26 Best Craft Breweries in Calgary

“A friendly welcome as soon as I walked through the door. The staff were amazing. As this was my first time they walked me through everything including the history behind the brewery. I’m so happy I stumbled upon this place, and it’s so close to home. Come give it a try. Thanks to the staff, great job.“

“Happy Belly Kombucha has truly changed the kombucha game! As someone who had stayed away from kombucha after trying it at a different brewery, my experience with Happy Belly was truly refreshing. They have incredible owners who are passionate about the product, a wide variety of amazing flavours, delicious kombucha, and an incredible sense of community. Thank you Happy Belly Kombucha! I’ll definitely be back :)“

“My wife and I came in for a late lunch and we were very pleasantly surprised!!
We sat in the back room which had lots of picnic tables and tall tables and chairs. The atmosphere was warm and friendly.
I am off of alcohol for the month so the server offered their FlatTop Zero Stout! It is fabulous !!!!
The food was outstanding !!! We had pulled pork, Mac&Cheese, and tacos with pulled pork.
I highly recommend coming here for great food, excellent beer, and fun and knowledgeable serving staff!“

“As a newcomer here,It is the first time for me to explore Calgary’s craft beer scene! The integration of the brewing space and taproom is fantastic, and the vibe of chatting under the beer barrels is great!

I started with a tasting set and discovered today’s highlight: a hazy pale ale called *Afternoon Delight*. It’s bursting with fruity aromas—absolutely amazing!“

“As a teen growing up in the 80s, this place is awesome!! I have visited Calgary multiple times in the last three years and found this to be a go to! Christmas boasts a Home Alone theme that makes the stay exceptionally fun. Nero’s Pizza is amazing - Magnum Pie is our go to with the pepperoni as a new fav. Cool vibe and always outstanding staff make this worth your time. Family friendly as well!“

“Fabulous atmosphere and great people“

“A top tier option in Calgary if you are looking for a place to grab a drink and some good eats.
The taproom itself is very inviting and conceptualized very well.
The beer is well crafted with high quality ingredients and it comes through with every sip. They have a nice variety, so there will be something for anyone and everyone.
I was blown away by the pizza...it easily made my list of some of the best Calgary has to offer. The crust is something special.
Tailgunner is a place I will gladly recommend to anyone and one that I will return to many more times.“

“I never knew or heard about this beer. I was at the Costco liquor store, and here they have a variety pack of banded Peak, and it looked good. Wow!!! Your beer is amazing! Now I know you have a pub too. I'll be coming over sometime to try it out. Thank you for the great beer. I hope Costco still sells the variety packs. ?“

“I just had the boiling oar pale ale at craft beer market in Edmonton. Really smooth beer and easy to drink. I decided to have a few more!“

“Great food and drinks and great patio“

“Awesome Find Great Food !“

“We absolutely love “Electric Reaper” We were introduced to it at an event at our community center (which I believe was sponsored by New Level at least in some part) and we loved it ever since. Its great when local companies support family friendly events, especially when their product is top notch! We look forward to visiting the tap room!“

“Zero Issue has great beer.

It's a brewery in an industrial area so not a lot of atmosphere or ambiance, but the staff knows their beer and there are many great choices. I'll be back because I'm here for the beer.“

“Great place for a small gathering or an event.“

“Brought my dad here while he was in town to try some excellent local food and was not disappointed! Fish and chips were fantastic and the poutine was a particular highlight. Service was so friendly and welcoming too, our server made us feel right at home. Love this place!“

“Great beers and service! Beautiful renovations.“

“A shout out to Cold Garden from my cat Mina who recently won 2nd place in the Pet Costume Contest at the Inglewood Community Association Halloween Party. Mina received a very nice prize basket full of large-size, Cold Garden doggie items. Mina is not sure what she’s going to do with her win. Perhaps, Cold Garden will take it back in trade for beer… ??“

“Dandy brewing has great pizza and offers by the slice options. I tried the Hawaiian and it was awesome. The crust was baked to perfection, the pineapple was sweet and the ham savoury. The slice had a great flop as well. The light dandy beer was refreshing, I’d get it anytime.“

“Micro brew with good bbq. What’s not to like? Local gem.“
