Alberta Beer Festival Season Is Upon Us!

Yes, the snow is melting, the birds are singing, and Alberta Beer Festivals are coming up on the calender! I have attended and worked several Alberta Beer Festivals and I have seen first hand how they've grown and become more awesome every year! If you've never been, I can assure you that these festivals are not giant beer bashes attended only by frat guys looking to get drunk. Rather, these are a fun and exciting celebration of beer attended by all kinds of people! You don't only get to sample from over 500 different beers but can also attend short seminars on beer and meet the brewers themselves!

Calgary's International Beerfest is coming up in just over a month and Edmonton's Craft Beer Festival is in June. Tickets are on sale and can be purchases on their website here

New Brewery Opening Up in the Yukon this Spring

For a long time, Yukon Brewing has been the only game in town in Whitehorse, however, now there's a brand new nano-brewery popping up called Winterlong. The owners, who are a husband/wife team, are planning on brewing less than 350L a week at the moment and selling it evenings and weekends while keeping their day jobs. They have been homebrewing for over 8 years and have now decided to try their hand at brewing professionally.

Here's the link from CBC:

Well, our beer celebrating International Women's Day is made and ready to go starting tomorrow, March 5th at 5pm at Just Jacks in Olds, Alberta! We will also have it for sale at the Olds College Brewery in bottles and in growlers. I will update when and where this will be available in Edmonton and Calgary as soon as I know.
