About Tool Shed Brewing Co.
Jeff and Graham are simply two terrific buddies who met while working on IT and satellite communication projects back in 2007. They connected over a love for taking their hobbies WAY too far and Tool Shed Brewing Company is the natural result of two good home brewing friends that took their favourite hobby further than most.

Every once in a while a LEGEND comes around and revolutionizes an industry! For craft beer canning that legend is Jamie Gordon! A home-brew shop owner who, back in 1999, handbuilt a small manual canner for home brewers. The rest, as they say, is history! Jamie spent 16 years tirelessly devoted to traveling the globe to install, educate, and help every single craft brewery possible benefit from canning their craft beer! Tool Shed is one of those breweries and is honoured to have called Jamie our friend! We love that Jamie taught his boys, “Stop stealing my beer and learn how to brew it!!” so this stout is for Jamie!
In order to mirror that classy, GQ, flat cap wearin’ style of Jamie, this stout is deeply roasty and rich with a surprising presence of hops and a beautiful, smooth, dry finish. If ever a stout were to rock a flat cap like Jamie did, this would be that beer!

If you could thank anyone for the amazing recent explosion of craft breweries opening in our province, who would it be? We'd like to thank Neil Bamford who, along with his amazing partner Tom Corbett, run The Vineyard home-brew shop. Where else does a craft brewing revolution start but at the local home-brew shop? Neil seems to be fuelled by a mission of turning home-brewers into pro-brewers. This one is for Neil.
The beer is a sessionable Oatmeal Pale ale utilizing Cascade as a single hop variety which imparts sweet floral citrus aromas of grapefruit and limes balanced with slight spicy pine notes on the palate. At 4.5% with a balanced crisp bitterness, this beer is a PERFECT companion for summer patio session, but then again so is Neil.

Our head brewer, Lisa wanted to make a saison reminiscent of the subtle characteristics of white wine grapes. We used Huell Melon and Hallertau Blanc hops, which impart the fruity notes Lisa was looking for. We've also used Rocky Mountain malt from Red Shed Malting to impart a unique malt flavour. Enjoy!

On the 50th anniversary of this iconic event, we’ve gathered for the first ever LGBTQ+ industry collaboration in Alberta to release a juicy, sessionable, hazy pale ale. We are celebrating the bravery of Marsha P. Johnson and remembering that Pride started as and continues to be a protest. Boasting a smooth pillowy body, very low bitterness, and a powerful citrus flavour profile from Citra and Mandarina Bavaria hops, you’ll be doing a double take to make sure you didn’t pick out a can of orange juice to accompany you in your Pride celebrations this summer!
