The Establishment is a brewery & taproom with world-class & highly drinkable beers brewed in . The Establishment Brewing Company is a brewery and taproom located in Calgaryโ€™s Manchester Brewing District - an area perfect for brewery-hopping and was recently named Canadian Brewery of the Year for 2021 at the Can

adian Brewing Awards and Alberta Brewery of the Year for 2021 at the Alberta Beer Awards. We are a band of friends and beer fanatics, united by one common goal: the proliferation of friendship through sharing stories and music over a beer. The taproom has a warm welcoming vibe with good tunes, house plants and beer snacks, surrounded by barrels that hold a variety of wild and sour beer creations that can take anywhere from three months to three years to mature. We brew flavourful and highly drinkable beers, from barrel-aged sours to hop-forward ales, European lagers, and everything in between.

Originating in the village of Lichtenhain, central Germany, Lichtenhainer is a historical style known to be lightly tart, oat-smoked and relatively low in alcohol. The height of its popularity was towards the end of the 1800s, and it was at one time widely available throughout the region. We put our own pineapple mezcal cocktail inspired twist on this now rare brew to create the beer you know and love as Left My Wallet In El Segundo.

We only use fresh fruit, and because the pineapple supply suffered serious challenges last year, we were unable to brew this staple seasonal, meaning this yearโ€™s celebration is extra hype!

Our fan favourite, multiple award-winning, legendary Lichtenhainer with Pineapple is back! Inspired by a trip to Mexico and the wonderful world of mezcal cocktails, this brew โ€” like many of our timeless classics โ€” started as a homebrew recipe in our humble beginnings. Masterfully balanced between ripe pineapple and smoked malt, it's slightly tart, totally refreshing, and is gonna have you vibing with all that summer rhythm. You got, got to get it.

One bright spring morning, we joined our friends at to forage nearly ten kilos of fresh lilacs around Calgary. Back at the brewery, we blended them with 45kg of raw local honey from , and fermented the brew on our own house culture for the next few months. The resulting beer is softly floral, with honey providing a balancing backbone. Because these ingredients are so versatile, we also gave them a chance to shine alongside fresh blackberries. As with all our sleeks, the goal is wild beer that's approachable and crushable. Try them side by side. Itโ€™s another love letter to the wild bounty of Alberta.

Now available in the taproom, online, and at select retailers across Alberta.

All the world is yours with this forward thinking Westie. We took our newest hand-selected lot of Mosaicโ€”bright, berry-forwardโ€”and introduced it to the dankest Nelson Sauvin we've ever laid hands on. We then enhanced it with @ ych Dank Dive Columbus Cryo for that heavy resinous punch, and Riwaka Hop Kief to lift it all into the citrus stratosphere. Peak on a high of orange zest, grapefruit pith, lychee jellies, and fruity gum, all fluttering on your tongue, with that garden fresh ma*****na flavour tying everything together like the bassline you feel more than you hear.
