SURE FOOTED

SEA BUCKTHORN AND ORANGE ZEST GOSE

Say hello to Sure Footed Sea Buckthorn and Orange Zest Gose, brewed to celebrate International Women’s Day 2022. Cabin’s female staff picked the style, ingredients and name and then came together to turn raw ingredients to beer on brew day – and they did good!

The beer is sour and tangy with notes of coriander, orange, sea salt, pink grapefruit and honey. The choice of main ingredient is very deliberate. Sea buckthorn is incredibly hardy, withstanding almost anything nature can throw at it, all the while producing the most amazing fruit. Sure footed? It sure is, just like the women in this industry who are working harder than anyone else – showing tenacity and perseverance every day - to crush stereotypes about what the craft beer industry looks like.

AMAAAAAZING

LEMON MERINGUE PIE ALE

When Calgary brewer Paul Heslop won Yeast Wrangler of the Year at the Cowtown Yeast Wranglers home brew club's annual competition, the first prize was to brew a beer with Cabin. Hooray!

We’ve known Paul for many years and know that he has an insanely good palate for delicious beer. When he suggested making a lemon meringue pie ale, we couldn’t say no - his home brewed version was simply outstanding. When you drink this 5.2% beer you’ll swear you're biting into a slice of pie. It’s tart, sweet and lemony with a long-lingering taste of freshly baked pie crust. In Paul’s own immortal words (said with a British accent of course...) it’s amaaaaazing!

STRATOSPHERE

DOUBLE WEST COAST IPA

Our expedition to the far reaches of the hop world continues, with a bold new IPA that is firmly rooted in the past.

We teamed up with Ontario brewery Collective Arts head brewer Ryan Morrow to create some hop artistry in the form of Stratosphere West Coast DIPA. We dusted off some old school hops we know and love – Warrior, Columbus, Simcoe and Centennial – and weaved in Strata hops to create a mesmerizing bright citrus character with tropical fruit backing notes and an underlying dankness that really brings the aromas alive.

This beer is out of this world. It’s insanely aromatic, dry, and has a long-lasting resinous bitterness to remind you of the good old days when an IPA was an IPA.

STYLE: West Coast Double IPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Resin and pine

HOPS: Warrior, Simcoe, Centennial, Columbus, Talus,

TROPOSPHERE

WEST COAST IPA

Hello world. Aren’t you smelling lovely today?

When you think of all the permutations of blends of aromas that exist in the troposphere we call home, the mind boggles.

We’ve concocted what we think is pretty close to heaven on earth. Troposphere West Coast IPA is a classic hop bomb, with a stupendously delicious modern twist. We chose two new hop varieties - Talus & HBC 586 - to show what’s possible when old school IPAs get a dose of something epic.

Prepare yourself to be assaulted with notes of mango, papaya and sweet orange, with underlying herbal notes and lingering pine resin. It’s dry, with just enough malt sweetness to balance the hop kick. It’s wildly aromatic, right to the last drop. Introduce some to your own troposphere, and smell the difference!

STYLE: West Coast IPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: NE Aroma, WC Flavour

GREAT SOUTHERN LAND

AUSTRALIAN PILSNER

Galaxy is the shining star of Aussie’s stellar hop lineup, with bright tropical fruit notes of passionfruit, citrus and peach. If Galaxy hops grew in your backyard, you’d throw them at everything too. It’s one of our personal faves. Our Australian pilsner, hopped exclusively with Galaxy, is made for drinking in the sun. Light. Bright. Crisp. Refreshing. Delicate. And an aroma that keeps on going, like the vast expanse of Australia’s land and sea. Get this one down ya, mate. It’s a beauty.

STYLE: Hopped Pilsner

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Crisp and tropical

ZEN GARDEN

JAPANESE RICE LAGER

For our second lager we wanted to make something different. Something light and crisp, yet floral and intriguing. A glorious lager to welcome in the brighter, lighter days. Something that epitomizes zen-like calm. Zen Garden uses 100% pilsner malt from Alberta’s Origin Malting with fragrant jasmine rice added for complexity and flavour. It’s the palest of straw in colour, with slightly floral and light bready aromas. It has a crisp, clean flavour with some nuttiness on the finish from the rice. It finishes dry and crisp.

STYLE: Lager

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Crisp and refined

HOPS: Kazbek

CITY OF DREAMS

VIENNA LAGER

Welcome to the City of Dreams, where anything is possible. Our latest foray in the world of lagers takes us to Vienna, where the air is filled with pure music and Freud’s work on dream analysis changed the path of psychoanalysis forever.

City of Dreams has a light copper colour and stacked with toasty malt notes, like a freshly popped slice of perfectly cooked toast. There are some subtle caramel flavours and a pleasant spiced hop nose from the noble Styrian Golding hops. It’s crisp and perfectly balanced with some lingering malt sweetness.

 Drinking City of Dreams is like unearthing a repressed beer desire you never knew was there. Close your eyes and let all your liquid dreams come to life.

STYLE: VIENNA LAGER

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Toasty, crisp and malty

HOPS: Styrian Golding

RUNAWAY

DOUBLE IPA

You’ve got to get away sometimes. Switch off your phone. Head for the hills. Breathe in freedom. Reconnect with those you love.

We’ve joined forces with Wild Rose Brewery – a group of friends who are very near and dear to us – to create our version of a “Cabin” in the “Wild” where we can pause, rewind and reflect on what we do and why we do it.

The beer is a big, bold West Coast-style hop monster with a balanced bitter bite. Think oranges, grapefruit, light stonefruit and a whiff of pine resin. This beer has heart and soul and all sorts of delicious aromas and flavours that keep on keeping on until the last drop.

It’s one to linger over with friends. It’s one to celebrate. It’s Runaway time.

STYLE: Double IPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Classic West Coast IPA
