The company currently operates two locations, one in Canmore and one in Banff. It’s well-known for its lineup of craft beers and mountain vibes. 

It first opened its Canmore taproom in 2019, then expanded to Banff in 2025, drawing visitors from across the province. 

Details like an exact location and opening timeline have not been announced yet, but the brewery says it’s looking forward to welcoming guests through the doors of its newest space soon.
