DAY 25 – RED DEER Craft Beer Advent Calendar

We’re finally at the end! ???????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????? of our RED DEER Alberta Craft Beer Advent Calendar! ????????
 
“???????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????”
Brown Ale
Blind Enthusiasm Brewing Company
Edmonton, AB
8.7% ABV
 
Occasionally a beer names itself, and this was the case with Smooth Operator. As a big, brown ale aged in Port barrels for 24 months, we were a little surprised how easy-drinking it was, even though it clocks in at 8.7% ABV.
 
The very first suggested name, Smooth Operator, was unanimously approved. This recipe uses a wide range of dark malts which play nicely off the red fruit and tannin from the Port barrels. The final beer is a delightful amalgam of red wine, chocolate, and cola notes with a clean, dry finish.
 
Hope you love this beer!
 
THANK YOU so much for being a part of our 3rd annual Craft Beer Advent Calendar! HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you!

Robust Porter with a dominant roasted malt backbone, brewed with milk sugar, vanilla beans, and cold pressed coffee from Rebel Bean Coffee added in at kegging.

DAY 20 – RED DEER Craft Beer Advent Calendar

???????????? ???????????????????????? of our RED DEER Alberta Craft Beer Advent Calendar is a hazy and juicy treat! ????????
 
“???????????????????????? ????????????????????”
Hazy IPA
Endeavour Brewing Company
St. Albert, AB
6.0% ABV
 
Cloudy Peaks Hazy IPA (NEIPA) is rich with hop aromas and flavours. But this beer is unique and stands out from others in the category with a moderate bitterness. The bursting juicy pineapple, zesty citrus and tropical notes are from huge amounts of Mosaic, Motueka and El Dorado hops that carry through the palate while still maintaining a soft cloudy body.

???????????? ???????????????????????????????????? of our RED DEER Alberta Craft Beer Advent Calendar is an absolute beaut! ????????
 
“???????????????????????????????? ????????????????????”
Doppelbock
Blindman Brewing
Lacombe, AB
7.4% ABV
 
Now that the days are colder, the beer should get warmer. Doppelbocks were designed to essentially be “liquid bread” for German monks to consume while fasting. Officially, we can’t suggest that anyone try a liquid diet but if we did… I’d suggest listening to your German elders. Enjoy this bready, caramelly, warming treat before it’s gone.
