🍻 Good news, YYC: nearly two years after a devastating fire destroyed ’s taproom in Calgary’s Inglewood-Ramsay district, plans are officially in motion to rebuild. 👇

A development permit submitted to the City of Calgary proposes a new taproom at the original site, with renderings showing a design that closely reflects the former space.

The brewery has continued operating from a nearby production facility since the 2024 fire, supported by an outpouring of community support from fellow breweries, local businesses, and customers ❤️🍺

👉 While construction and reopening timelines are still uncertain, ownership says progress through the permit process has been encouraging.
