#1 NEIGHBOUR

PAPAYA KETTLE SOUR

Hi-diddly-ho frienderinos! There is nothing better than great neighbours, right?

In celebration of YYC Neighbour Day 2021, Cabin Brewing Company and Born Colorado Brewing collaborated on TWO special Neighbour Day beers that are designed to be mixed and matched with each other.

We both started with a summer-crushing kettle sour base, sprinkled a little lactose for sweetness, then bombarded it with fruit. Born Colorado’s version has blood orange and grapefruit, while Cabin’s version has boatloads of papaya. On their own they are delicious – when blended and drank as a pair, they are next-level awesome!

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Fruity & Tart

HOPS: Magnum

MISHTI

TAMARIND & MANGO SOUR

Where old meets new and east meets west, beer meets food and the result is the best!

Is there a more exciting restaurant in all of Calgary than Calcutta Cricket Club? Those bright, bold flavours, modern Kolkata classics done in tasteful elegance - a night out here is like a night in heaven.

To help celebrate their birthday, we crafted a beer to match their unique and exciting flavours. That beer is Mishti, a mango and tamarind sour that’s tart and lively and all sorts of amazing. The name is a Bengali word for sweet - but use it as a term of celebration (mishtiiiii!) and you’ll fit right in.

Get yourself a kati roll in one hand and a beer in the other. Mishtiiii!

STYLE: Fruited Sour

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Sweet & Sour Fruit Bomb

FUEGO

MEXICAN HOT CHOCOLATE STOUT

Say hello to Luna & Fuego’s little cousin…

Just like our barrel-aged Luna & Fuego, we started with a whopping imperial stout with cocoa, cinnamon and vanilla, then spiked it with a trio of chilies – sweet ancho, tangy guajillo and smoky chipotle. We’ve transferred a bunch of this beer to tequila barrels for a long sleep (see you in winter Luna & Fuego V2!) but for now you are in good company with Fuego - it’s unoaked, unaged, all sorts of fun and ready to drink now.

The beer pours a thick, viscous black. The vanilla and cinnamon lend notes of horchata, while the cocoa and chili marry to create a decadently sweet and lingering spicy flavour.

 Did we mention it’s smooth? Ridiculously so.

STYLE: Imperial Stout

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Horchata & Spice

HOPS: Magnum

ABV: 11.5

IBU: 40

TROPOSPHERE

WEST COAST IPA

Hello world. Aren’t you smelling lovely today?

When you think of all the permutations of blends of aromas that exist in the troposphere we call home, the mind boggles.

We’ve concocted what we think is pretty close to heaven on earth. Troposphere West Coast IPA is a classic hop bomb, with a stupendously delicious modern twist. We chose two new hop varieties - Talus & HBC 586 - to show what’s possible when old school IPAs get a dose of something epic.

Prepare yourself to be assaulted with notes of mango, papaya and sweet orange, with underlying herbal notes and lingering pine resin. It’s dry, with just enough malt sweetness to balance the hop kick. It’s wildly aromatic, right to the last drop. Introduce some to your own troposphere, and smell the difference!

STYLE: West Coast IPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: NE Aroma, WC Flavour

HOPS: Talus, HBC 586

CLOUDBURST

TART LEMON AND BLUEBERRY ALE

No one can deny it’s been a challenging year. The global pandemic burst upon us like a sudden downpour a year ago, and it’s barely let up since.

Cloudburst Tart Blueberry and Lemon Ale is released to celebrate International Women’s Day 2021. While COVID restrictions meant we couldn't bring the women of Cabin together to brew the beer, they decided the style, flavour profile and name and put our brew team to work. Cloudburst uses a hop blend provided as part of the Pink Boot Society initiative, which strives to improve gender diversity in the brewing industry. A portion of Cloudburst sales will go to the Pink Boots Society.

The sweet fruitiness of the blueberries and vanilla in this easy-drinking sour are balanced with the underlying acidity of lemons, while lactose adds creaminess. Think of it as a pie in a pint glass 🥧.

This year’s IWD theme is Choose to Challenge and we invite you to raise a glass of Cloudburst high to show you’re in. From challenge comes change - and we’ll cheers to that.

STYLE: Fruited Sour

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Pie in a glass

HOPS: Pink Boots Blend 2021

LOVE SHACK

HAZY PASSIONFRUIT IPA

A year ago we traded BFF necklaces with our good friends at Eighty Eight Brewing and set our sights on a glorious collaboration.

Alas, 2020 had other plans…. But we weren’t going to let another year go by without celebrating our mutual love – for each other, and for tasty beer. Behold, our lovechild – Love Shack Hazy Passionfruit IPA!

The talented brew teams at Cabin and ‘88 built the recipe for Love Shack together, then each brewed their own version. While it’s the same recipe and same ingredients, each beer is slightly different.

We started with a wonderfully full-bodied and super soft malt bill, blended a passionfruit addition as big as a whale and then dry-hopped the living bejeebus out of it with all the Galaxy, Vic Secret, Cryo Mosaic and Cryo Sabro hops we could lay our hands on.

Think of Love Shack as tropical aromatherapy, with a citrus chaser, mixed with a delightfully tart little twist of passionfruit. Juicy? Yes. Tasty? HECK YES!

STYLE: Fruted NEIPA

FLAVOUR PROFILE: A pint of love

HOPS: Galaxy, Vic Secret, Mosaic, Sabro, Enigma

ABV: 6.8

IBU: 31

MORNING SUN

SAISON

The golden light. The warm glow. The awakening of the day. As the seasons change, so too does your routine. From breakfast in the dark to coffee on the deck. Long sleeves to short. Hibernation to motivation.

Morning Sun Saison (6%) is a nod to the centuries-old traditions of French and Belgian farmhouse brewing, where light, refreshing ales were brewed to sustain workers toiling in hot fields.

We’ve used a farmhouse yeast strain that evokes spring with one inhale – honey, pear, citrus blossom, stone fruit and melon – and is accentuated by the floral and fruity notes of Loral and Kazbek hops.

It pairs perfectly with summer salads, creamy pasta, BBQ chicken and soft cheeses. But it also drinks exceedingly well, by itself, in the sunshine.

Toil or not, you deserve it.

STYLE: Saison

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Honey, Pear & Citrus Blossom

HOPS: Kazbek, Loral, Magnum

FALLING SKIES

DARK FRUiTED SOUR

It can feel like a dark, dark world sometimes, but rest assured - there are beacons to light the way. Summer is around the corner. Vaccines are at hand. We may have forgotten how to speak face-to-face, but we haven’t lost the ability to love and be kind.

At first glance Falling Skies Dark Sour (5%) seems like a beer for dark days. But the deep brown colour comes from Sinamar liquid malt extract, which provides colour without the roasty notes you’d expect from a dark beer.

And the light at the end of the tunnel? Boatloads of tart cherries and apricots that provide vibrant bursts of tangy fruit flavour and baking spice notes. It’s a delightfully juicy flavour explosion to light you up from the inside.

STYLE: Kettle Sour

FLAVOUR PROFILE: Roasty & Dry

HOPS: Magnum

ABV: 5

IBU: 10
