10 Best Breweries in Cochrane

"Come to Last Best with a mixed group of friends for a sit-down meal paired with sippable, hearty beers. The ample space in the Beltline brew pub features a 360-degree bar surrounded by dining booths, a semi-covered patio (with fireplace!) and a basement nook serving up cocktails next to an active barbershop. Last Best’s “here to stay” taps are usually rich and heavy perennial favourites like the Show Pony ale and Dirty Bird black lager, while the “here to play” roster trends lighter and more flirtatious."

"Cold Garden is the perfect place to introduce someone to Calgary’s brewing scene. Its gleefully kitschy interior has a scrappy charm that makes it instantly memorable: mismatched vintage furniture and a giant pineapple-cum-disco ball let you know right away that the beer crafted here is just as quirky and unapologetic. The tap menu is among the biggest on the scene, and both dogs and outside food are welcome."

"A post shared by Cold Garden Beverage Company (@cold_garden). Grill season is in full swing and to celebrate, Cold Garden is serving up the closest thing to a grilled beverage in its new Trop Dog Smoked New England IPA. The cherrywood-smoked, double dry-hopped NEIPA has notes of pineapple, mango, citrus, and coconut, which pairs perfectly with a pico de gallo taco from Mikey’s Taco Shop."

"The Cold Garden tours and tastings remain virtual for now, but include four beers to taste, a 20oz. branded cup, a live tour of the brew space, a guided tasting, and delivery- you might receive some additional surprise swag, too!. Your tour will get right into how Cold Garden came to eb, and how their beers come to be by learning all the details of how they’re made."

"A post shared by Citizen Brewing Company (@citizenbrewingcompany). If you don’t want to wait for July 9 to start your Stampeding, the Citizen Brewing patio provides the perfect beer garden vibes to soak up the sun with a selection of summer brews like the apricot and nectarine-forward Space Juice. Citizen also serves a plentiful menu of classic patio fare with options that range from burgers and hot dogs to Hawaiian pork ribs and ice cream sandwiches."

"Almost hidden off of Edmonton Trail, Citizen Brewing Company has a built a solid reputation amongst Calgarians (and Albertans). Their mission “to make beers that they themselves want to drink and that they are intensely proud of,” is a proven success. Don’t forget to try the Hijacked IPA, the name commemorating the time that their food truck was literally stolen, or the Belma and Louise, a NEPA packed with a ton of Belma hops."

"A recent visit to Citizen Brewery confirms sitting outside is like a little oasis with the heaters blasting and the cold beer flowing. Head Chef Brian Diamond has added a few new items to the menu with daily specials but we think the Citizen Burger for $8.00 is one of the best deals around."

"Tucked behind a Vietnamese restaurant in a parking lot off of 9th Avenue S.E., High Line is the hideaway that bridges the divide between the beer weirdos and the straight crowd. The discreet 32-seat space (with an additional 14 on the patio) might overflow with an experimental music showcase or larger-than-life drag show on certain nights, but its core vibe is all effortless neighbourhood-bar je ne sais quoi. The swagger is innate, never forced, in keeping with creative brews that have the quality to avoid becoming a novelty."

"Stop by the new extended patio at Highline to try their authentic Calgary beers and more. On top of the craft beer selection, High Line also offer signature cocktails, bar snacks, and wine. Keep your eye on their rotating small-batch taps for something new each season!"

"A post shared by Alberta Brewery Tours (@albertabrewerytours_) on May 22, 2019 at 4:05pm PDT. This Inglewood brewery has a killer outdoor patio tucked out of sight from the busy street. Enjoy a beer and soak up the sun at this spot."

"Having recently doubled its outdoor seating capacity, the Cabin Brewing patio is a great place to find shade from the exceptionally hot days Calgary has been having, while still enjoying summery beers like the #1 Neighbour Fruited Sour with papaya. In keeping with the tropical theme, Cabin also offers a special guava ice cream from Made by Marcus, along with South Island meat pies and more."

"The Cabin Brewing Company embodies the feeling of an ultimate escape. It is a home away from home, a respite from the stresses of work and the regularity of everyday life. Here, they offer a space for customers to be themselves."

"The Establishment was essentially born of the 2013 southern Alberta floods and the destruction brought about by them. After their brew lab was gutted by the flood, the people at Establishment started from scratch to build a brand-new lab to bring you their great local beers once again. They now offer 14 beers on tap that you can enjoy on their central-Calgary patio."

"Let us preface this by saying we absolutely have a favourite here and it’s the Serenity doughnut. With cinnamon cheese and candied walnuts, Beebop has created magic, but it doesn’t stop there. Though this is our go-to, they have something for everyone else – whether you crave chocolate, berries, coffee or hazelnut flavoured goodies, Beebop has got you."

"One of the latest additions to Calgary’s doughnut scene, Beebop brings tasty doughnuts and “boppers” (the shop’s take on Timbits) to the Mission area. Flavour options include buttercream and cheese, peanut butter and raspberry, cherries and chocolate, purple yam and more. Pick some up at the shop or order delivery through Skip the Dishes."

"Serving seasonal goodies and one-of-a-kind combinations, Ritual Doughnut is one to beat. Available largely through delivery, we advise anyone interested in taking a bite, to order well in advance. From week to week, these things are completely sold out for one reason…."
