Two Alberta beer festivals to hop into this season
Our province is known for its love of cold brews and good times. This season Albertans will be spoiled for choice when it comes to ways to celebrate that affection.
Beer lovers these are the festivals you were born for.
Calgary is hosting Western Canada’s largest beer festival this summer, shortly before Edmonton’s Premier Food and Beer Festival.
