Olds College Brewery
We are staying up to date on all information available from Health authorities in an effort to operate in the safest manner possible. The retail store will remain open with normal hours until further notice. However, to be safe to our customers and our staff, we are implementing a few precautionary measures:
We will be taking extra precautions with cleaning and sanitizing surfaces multiple times a day.
We will encourage staff to increase the frequency of handwashing and will provide a hand sanitizer station for customers.
We will keep a social distance between staffs and customers.
We will temporarily halt using cash as a method of payment. We will be accepting debit and credit.
Masks are mandatory inside the retail.
We will remain open Thursday to Saturday, from noon to 6 pm at LIMITED CAPACITY of 2 customers at a time inside the retail.
We will be offering CURB-SIDE Pickup again during business hours. Customers must place their order and proceed to payment by calling the retail at 403-556-8293. We will be maintaining the keg growler filling station open with the 10 min disinfecting/cleaning process.
The brewing industry in Alberta and Canada is growing rapidly. Customer demand has led to an explosion in the numbers of locally owned and operated craft breweries. The demand for locally produced brews has led to establishing the Olds College Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program, and the Olds College Brewery and Brewery Retail Store. The Olds College Brewery Retail Store sells cans, bottles, bombers, growlers and kegs. Our beers are also available at leading bars, restaurants, and liquor retailers across central Alberta! We produce all types of beer and train students in all beer styles, so we are constantly turning out new and creative seasonal brews in addition to our four ‘core’ brands.
As a social enterprise we are not profit driven. All revenue from beer sales goes toward supporting education and in doing so, the brewing industry. Our only goal is to train the next generation right and to produce the best beer possible while doing so.

Aggie Ale
Dank and citrusy hops are backed by a toasty caramel malt body with hints of bready overtones. Aggie Ale is generously hopped with a blend of Pacific Northwest style hops throughout the brewing process to let you know what the students are all about. Pairs perfectly with a completed midterm.
Style: Pacific Northwest Amber Ale
ABV: 5.0% | IBU: 51 | SRM: 21
Old Skhool
Full of rich, nutty, and roasty flavours, this American style brown ale has just the right balance of hop character to pique the interest and balance the malt complexity. Pairs perfectly with cold winter days while remaining light enough to spend some time on the summer patio.
Style: American Brown Ale
ABV: 5.4% | IBU: 36 | SRM: 38
Prairie Gold
This Pacific Northwest-styled IPA combines a full, malty backbone to balance an aggressive hopping schedule. Caramel and light, bready flavours from the malts intermingle with the powerful citrus, resin, and tropical fruit character of the hops. An intensely hoppy beer elegantly balanced for quaffability.
Style: India Pale Ale
ABV: 6.5% | IBU: 72 | SRM: 10
Limited Editions & Student Creations
The Student Craft Beer series allows students of the Olds College Brewmaster and Brewery Operations Management program to create and sell their very own beers. From the recipe, through the brewing process, to the naming and marketing of the beer, these beers are a product of the skill, determination, and imagination of our students. These beers are brewed in smaller batches, and as such are available in limited quantities. Pick one up today and try them for yourself!
The Student Craft Beer series and Brewmaster's "School's Out" Series are only available in the Brewery Retail Store.

2020 #BeTheBrewer Beer: The Walking Red
Description: This year's Brightside #BeTheBrewer Contest beer is an Irish Red Ale, boasting a deep copper colour. It pours a fluffy tan head, settling to a thin layer of foam. As a medium-bodied beer, The Walking Red demonstrates both aromas and flavours that are incredibly well balanced, presenting elements of toffee, caramel, nuttiness and fruit. Slight notes of roasted grain, dry brown sugar and a mild hop profile lend to a refreshingly dry finish. So whether you're preparing for the apocalypse or just relaxing on the deck at home, The Walking Red is the perfect thirst-quencher in 2020! Our sincerest thanks goes out to our amazing #BeTheBrewer partners: Brightside, Alberta Barley, Sobeys Liquor and Alberta Beer Festivals. As well as our congratulations to this year's winners!
Style: Irish Red Ale | ABV: 5.2% | IBU: 25 |
