“One of our absolute favourite lunch spots.  The food is delicious and the atmosphere is really great.  We picked up a couple mini kegs for a party on the weekend as well which are fairly priced and locally brewed (Velvet Fog + Wraspberry = Pink Velvet).  Amazing beer always and the taproom is definitely worth a visit.”—Jess Lynn

Topping it off is a good selection of beers brewed right on the premises!

“Ordered some Pinball Wizard raspberry sour beer which was fantastic, extremely tasty indeed…. Safely delivered right to my door too ???” – Scott Tizzard

Here’s another one:

“If you only went for the Jane Bond BBQ Grilled Cheese and tater tots, you would be happy. Add in a flight of small batch beers and you’re good to go!! The beers are all quite different so I like the flight option (4x5oz for $12) to try them before committing to a pint. My fav was the Plum Forgot Plum Sour. I’m not a huge beer drinker so I think this one is probably a good choice for people like me. ?
The games are fun but social distancing makes it less so. Pinball night was a win for my son. We will be back!” – Gina Smith

I recommend trying the Formative Years, after having my flight I went back for that one and would say it’s their best. Also the non alcoholic ginger beer is amazing and would go well in a cocktail.” —Ian Macdonald 

“Best micro brewery I’ve been to in Calgary so far. Super unique brews and loved almost every one of them. Especially like the Forward Progress ale and the cranberry/grapefruit tasting one.

Highly recommend this business !!” – Lora Walsh

“Great place for a drink or a light snack. The kombucha beer scared me at first but tried the pear and cherry and loved them. The rest if my group had cocktails that they all loved, even made an experimental cocktail for 2 of the group and they thought they were excellent.” – Aki Hatzistamatis

Customer Reviews

Here’s a review from one of Ol’ Beautiful Brewing Co.’s  clients:

“Nice spot for a brewery, and nice interior. With cool and unique spots to sit, there is a unique experience for everyone. The inside and patio have a great vibe. Our beverages were nice and in-linne with the current beer trends. The service was the standard hipster style, so just know it is the bare minimum. That being said, the impressive features include, a 3rd party food stand (clever business move), and a concise menu with ordering instructions that makes you feel at ease right away. Appreciated this because so many breweries are not clear on how the service works. Great job setting the expectation upon seating. Enjoyed our time here, will be back.”

Here’s another one:

“We biked all around Calgary on a very hot summer day. Stopped here for a cold local brew as a reward. We all ordered the flight and could choose from any of their beer and ciders. Nice selections and 4oz of each of 4 choices.  They also had a really thirst quenching slushie that i could have drank all afternoon called Kiss From A Rose…. if I didn’t have to get my rental bike back :p They didn’t have any real foods for lunch but were very accommodating when we ordered in pizza to go with our beer. Our waiter, Carson, was easy going and fun and had no issues accommodating when we wanted to have 2 glasses to share the slushie. We had a lovely table outside in the shade, which was most appreciated.  Would definitely come back here again.”
