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.

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.

87 STEPS

TART NEIPA WITH PINEAPPLE & GUAVA

87 Steps is a luscious, full-bodied NEIPA that is laden with guava and pineapple, with a nice tart finish that keeps all that tropical craziness in check. This beer (brewed for YYC Neighbour Day 2020) is made to be shared; with the couple over the fence you’ve only said hello to; with the new family that just moved in; with your friends a few blocks over who are now like family. 87 Steps is the distance between Born Colorado Brewing and Cabin, in Calgary’s Manchester brewing area. We are neighbours. We are friends. We share a love of community and making great beer.

STYLE: Tart NEIPA with Fruit

LITTLE RED WAGON

TART CHERRY PIE ALE

Remember when things were built to last? When you knew it was home time by the length of the shadows? When dessert was made with loving hands right there in your kitchen, and smelled and tasted better than anything else? We’ve rolled out an homage to good times and good taste in our Little Red Wagon. Tart red cherries give the beer a most gorgeous violet glow, while delicate additions of cooking spices and a mountain of Golden Naked Oats have you swearing you’re smelling fresh-baked pie. Tart acidity at the end of every mouthfeel balances the rich pie flavours and keeps your taste buds fresh and longing for more. Spring is here. It’s time to get on the wagon.

STYLE: Fruited Sour
