#1 NEIGHBOUR

PAPAYA KETTLE SOUR

Hi-diddly-ho frienderinos! There is nothing better than great neighbours, right?

In celebration of YYC Neighbour Day 2021, Cabin Brewing Company and Born Colorado Brewing collaborated on TWO special Neighbour Day beers that are designed to be mixed and matched with each other.

We both started with a summer-crushing kettle sour base, sprinkled a little lactose for sweetness, then bombarded it with fruit. Born Colorado’s version has blood orange and grapefruit, while Cabin’s version has boatloads of papaya. On their own they are delicious – when blended and drank as a pair, they are next-level awesome!

MISHTI

TAMARIND & MANGO SOUR

Where old meets new and east meets west, beer meets food and the result is the best!

Is there a more exciting restaurant in all of Calgary than Calcutta Cricket Club? Those bright, bold flavours, modern Kolkata classics done in tasteful elegance - a night out here is like a night in heaven.

To help celebrate their birthday, we crafted a beer to match their unique and exciting flavours. That beer is Mishti, a mango and tamarind sour that’s tart and lively and all sorts of amazing. The name is a Bengali word for sweet - but use it as a term of celebration (mishtiiiii!) and you’ll fit right in.

Get yourself a kati roll in one hand and a beer in the other. Mishtiiii!

FALLING SKIES

DARK FRUiTED SOUR

It can feel like a dark, dark world sometimes, but rest assured - there are beacons to light the way. Summer is around the corner. Vaccines are at hand. We may have forgotten how to speak face-to-face, but we haven’t lost the ability to love and be kind.

At first glance Falling Skies Dark Sour (5%) seems like a beer for dark days. But the deep brown colour comes from Sinamar liquid malt extract, which provides colour without the roasty notes you’d expect from a dark beer.

And the light at the end of the tunnel? Boatloads of tart cherries and apricots that provide vibrant bursts of tangy fruit flavour and baking spice notes. It’s a delightfully juicy flavour explosion to light you up from the inside.

STAYCATION

FRUITED BERLINER WEISSE WITH LACTOSE

Cancel all plans. Keep two metres. Don’t speak moistly. Order in food. Do touch this. Don’t touch that. Support your local business. Be kind. Say hi to your neighbours. Bake bread. Ride your bike. Love your dog. Read to your kids. Feel the sun on your face. Dream big dreams. Be thankful. Social distancing is tough work - you definitely need a Staycation.
.
Staycation Fruited Berliner Weisse with Lactose is pandemic life in springtime in a glass. It is part sweet, part sour and there is so much vibrancy right before your eyes, like the stay-at-home life you’ve been ignoring all this time, without realizing just how awesome it is. With tart cherry, raspberry, red currant, black currant, blueberry and blackberry blending in a jam-like melange, there is a lot to be thankful for and enjoy. While safely nestled at home.

SUMMER SATURATION

TROPICAL NEPA

After six months of winter, your body is ready for a hit of summer. Right? We’ve used the latest brewing technology (patent pending) to capture endless amounts of sunshine, warmth and happiness and carefully infuse it into our packaged beer. We’ve poured lashings of tropical fruit – guava, mango and pineapple – into a luscious, juicy New England Pale Ale base. It’s sprinkled liberally with Ekuanot, Citra and Simcoe hops to create a wildly aromatic golden elixir that goes straight to your veins and into your brain, wrapping your entire being in a golden glow that’ll burn off the doldrums of these cold, dark days. Why wait until June? Take a dose of summer now and get a headstart on the summer season.

LITE BRITE

MUNICH HELLES

Our first lager! Helles translates from German as “light” “pale” or “bright”. The style is immensely refreshing, easy to drink and looks glorious in the glass. Expect soft bready notes from the pilsner malt, some sweet malt complexity and restrained bitterness from light additions of Czech Kazbar hops, a relative of the noble Saaz hop.

STYLE: Lager

ULTRAVIOLET

BLUEBERRY COBBLER ALE

Fresh-baked cobbler - does anything smell better? We’ve captured the essence of walking into the kitchen on bake day with this ridiculously crushable and ludicrously aromatic fruit beer.

Wafting aromas of baked pie crust, vanilla and cinnamon emerge from the glass, which is filled by a beer of the most vibrant shade of violet thanks to an absurd dose of blueberry puree.

Don’t worry beer purists - this beer finishes dry and clean, with a lingering malt complexity. A fruit beer that actually tastes like beer

STYLE: Fruit Beer

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Freshly-baked blueberry pie
