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!

#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!

CLOUDBURST

TART LEMON AND BLUEBERRY ALE

No one can deny it’s been a challenging year. The global pandemic burst upon us like a sudden downpour a year ago, and it’s barely let up since.

Cloudburst Tart Blueberry and Lemon Ale is released to celebrate International Women’s Day 2021. While COVID restrictions meant we couldn't bring the women of Cabin together to brew the beer, they decided the style, flavour profile and name and put our brew team to work. Cloudburst uses a hop blend provided as part of the Pink Boot Society initiative, which strives to improve gender diversity in the brewing industry. A portion of Cloudburst sales will go to the Pink Boots Society.

The sweet fruitiness of the blueberries and vanilla in this easy-drinking sour are balanced with the underlying acidity of lemons, while lactose adds creaminess. Think of it as a pie in a pint glass 🥧.

This year’s IWD theme is Choose to Challenge and we invite you to raise a glass of Cloudburst high to show you’re in. From challenge comes change - and we’ll cheers to that.

STYLE: Fruited Sour
