Vaycay a new brew pub in Marda Loop

With soaring food costs and stiff competition, you might not expect a new entry in Calgary’s crowded craft beer market. Yet Vaycay Brew Pub has just opened another such establishment, in busy Marda Loop; its three-year-old brewery is in nearby Currie Barracks.

A flight of beers

Owner Andrew Gass has a few competitive aces up his sleeve. One, obviously, is a fine roster of beers, including a salted black lager (Hidden Dragon) and a tropical New England IPA (Tangerine Speedo). And as a trained chef, he ventures well beyond typical bar food with, say, a superb short-rib taquito.
