Craft Beer Nation

Celebration Nation is officially on the growler bar! Crafted in collaboration to celebrate our first birthday with our friends at Troubled Monk, this Cascadian Dark Ale is ready to party 🍻The aroma from the hops is an intense and tantalizing combination of sweet, spicy, pine, bubblegum, and tropical fruit. Roasted malt and chocolate flavours play with the hops and re-emerge as a malt sweetness while a lingering bitterness rests in the back of the throat. Added bonus? A donation will be made from all fills from this keg to the Royal Canadian Legion #reddeer #celebrate #craftbeer #growlerbar

NEW this week 🍻

Let the festivities begin!

We are proud to present the inaugural Craft Beer Nation Advent Calendar! You will get 25 carefully selected beer (including bombers and tall cans) in a variety of styles. We will include everything from local small batch beer to seasonals and international options. The icing on the cake? You also get the handcrafted, locally made tree by Red Deer’s own Tandem Finishing. Pre-sales start TODAY and run until November 21. Pick ups start November 26. Cost is $145 + GST, $135 + GST for beer club members 🍻🎄#reddeer #craftbeeradventcalendar #shoplocal

Here is just a sample of the killer door prizes we will be giving away this weekend 🍻 a big thank you to all of the breweries that helped us out, you guys rock 👊🏻 stop in on Friday or Saturday and get your name in the draw!

We got a special delivery that we know A LOT of people have been looking forward to! Check it out - NEW (and a little something for everyone) from Sawback Brewing! It’s officially a good day 🍻

Join us this weekend to celebrate our first birthday! Friday and Saturday we will be rocking tons of door prizes, beer inspired cupcakes, double stamps on loyalty cards and brewers on site both days doing tastings! We are also super pumped to release our limited run birthday beer - Celebration Nation! Watch for more details throughout the week but in the meantime share this post or tag who you want to come shopping with you in the comments to be entered into a prize draw!

A little light reading with a little dark lager drinking? Yes please! The Township 24 Meridian Black lager is up on the growler bar and it’s the perfect beer for a transitioning season. While the roast flavor is more apparent in this dark lager than others, it is still not the intense roast, burnt, or acrid flavor that you often find in stouts and some porters. Come give it a try today and get 10% off your fill #sundayfunday #growlerfills #craftnotcrap

The growler bar is refreshed and ready for you 🍻

You know it’s a serious week for new beer when you have to stack them up 🍻 of special note, new options from Four Winds, Alley Kat, Tool Shed and Annex Ales!

‪Red Deer favourite Folding Mountain Brewing has braved the snow and ice to come do a tasting today (Friday) at the store from 3pm - 6pm. Come say hi to the one and only Aric! ‬
