. Dandy has a wonderful selection of beers there's something for everyone and they're all amazing. Particularly their stouts and sours. The interior and patio are awesome (there is great art and fire pits). The staff are all knowledgeable and great with their service.                                                           Otto says;  Its close to a bunch of other breweries, so this is a good place to work on a brewery crawl? 😜

Tool Shed Brewing Company, 801 30 St NE #9

Open: Daily: 11.00 - 21.00

Located in a big strip mall in an industrial area, this was a rugged-feeling tasting room. 8-10 on tap. The beer quality is solid, but nothing exceptional. The BBQ food at this place is unbelievably good. The tenderness of the meat combined with the taste explosion of the sauces in both the ribs and the tostadas is shockingly good. It’s no wonder that their chef is a competition pit master. Last but not the least, the service here is above and beyond outstanding.

Born Brewing Co. 414 36 Ave SE #3

Open: Mon - Thurs 14.00 - 21.00 Fri - Sun 12.00 - 23.00

An absolutely fantastic brewpub. The staff are dedicated to the craft and create such a vibrant, welcoming community feel. Located in the Barley Belt, in an industrial sector, this taproom is in front of Cabin, and is nicely decorated, dark wood, two levels, with the brewery in the back. Plus a chill patio out front for the warm months. 8-10 beers on tap. Solid beers, though nothing exceptional. Worth a visit when in this high density area of breweries.

South Block Barbecue & Brewing Co. 2437 4 St SW

Open: Daily: 11.00 - 00.00

A rustic-chic brewpub with a patio, a large place inside with upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs looked like regular restaurant seating while downstairs had a German beer hall setting. The wall leading to downstairs is filled with barrels. They serve North Carolina-style BBQ by the half-pound or sandwich. A nice environment and atmosphere, with decent service.

Citizen Brewing Company, 227 35 Ave NE

Open: Daily: 11.00 - 22.00

A great local brewery in a converted garage, the very good community vibes. A great place to grab a drink with friends. As with most breweries they have a great rotating selection and there is always something new to try. Citizen how ever also has a bang up kitchen delivering tasty eats to pair with your beer! Friendly service and a cosy atmosphere, a great hidden gem in the NE.

Inner City Brewing, 820 11 Ave SW

Open: Daily 11.00 - 22.00

A clean, beautiful and nice place, this is modern yet early 20th century industrial, plenty of seating place, half regular tables, the other half high stools, friendly service, free WiFi. Very nice food menu. They have a good variety of beers on tap. You could always taste it before ordering a beer. As a beer lover, I recommend this place, especially for its location. It's located downtown and you may always meet a friend there and have a couple of beers. Their beer price is a little bit higher than some other good breweries in the city.

Common Crown Brewing Co. 943 28 St NE

Open: Thurs - Sat 14.00 - 20.00 Sun 12.00 - 17.00

Common crown is quite the experience. Located in a very industrial area with a nice little tap room. Lots of ticks and well priced flights. Beer is OK, but lots of tap room only ticks so a solid stop. The staff are friendly and beer focused. When available you can access their brew house for a tour. With chalk tables very enjoyable music and giant Jenga there's fun for everyone. Go to common crown and enjoy a pint.

Paddy's Barbecue & Brewery, 3610 Burnsland Rd SE

Open: Daily 11.30 - 20.00

A BBQ/brewery joint in a very industrial area close to many other breweries. German-style beers for the most part on offer. Flights of 4 available. Self serve pub so no service really, but the staff are really friendly when you go up to the counter to order food. The food is melt in your mouth delicious and I would highly recommend every item on the menu, the brisket being the highlight of the affair.

Railyard Brewing, 10301 19 St NE Unit 121

Open: Daily 12.00 - 20.00 ?

A cavernous warehouse that they have tried to make fun and are sort of successful. Stepping inside you are met with a decor that has a great vibe. Big TV and gaming consoles with a big bar. The beer choices are plentiful and surprisingly may be paired with the food choices. Cheap good flights with decent beers. The lack of proper seating, having only backless stools for guest is a pain? A good spot if you are in the area.

High Line Brewingm, 1318 9 Ave SE #113

Open: Mon - Fri 15.00 - 22.00 Sat - Sun 12.00 - 20.00

Located in Inglewood, this brewery site is off the main strip, in an old garage building. A modern look with wood and dark paneling. Plenty of seating place with more than 10 tables and bar seating. Flights available, build your own with tasters. Easily some of the best beer in Calgary with even better service. The atmosphere and vibe are super chill. The staff are insanely friendly and within a few visits you feel like family. The food menu is limited but fun with six hot dogs variations.

Eighty-Eight Brewing Co. 2600 Portland St SE #1070

Open: Tues - Thurs 15.00 - 21.00 Fri - Sun 12.00 - 23.00 ?

If you like beer, this place is for you however, even if you are not sure you like beer or typically you don’t like beer, this place is for you. They have such a wide range of beer options that there are truly beers for anyone’s taste. Inside they have a bar and limited seating downstairs; upstairs is a quirky, inviting tasting room with a secondary bar (same taps). Flights of 3 x 6 oz pours The service is amazing so getting help in picking is easy. My suggestion. Get a flight of beer or two. It really lets you try the great variety that they have. They are well-known for their pizzas too.

Bitter Sisters Brewing Company, 510 Heritage Dr SW

Open: Mon - Wed - 15.00 - 22.00 Thurs - Sun 11.30 - 23.00

In the far south of the city, this cute little brewpub is a big lot with a big parking lot. A unique and feminine atmosphere, light touch to service, beautiful patio with lots of flowers, full service bar with 12 "bitter sisters" brews on tap. Two sisters own the business and their take on brewing is delightful! Winning combination! Beer quality is decent, with a standout IPA. The staff are friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Cold Garden Beverage Company, 1100 11 St SE

Open: Daily 11.00 - 00.00

A funky🥳, industrial-style brew house with a patio offering snacks and a variety of craft beers. One of the most eclectic places in Calgary. The entrance is a bit tricky to find as its up a driveway to an old warehouse. 8-10 beers on tap, with cheap flights of 4, you may test before order or you can try a flight. Very friendly staff and the beer is awesome. The place is cosy and warm, it's like the backyard of your grandpa's. The random selection of couches, chairs and sofa's come from every where and any where you can not even imagine, for instance you may sit on a bus chair. Lots of bright color signs on the walls. There is a "Gnome Zone" and even a wooden 🎸band! Don't forget to visit the washroom, it's the coolest washroom you will see. Oh and they are dog friendly. Otto says; a terrific atmosphere, great drinks and a wonderfully social place to hang out. Make sure to try it out.🤩

Ol' Beautiful Brewing Co. 1103 12 Street SE

Open: Daily 11.00 - 00.00

A wonderful atmosphere with unique interiors. Located about 5 minutes from High Line and next to the Cold Garden brewery, this is a very nice local, mixing old industrial and modern, long L shaped bar, plenty of table seating and a very large outdoor area. They have flight's of 4. The food here is provided by A1 Mexican food on premise. Well worth it if you are in Inglewood. Friendly, personable service. Worth a stop on a Calgary brewery crawl.

Good Mood Brewery, 4416 64 Ave SE #2123

Open: Tues- Sat 12.00 - 19.00

It's a small tasting room, bit sparse abut cool for atmosphere. As soon as you walk in you get the most amazing service. They go above and beyond great service and making sure you enjoy your visit. The owner is passionate and creates beer's in classic styles. Flights are available.

New Level Brewing, 7005 Fairmount Dr SE #4140

Open: Daily 12.00 - 19.00?

A unique brewery in a sea of new breweries. Heavy metal 🎸theme and creative craft options. Fun beer tasting experience. Located at the back of a big industrial complex, signage isn't great, and the place isn't located exactly where Google Maps say! Modern, intimate tasting room with 8-10 beers on tap, with flights of 4 available. The staff are always helpful and willing to chat about beer. Metal vibes are 100% plus the beer is diverse and creative. Drink here. 🤟

Legend 7 Brewing, 4025 9 St SE

Open: Wed - Sat 11.00 - 19.00

A top notch Taproom that is more of a comfortable restaurant/diner/bistro/pub that happens to have a brewery attached, with good seating, great beer and arcade games for entertainment. Simply, a great place with friendly, patient staff. Cheap flights. This company is attached to a large corporation that is not quite on the pulse.

Outcast Brewing, 607 Manitou Rd SE

Open: Mon-Thurs 14.00 - 19.00 Fri-Sat 13.00-22.00 Sun 13.00-18.00

The place is different from the brewery's stereotype (hipster industrial type), and its cool. Close to many other breweries, located in a big industrial lot. It's a warm and inviting space with comfy sofas. Unisex washrooms with change tables. Plenty of games to play. No TVs! Awesome. Come to chat, not stare at a screen. About a dozen beers on tap, with flights of 5 available. Beer quality is all over the map, with a couple of fun flavoured beers? Super friendly staff.

Revival Brewcade, 1217B 9 Ave SE

Open: Daily 15.00 - 23.00 Sat-Sun from 12.00

The drinks here are great! Probably one of the coolest place's to stop for a drink in Calgary for every beer lover! The manager Steven Palacios is awesome and a very welcoming person. They've got stuff for the adventurous beer drinker and the person who just wants a classic lager. The pinball and classic arcade 🤖 games really bring back good memories and it's great that you don't have to carry around coins to use them. The food is simple finger foods for sharing and they pair perfectly with the games and beer. Overall this place is great and don't forget; Happy Hour🥳: Mon - Sat 3pm to 5pm, Late night Happy Hour 9pm-Close and all day Sun

Big Rock Brewery, 5555 76 Ave SE

Open: Mon - Fri 10.00 - 16.00

A brewery with attached shop and restaurant that is open for lunch. Be sure to to the very well done tour. Interesting history behind Ed McNalley and the brewery itself. Afterward as part of the deal, you get the usual sit-down tasting experience (with the freshest samples of Big Rock beers you’ll ever have) and then get to build your own 6-pack to take home with you. Really fun! Good shop, wide selection of t-shirts and other merchandise. All of their own beers (and ciders) for sale. A big restaurant and patio but a small bar. Prices are high, so beware. They do flights and have their brand of cider so it is easy to fill up a flight. Great service.

Zero Issue Brewing, 4210 12 St NE

Open: Wed - Fri 15.00 -21.00 Sat - Sun 12.00 -20.00

Hands down probably the best brewery in Calgary. Great beer, especially for sours and IPA's, something new regularly, amazing can art, a great cosy taproom, with the shiny brew kit clearly visible, the bar back drop is like "Donkey Kong" screen shot! tall table and stool seating oh and fantastic staff. Not that far a drive from downtown, but still a ways out from other breweries. Located in a large industrial lot, with a pleasant little patio out front. They have 8-10 taps plus flight of 4.

Two House Brewing, 1516 10 Ave SW

Located just northwest of downtown with ample street parking out front, this is a very industrial feeling brewery taproom, with a large patio in front next to their big industrial garage door. Only 6 beers on tap, with flights of 4, 5 or 6 available for just over $2 a beer? They have BBQ or other food venders that turn up occasionally. There is a big projector for movie on some days. They also have pretzels, popcorn for snacks. Overall, it's a nice homey-vibe brewery.

Prairie Dog Brewing, 105D 58 Ave SE

Open: Daily 11.00 - 21.30

Absolutely amazing brewery! Great food and great drinks. A giant warehouse-like place, with a big island bar in the middle lot of old grain sacks on the walls. It's a BBQ joint and brew house, but they have some veggie items. >10 beers on tap, with 5 oz pours of everything available. What is most impressive with is that the owners pay everyone a living wage, 😎 so they advertise that tipping is optional. A fantastic place to support. 👊🏽

Bow River Brewing, 5769 4 St SE #110

Open: Mon 11.30 -18.00 Tues - Wed 15.000 - 20.00 Thurs - Sat 11.30 - 20.00

A cool little brewery, were the staff are really nice and they open pretty early? A very pleasant atmosphere, with a good selection of beer. Lots of beer options for flight combinations. A large warehouse where the tasting room isn't separated but quite open to the whole process. Quite an industrial feel, but comfortable. 8 or so beers on tap with flights of 4 A good locals spot.

Marda Loop Brewing Company Inc. 3523 18 Street SW

Open: Tues - Sat 11.30 - 22.00

This is a neighbourhood brew pub. They have a great patio that is so toasty warm and dog-friendly. A great community vibe everywhere you turn, from the beer names to the decor and the maps in the restrooms. Marda Loop Community Association discount just means more beer! Located quite far away from any other brewery, tucked away in a nice upper class residential neighbourhood. They have 5 core beers plus 3 rotating. Flights of 5 available. Very friendly and charming service. Overall good house beers that pair with charcuterie and modern pub snacks in a relaxed, industrial-style bar and brewery.🤠

Minhas Pizza Brew - Calgary, 1314 44 Ave NE

Open: Mon - Sat 11.00 - 20.00

“Minhas Pizza Brew” experience is excellent! Food prices are great with 50% off pizza🍕 prices on Sundays and “all you can eat” for $20 on most Saturdays. Located on the middle of an industrial park, you enter what looks like a cafeteria, but off to the side is a welcoming brew pub. The decor is a cross between school cafeteria and a utilitarian pizzeria? Staff are excellent and friendly.

Rapid Ascent Brewery, 10985 38 St NE #109

Open: Thurs - Fri 13.00 - 19.00 Sat - Sun 12.00 - 18.30

In a city with so many good micro-breweries and tap houses, this is a great edition to Calgary. Located in an industrial area this place doesn't really get much traffic. The friendly and knowledgeable team go out of their way to ensure that you feel welcome and part of their family. Amazing product, incredible design and art work, make a stop here a must for team events or just a fun Saturday activity! Great comfortable seating and free fuss-ball table, that and 10 on-tap beers to try. Growler fills are only $10 on Sundays which is a great deal. Otto says try the Finnigan’s Irish Black Ale 👍🏻

Heathen's Brewing Inc. 3300 14 Ave NE Unit 7

Open: Fri- Sat 15.00 - 19.00

This is an awesome addition to Calgary’s brewery scene. Heathens makes the best gluten free beer you will have! They have a nice taproom in a working brewery and offer flights of beer. Even if you are not gluten intolerant you will still find there beer is world class! They have a large variety from sours to stouts. The staff are super friendly and are offering a great product.

Vagabond Calgary, 1129 Olympic Way SE

Open: Daily 11.00 - 20.00

Located within walking distance of the Saddledome, basically kitty corner to the NE parking lot. Good food and a good range of beers plus staff knowledgeable enough to make solid recommendations. A modern industrial vibe inside that is quite sparse and cold feeling. If you are looking for a quick place prior to a game or want to watch the game at a bar, look no further.

Elite Brewing & Cidery, 1319 Edmonton Trail

Open: Daily 11.30 - 23.00 or later?

A military theme with two large, dog friendly patios. The bar and some tables had a frost strip in the middle to keep your beer cold. A little gimmicky, but I hate to admit a little cool at the same time. A great selection of drinks and food. Bonus points for vegetarian food! Such a great atmosphere and food was awesome. Servers are very friendly too, plus they have board games you can play while eating/drinking. Only downside is their menu online is very hard to read and navigate. Website is not mobile friendly.

Uncommon Cider Co. 3921 Manchester Rd SE

Open: Tues - Sun 14.00 - 19.00

An interesting cider spot who also does things with the community (community cider option). Located close to the 39 St C train station, in an industrial sector, this taproom is cool, very tropical looks, pink and yellow and gives off the neon 80s-90s vibe. Only 4 tables but a fairly big patio outside. Plenty of parking around. The staff are also super friendly. Each cider does present itself with very unique taste. Flights run to $14 a good way to try the different options. Takeaway cider is available as well.

Sunny Cider, 3300 14 Ave NE Unit 1

Open: Wed - Sat

Located quite a ways outside the city centre in the northeast part of town, this little cider taproom is located in an industrial lot, pretty much adjacent to Heathen’s gluten free brewery. Pleasant interior, sleekly designed. They have about 10 ciders on tap, most with some sort of fruit / adjunct in them, mostly dry. The owner seems to know his stuff about cider. Owner / brewer is super friendly and chatty. If you can get out here, it’s worth a visit, especially if you do The Alice in Wonder Experience as well? At the start of the experience you can order a Sunny cider beverage but after that you’ll be good with the drinks provided by the Alice Experience. I won’t ruin the experience for you but I’ll just say most of the fun is with the actors as they do a great job of entertaining. (Do tip them at the end). It’s a fun place to get photos and feel free to dress the part! Why not? You’re part of the tea party after all. Enjoy!
