Randy Rabena helps us give back to Saving Grace Animal Society!

β€œLove leaves a memory.”
❀️🐾
It was love for a pet that led our November Guest Chef in Red Deer want to support a local animal shelter with Burger of the Month funds.
Randy Rabena provided the creative juices for β€œRandy’s Bacon Cheeseburger”!
πŸ”
It included 2 Alberta beef smash patties, jalapeno jack cheese, peppered bacon, crispy fried onion strings, shredded lettuce, beefsteak tomato, house dijonaise, chipotle aioli on a brioche bun with pickle skewer!! $2 of every burger sold goes directly to Randy’s charity of choice Saving Grace Animal Society.
Randy says his family has much love for animals β€œwhen we lost our beloved Bailey last summer, we realized how lucky we were to have had him for almost 15 years and what a great life he had with us. With that, we were also reminded of all the animals out there who unfortunately don’t have that safe home right from the start or the access to the medical care needed. We have so much respect for everything that Saving Grace endures and strongly believe that this organization continues to make a big difference in our community”.
Saving Grace Animal Society is an animal rescue in Alix and an off-site sanctuary for larger animals, providing rescue services 24/7 for emergency calls all over Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Saving Grace believes every animal can be rehabilitated, it’s for that reason they take on the hardest cases. The Society operates solely off a donation-based budget, and they are currently building their very own vet clinic.
Thanks to your support of our beloved Burger of the Month Program Randy helped us hand over $1750 to Saving Grace Animal Society today (Monday, December 5th). Thanks to the amazing support we see from our guest’s month after month, we have had the opportunity to give back over $120,000 to local charities over the past 70 months!

“𝐓𝐇𝐄 π’ππŽπ– 𝐄𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐑”
Stout
Wild Winds Brewery
Pincher Creek, AB
5.5% ABV
On January 10, 1962, the Town of Pincher Creek experienced a β€œSnow Eater,” also known as a Chinook wind. The town holds the national record for one of the most extreme temperature changes in a single day! The temperature rose from a chilly -19Β°C to a summery 22Β°C in just one hour.
Β 
A medium-full-bodied black beer with a pronounced roasted flavour, with notes of coffee and dark chocolate with some malty complexity. It has a smooth mouthfeel from adding Canada Malting’s flaked oats and Red Shed Malting‘s Penhold wheat. The hop aroma is low, and the beer finishes dry.

“𝙒𝙍𝙄𝙏𝙀𝙍’π™Ž π˜½π™‡π˜Όπ™‰π˜Ύ”
Barrel-Aged Mixed Fermentation Sour
Trial & Ale
Edmonton, AB
6.0% ABV
Hops have played an important role in the craft beer world since the beginning of the scene’s renaissance.
Β 
How the hop has expressed itself has varied and evolved ever since. Admittedly, in the world of sour mixed fermentations, the hop is an understated bit player compared to many other starring role styles, however the uses continue to evolve.
Β 
Known for its bitter qualities and its inherent preservative nature, many other vital contributions go unnoticed. In the world of sour beers, dry hopping is the reference standard of uses. Playing up the aroma and flavour of the hop, while minimizing the bitterness is key to a pleasurable experience when combined with acidity. One of our favourite hop varietals that resonates with us and never disappoints is Hallertau Blanc.
Β 
With a white wine character, and confusingly fruity AND floral notes, it offers a complex nose and flavour that is typically achieved through hop combinations. While grown in the Hallertau region, it is a far cry from its noble namesake. In actuality, this hop is a close relative of the Cascade varietal from North America, albeit with a distinctly German terroir.
