JANE'S DIARY

#NationalDrinkBeerDay

Next Monday, September 28 is #NationalDrinkBeerDay, but what does that mean? How do you celebrate in Calgary? Wrangle your social bubble and plan to indulge in local craft brews, at your favourite barbecue joint of course! (It’s Jane Bond BBQ if your memory is foggy)

As a small business, Jane Bond BBQ is all about supporting our local friends, that’s why we only stock local breweries on tap.

This national drink beer day, we’re making the most of our socially distant situation with special priced pitchers! Yeah…you read that right, get any jug of our beers on tap for only $15, perfect for splitting with a friend…orrr hogging all to yourself. (We won’t judge, or tell ????)

So now you must be wondering, “Jane, what do you have to quench my thirst?” I thought you’d never ask…On tap right now, we’re proudly pouring:

Cold Garden Brewing’s East Calgary Lager

About the Brew:
A Vienna lager with a crisp conventional base. The beer is focused around a toasted malt center and whispers of floral hop flavour and aroma which parlay into a slight malt sweetness that joins the party at the end. This is a lager that rolls with some flavour. It can be a gateway beer for the craft averse or a crushable craft lager for the aficionado who needs to come down off a humulone high. | Specs: 27/5.2%

Cold Garden’s Story:
Cold Garden Beverage Company is a Calgary-based microbrewery. A love of craft beer and a passing comment in a university classroom planted the idea years ago and the concept has been growing ever since. The brewery has put down roots in the vibrant community of Inglewood, hoping to breathe new life into what was once the brewing district of Calgary. Cold Garden brings a casual and eclectic vibe to the community, along with a lineup of traditional and more…eccentric beers.

Railyard Brewing’s IPA

About the Brew:
Travelling down the tracks from the West Coast comes the Railyard IPA. Stunning floral aromatics, classic orange peel & grapefruit citrus palate & finishes with a hint of pine. Balanced with caramel malt, pouring crystal clear & finishing clean as a train whistling rolling in. This is sure to satisfy. Specs: 6% ABV 60 IBU

Railyard’s Story:
Railyard Brewing are dedicated to creating quality craft beers and their brewers are passionate about innovation and taste. The craft brew industry is a dynamic industry and they wanted to showcase that vibrant spirit by combining great craft beer with an artistic vibe. The combination of malt freight cars and graffiti art inspired them to create Railyard Brewing. The artistic design on their products and in the tasting room/event space is a tribute to the creative talent of the rail car graffiti artists. By decorating the rail cars they have created a moving exhibition showcasing their art for all of us to enjoy.

Railyard Brewing opened in December 2017 and thanks to the hard-working team, and loyal customers they’ve been growing ever since. They offer innovative small batches and a line of excellent mainstay beers. Join them in the taproom, located near Calgary Airport, for some great tasting beer and check-out the unique taproom/event space. This is a tribute to their heritage and a toast to the future.

Revival Brewcade’s Homebound Blonde Ale

About the Brew:
Their most popular beer. Crushable, clean and dry with a light honey malt sweetness in the finish. For every 4 pack, Revival donates $4 to the families affected by the Nova Scotia shootings. This Honey and Biscuit noted ale is available in growlers, and Kegs. Specs: ABV 5%. IBU 10 Image of pint

Revival Brewcade’s Story:
Revival Brewcade is a concept that has been nearly 40 years in the making. Owners James and Jamie were born in Nova Scotia and grew up during the era where dropping coins into the local arcades was common after school. In the late 90s James and Jamie met in the music scene. James, a successful entrepreneur and Jamie, a home brewer set out on separate paths. James opened several candy stores under the Gummi Boutique brand. Jamie carried out his career as a Software Engineer and began home brewing in 2008. Years later James and Jamie met again in Calgary and began discussing the idea of craft beer and arcades. James had frequented many arcade bars all over the U.S., and likewise Jamie with craft breweries. “We wanted to bring an authentic experience to people seeking full flavoured craft beer and retro arcades”. From here Revival Brewcade was born.
