Super B
(3.58/5)
2020 Alberta Beer Awards Bronze Medal Winner. This American-style wheat beer pours golden with a white, foamy head, and features prominent citrus, stone fruit, and bread aroma. This beer has a light, refreshing body with moderate carbonation and a dry but soft bread-flavoured finish and mild grain aftertaste.

ABV: 5% IBU: 23

Backyard Oasis
(3.67/5)
2019 Canadian International Beer Festival Gold Winner. Formerly known as Coconut Brown, this beer overlays sweet, fresh, house-toasted coconut on a nutty brown base beer, with flavours of milk chocolate, caramel and toast, on a mildly bitter backbone with a dry finish.
Style: Brown Ale - English
ABV: 5.5% IBU: 32

Crispy Gurl
(3.73/5)
For this years International Womens Day brew, we are collaborating with XHale Brew Co to create our own take on a very new style, the Cold IPA, which is sweeping across the USA but has yet to make its mark on Alberta. This mixed style combines aspects of both a European Lager and a West Coast IPA to create a very unique brew that is light in colour, crisp in finish, and heavy on hops. What better way to showcase this years Pink Boots hop blend? Our annual Pink Boots Brew is used to re-establish the conversation around women empowerment and inclusion in the brewing industry and weve teamed up with XHale Brew Co to help expand our reach with this important message.
Style: IPA - Cold
ABV: 6.8% IBU: 50

Jumpingpound
(3.64/5)
A hazy, tart and crackery Kettle Sour with a hint of lemon. Try this traditional sour on its own or with our house made fruit syrups! A modern take on German Berliner-weisse with a tart acidity and surprising level of flavour and body for such a low alcohol beer, with plenty of malty, husky grain flavour and a pale yellow colour with some haze. Originally called Kettle Sour #2, Jumpingpound is the basis for nearly all of our Barrel-Aged Sour and Barrel-Aged Fruited Sour beers. We are bringing this classic back in its unadulterated form with a fancy new name, emphasizing the importance of the connection to nature and the versatility of this product that has been around all along, but quietly in the background.
Style: Sour - Berliner Weisse
ABV: 3.3% IBU: 7

Zinful California Zinfandel Barrel-Aged Baltic Porter
(3.44/5)
We took Desperate Times, our unique take on a Baltic Porter and aged it in a single barrel that once held California Zinfandel (2018 vintage), bringing mellow dark fruit, vanilla, and toast undertones to an already rich and delicious porter. Lagered and barrel-aged, this beer is smooth and crisp, yet full bodied and deceptively easy drinking for its alcohol content. At over 10%, this beer brings a fair amount of alcoholic heat that is beautifully balanced and mellowed from its extended barrel-aging time of 1 year. The resulting flavours resemble that of a glass of sherry or port with plenty of oak, vanilla, toast, and dark fruit notes.
Style: Porter - Imperial / Double Baltic
ABV: 10.3% IBU: 36

Firebrand Tennessee Whiskey Barrel-Aged Baltic Porter
(3.83/5)
We took Desperate Times, our unique take on a Baltic Porter, the 100th batch of beer brewed at Prairie Dog Brewing and aged it for 5 months in Tennessee Whiskey barrels, bringing bold yet smooth whiskey characteristics to an already rich and delicious beer. The malty sweet chocolate and light roastiness serve to introduce the warming backbone of its 10.3% ABV. Lagered and barrel-aged, this beer is smooth and crisp, yet full bodied and deceptively easy drinking for its alcohol content.
Style: Porter - Imperial / Double Baltic

S.T.E.V.E.
(4.21/5)
A blend of 15-month bourbon barrel-aged and 3-month stainless-aged imperial stouts, further bottle-aged for 2.5 years. A deceptively smooth, full-bodied drinking experience without the sharpness of younger examples. Named for the atmospheric phenomenon that was originally coined in Alberta; Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement (S.T.E.V.E. for short), which appears as a ribbon of light across the sky. From its Aurora-watching inspiration, this barrel-aged imperial stouts name represents a long process of studying and the amazing discoveries happening right here in Alberta in the sky and in brewery barrels. This big beautiful beer showcases what some patience and childlike wonder will do.
Style: Stout - Imperial / Double
ABV: 10.4% IBU: 77

Cloud Alby
(3.38/5)
This Hazy IPA is an ultra-creamy cloud of dry-hopped deliciousness with notes of tangerine, peach, raspberry and passionfruit, with a resin finish. A super approachable Hazy IPA using wheat malt and oat malt to increase protein haze and give a creamy, fluffy mouthfeel without the use of milk sugar. Dry-hopped with a combination of Mosaic, Idaho Gem, and HBC 630 - an experimental hop that enhances creaminess with a low caramel note.
Style: IPA - New England / Hazy
ABV: 6.6% IBU: 17
