West Coast Pale Ale
Cabin Brewing Company (Calgary, AB)
& Bale Breaker Brewing Company (Yakima, WA)
6.0% ABV
ย 
The Craft Brewing scene is definitely a close-knit community, and this delightful collaboration pale ale proves it. Brewers from Cabin, Last Best Brewing and Bale Breaker Brewing in Yakima, WA who all worked together in Calgary once upon a time wanted to get together and brew one more beer. One quick hop across the border for hop harvest and the deal was sealed!
ย 
Border Hop West Coast Pale Ale features the wonderfully aromatic experimental hop HBC 586 and โ€œfrozen freshโ€ Mosaic hops from Yakima Chief Hops. This oxymoronically named product sees raw, unkilned whole cone hops plucked from the bine and then flash frozen. This process helps retain the delicate nature of fresh hops, even for those hundreds of kilometres (miles for those south of the borderโ€ฆ) from the hop fields. Expect bright notes of mango, nectarine, guava, lychee, and a hint of berry.

Christmas Pudding Porter
XhAle Brew Co.
Calgary, AB
6.2% ABV
ย 
It wasnโ€™t Christmas without Aunty Reneโ€™s homemade Christmas pudding, a recipe passed down over 100yrs that filled hearts and bellies.
ย 
The week before Aunty Rene passed from breast cancer at the grand age of 96, she was baking so the family wouldnโ€™t be without. This beer is a tribute to the love she put into each one.
ย 
Using a complex grain bill, graham crackers, English yeast, and a subtle blend of Christmas baking spices, this Porter is a unique experience of dark dried fruit, light spices, sweet, toasty breadiness; and is balanced, dry and perfectly robust to pair with every Yule celebration.
ย 
XhAle donates partial proceeds to @albertacancer for Breast Cancer Awareness. ๐ŸŽ€

Cranchberry Sour
Annex Ale Project
Calgary, AB
5.2% ABV
ย 
Inspired by 2018โ€™s All Innocence, but designed to give you less trouble the next day, Little Trouble Cranchberry Sour has all the flavour with way less mischief. Cranchberry is a made-up name for our brewer’s blend of cherry, raspberry, and cranberry. One turn on the kettle makes this kettle sour tart but balanced, even without lactose.
