Calgary Brewery Map

Calgary Craft Beer Awards and Brewery Map. 

Current February 2023.

Calgary is home to many of Canada's award-winning craft breweries, including the 2020 and 2021 Canadian Breweries of the Year, several national Gold, Silver and Bronze Medal winners as voted by the CBAC and the Canada Beer Cup, and multiple Alberta Brewery Award winners. With several "Brewery Districts" across the city, Calgary Brewery Tours are always moving around in the "Barley Belt", Inglewood, the Beltline and the Brewmuda Triangle to make sure we stop for the newest and best beers on tap in Calgary.  With more than 40 Breweries as of 2022 (as seen in this YYC beer map), any craft beer fan would easily see comparison to Beer Meccas like Portland, Or, and Asheville, N.C.

Check out our up-to-date map below for a current list of breweries you can visit for the best beer in Calgary. Please note, many of these breweries have won so many medals there isn't enough room to list them all.

As of early 2023, this is one of Calgary's best kept secrets. Great beer, a very cool room that pays homage to Canadian military, and some great tunes (rock/indie rock). Get down to Tailgunner before they get so busy you have to wait in line.

OUR NOTES
Owners Ian and Beatrice and their team are some of our favourite people to visit. This sparkling clean brewery built in 2019 hosts about 10 perfectly balanced beers on tap and is always adding something to the rotation that is not expected, like Abbey Ales. YUM! Any brewery that wins a Canadian Gold Medal is worth a visit. This venue is a must try for beer snobs looking for perfection.

OUR NOTES
These guys are a real hoot. Even though they were purchased by a large domestic beer company, they continue to pump out beers that made them famous. 2023 also saw a large expansion to their brewery to meet the demand of heavy distribution. Cool industrial vibe in the taproom that makes you feel like you are standing in the middle of the brewery itself.

The Ape Index seems to win every competition it enters. So if you are in the mood for barley wine, OT is your spot. While there, try the 5 Hundie. It is one of the best juice bomb hazy IPA's going.
