Sheepdog Brewing

Great beer and great atmosphere!

Great selection of beers and fun atmosphere! A few small snack items but didn’t have any. A good amount of seating. Would recommend the sampler flight.

Love this little jewel on Banff Ave. This little taproom has an upbeat, welcoming vibe as well as a great selection of beers. They sell craft sodas as well if beers aren’t your thing. They allow outside food, and if you wanted you could order a tasty pizza from Aardvark Pizza next door. Staff member Ellen is knowledgeable, delightful and friendly so if you’re not sure what to try, she will guide you in the correct direction every time. Clientele is a mix of friendly locals and people from all over the planet. It’s definitely worth the visit. Oh, and while you’re there pick up a few to enjoy at home!

The Sheepdog Brewery,
Possibly the best taproom service I have ever received.
I walked in and sat down, and the staff came over and told me it was bar service not table service. They were friendly about it and I appreciated the way I was approached.
I had a few questions because I am kind of picky about the beer I drink, I was offered a taste of a couple that they thought fit my taste needs. They were bang on I was so happy I bought some beer, a glass and a hat LOL.
I recommend stopping in to visit the tap room, call ahead and see if your visit corresponds with a day your pup will be welcome.

I can't believe I've never rated this fine establishment before. Lots of great seating inside, outside, and up stairs etc. Very cozy and always a great variety of beers on tap. It's pet friendly and despite often a number of dogs around they are all remarkably well behaved. Great place for apres after work or coming back from hiking or biking. Also, cocktails are just at the other end of the building and there's a glass artisan nearby to check out.

Good value on the snack selections too. Unfortunately last time the, admittedly awesome looking, pretzels were rather stale. I'm not going to dock a point for it or anything but really they should be either same day or heated from frozen because pretzels are notoriously hard to keep fresh.

Great beer service and atmosphere!

Good vibes here. Dogs welcome, kids welcome. Possibly the best decor I've ever seen in a bathroom (IYKYK). Very good beers and awesome folks that make you feel at home. Snacks were a nice touch too. Thanks for having us!

Tucked into Canmore’s industrial area, Sheepdog Brewing offers a rotating selection of small‑batch beers in a relaxed, garage‑style taproom that opens onto a sunny patio. Dog‑friendly and ideal for unwinding after outdoor adventures, it’s a low‑key local favourite.

I had scouted this place out on Instagram about a month before visiting Canmore and let me just say… it more than lived up to the hype. Incredible brews with epic views. Highly recommend.

Absolutely incredible. It's a real place to get a real beer with some real people. 10/10

Delicious drinks, with Mountain views and the best bathroom ever! 10/10 recommend!

The beer is always great and nice and cold. Love seeing all the dogs hanging out too

A great place for beer, although I’m a bit disappointed in the west coast IPA, it comes across as a hazy and not a west coast IPA.. I don’t like anything hazy, the first few sips of any hazy taste great.. but after that it’s a chore to drink.. the IPA used to be better, but if you like hazy beer you are going to enjoy this, lots of other tasty beers I should have ordered, I’d still recommend this place, it’s got good beers.

Love this place, always good beer and friendly staff … will be back again … and again and again….

My weirdo buddy had his birthday party there it was kind of fun and the brewery is pretty slick 10/5 stars would recommend
