Located in Calgary’s craft-beer-packed “Barley Belt,” The Establishment is the perfect blend of award-winning brews, cozy taproom vibes, and a spacious patio—and yep, Molly gives it a big paw of approval for dog-friendly patio time! 🐾
These folks aren’t messing around: they were crowned Canadian Brewery of the Year in 2021 at the Canadian Brewing Awards and have been named Alberta Brewery of the Year multiple times, most recently in 2023 and again in 2024. It’s rare to find a brewery that nails both traditional European lagers and adventurous barrel-aged wilds.
Whether you're working your way through their 16+ rotating taps or indulging in a cellar showpiece, you’ll want to come back for every new release.
Would I go back again?
👍 absolutely!
