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.

EQUINOX

POMEGRANATE CHERRY SOUR

Equinox tastes like the changing of the days. It pours the most gentle orange-pink hue, like a clear fall sunset. The pomegranate-cherry one-two punch lends a melange of plump ripe fruitiness, with very light underlying cooking spice notes and a woody, winey aroma - akin to a delicate rose wine.

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

HOPS: Galaxy

ABV: 4.8%

THE DREAMING

AUSTRALIAN HAZY IPA

Close your eyes and dream of a land so vast and great and rich in culture you can lose yourself in it for weeks at a time. The Dreamtime is the foundation of Aboriginal religion and culture in Australia. It is the story of events that have happened, how the universe came to be, how human beings were created and how their Creator intended for humans to function within the world as they knew it. For our Australian-hopped hazy IPA, The Dreaming, we leaned into the ethereal qualities of this mystical land. Galaxy, Enigma and Vic Secret hops have been layered in tropical abundance, behind a smooth and full-bodied malt base. Unlike most hazy beers, we used no wheat and oats - just 2-row malt, flaked barley and victory malt. And it’s just how it was meant to be.

STYLE: NEIPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: A tropical hopnado

HOPS: Galaxy, Vic Secret, Enigma

ABV: 6.7%

TRIPLE THREAT

HAZY IPA

We’ve thrown three amazing hops - Sabro, Galaxy and Nelson Sauvin - into one amazing beer. Triple Threat Hazy IPA is the result of someone asking the three Cabin founders during an online QnA what their favourite hop varietal was. The three hops we came up with sounded so dang good as a combo, we couldn’t NOT make a beer with them! This is our biggest, smoothest, most aromatic hazy yet - and at 8.5%, it fits the bill as a true hop monster.

STYLE: NEIPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Tastes like favouritism

HOPS: Sabro, Galaxy, Nelson Sauvin

ABV: 8.5%

IBU: 60

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

NOCTURNE

DUNKELWEIZEN

Listen to cicadas. Watch the sun set. Breath more slowly. Read a good novel. Gaze at the stars. Let gentle music wrap around you. Embrace your lover. As the world around you slowly goes to sleep, reflect on a day well done and raise a toast to yourself.
.
Nocturne Dunkelweizen – the darker sister of our Rise & Shine Hefeweizen – is like liquid banana bread. Experimental hop HBC-472 and its gentle oak notes complement the banana aromas from the German yeast strain and the light chocolate notes from the malt. This dark wheat beer is full-bodied and fluffy from the ample additions of wheat. It’s a glorious shade of light mahogany, like the early evening light. Close your eyes and enjoy our Nocturne. This day is yours.
