With a wholesome amount of tartness to keep those taste buds tantalized, you’ll want to take four - a four-pack that is. It’s only here for a short time, so get it while it’s freshly squeezed.

87 STEPS

TART NEIPA WITH PINEAPPLE & GUAVA

87 Steps is a luscious, full-bodied NEIPA that is laden with guava and pineapple, with a nice tart finish that keeps all that tropical craziness in check. This beer (brewed for YYC Neighbour Day 2020) is made to be shared; with the couple over the fence you’ve only said hello to; with the new family that just moved in; with your friends a few blocks over who are now like family. 87 Steps is the distance between Born Colorado Brewing and Cabin, in Calgary’s Manchester brewing area. We are neighbours. We are friends. We share a love of community and making great beer.

EQUINOX

POMEGRANATE CHERRY SOUR

Equinox tastes like the changing of the days. It pours the most gentle orange-pink hue, like a clear fall sunset. The pomegranate-cherry one-two punch lends a melange of plump ripe fruitiness, with very light underlying cooking spice notes and a woody, winey aroma - akin to a delicate rose wine.

FORAGER

TRI-BERRY SOUR

Forager Tri-Berry Sour is crisp, tart and oh-so refreshing. We’ve blended blackberry, boysenberry and raspberry for an explosive berry fruit flavour and aroma, backed by sharp citrusy acidity. It’s refreshing, delicious and looks awesome in the glass.

COOL AS

CUCUMBER & LIME GOSE

Dang. It’s hot. This calls for something refreshing. Something tart and zingy. Something cool. Cool As is a thirst-quenching patio crusher, built for those long, hot Alberta days. Do you like lime? Well, we have lime. We’ve used lime zest, freshly-squeezed lime juice, crushed kaffir lime leaves and sun-dried Middle Eastern loomi limes. The citrus melange has been blended with an unfathomable number of Alberta-grown cucumbers to give an earthy and aromatic undertone. Salt and coriander tie the flavours together to bring the beer to life. Cool As will slake the fiercest thirst and bring joy to the patio season. Cool? Cool.

IN THE HALLWAY, WITH THE AXE

PLUM GOSE

All work and no play makes Professor Plum a dull boy. Was he the mysterious purple-clad figure roaming the halls of the Overlook Hotel the night the Grady twins died? We have no clue. We do, however, know a good mash-up when we see it. Like the salty and sour flavours of German gose beer, melded with the rich, dark fruit notes of ripe plum. Additions of coriander and wheat give a lingering flavour that shines. It’s to die for.

HIVE MIND

FRUITED HONEY ALE

100kg of raw Drizzle honey went into the beer to give it a dry, smooth body and gentle spicy and floral aromas. Saskatoon berries lend a vibrant hue and a hint of earthy berry sweetness, while rhubarb provides a most delightful summer fruit tang. It’s bee-eautiful!
