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!

#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

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Pie in a glass

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.

STYLE: Kettle Sour

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Roasty & Dry

LEITMOTIF

GOSE

You notice it every time you’ve drink our goses, like Cool As and In The Hallway With The Axe. It’s always there, that familiar sour and salty leitmotif for your mouth that lets you know this is a Cabin beer.

Now it’s time for the background notes to shine. Leitmotif Gose is a classic play on the German city of Goslar’s most famous claim to fame - the classic gose beer style. It is tart and salty, with a full wheat body and crisp lemony acidity. It’s perfect for quaffing as a refreshment, but is engineered specifically to add flavoured syrup to - raspberry and mint, smoked peach, mango and habanero, cherry and cinnamon - the choice is yours! Get creative and make the flavoured gose you’ve always dreamed of drinking.

STYLE: Gose

FOUR ALIVE

TROPICAL FRUIT SOUR

When your get up and go has got up and gone… turn yourself back on with Four Alive! Four Alive is a sour fruit and malt beverage, with pure juice from four delicious fruits - passionfruit, guava, mango and pineapple. So much fruit makes it one refreshing drink! With a wholesome amount of tartness to keep those taste buds tantalized, you’ll want to take four - a four-pack that is. It’s only here for a short time, so get it while it’s freshly squeezed.

STYLE: Fruited Sour
