Dogs are more than welcome at Calgary’s Cold Garden Beverage Company

Arguing that Cold Garden Beverage Company isn’t the coolest craft brewery in Calgary could well draw howls of protest.

That’s partly because the Inglewood brewery welcomes dogs inside its taproom. And on a busy Saturday afternoon, the canine cacophony adds to the general din of folks chatting over some seriously good pints.

About a dozen beers on tap, at affordable prices

Mostly though, Cold Garden is just undeniably funky with vegetated walls, comfy couches, graffiti-covered bathrooms. Really, there’s nothing like it in Calgary’s busy craft brewing scene.

Vegetated walls are just part of the funky design

As are the graffiti-covered bathrooms

Location In the heart of Inglewood’s craft brewing district and just a few steps away from Ol Beautiful Brewing.

Ambience An undeniably funky hangout

Food A few snacks, but it’s all about the beer

Availability On tap at a number of Calgary pubs and restaurants or by growler in the taproom or at a handful of liquor outlets

Favourite beer This Must Be The IPA (6% alcohol, 69 IBU), Favourite name: Red Smashed in Buffalo Jump (Irish red ale 5.1%, 26 IBU)

A flight of excellent brews
