You brew a great beer. Then you come up with a great name for that beer. Then you run into legal issues when it turns out that name is already taken by folks who don’t play nice. So you say to hell with it. And you change the name: Legal Issues.
Nutty, fruity, toffee, molasses and caramel notes on the nose followed by light coffee, caramel and delicious nutty flavours on your palate. Hopped solely with EKG, it provides an earthy and grassy undertone. This brew is a smooth drinker, has a sweet finish due the residual sweetness of the Scottish yeast and is one of the most popular beer here at Origin.
Style: Scottish Export Ale

We grow our very own Alberta barley. Then we harvest and malt that Alberta barley. Then we brew those barley malts with Warrior, Mosaic, Citra and El Dorado hops to craft the finest IPA across the flatlands: True Prairie IPA.

Made in collaboration with the Strathmore Fire Department to help raise money for their charity to buy new equipment - this Red is a unique one, made of a very select Origin malt bill to give such a fine red tone. The aroma of caramel, toast, grapefruit and floral, a hearty malt backbone mashes well with the addition of Fuggles and Centennial boil hops to add a grassy/floral/grapefruit aspect. A cool fermentation results in a very clean and smooth delivery leaving almost no aftertaste. Support a great cause by enjoying a great beer!
