OUR BEERS
BREWING WITH SPIRIT
At Sheepdog Brewing, we craft our beers with passion, adventure, and a bit of rebellious spirit. Our core lineup is all about consistency and drinkability; your go-to pack of reliable favourites. Meanwhile, our seasonal and experimental brews push the boundaries with bold flavours, creative twists, and a sense of adventure. Whether you’re a hophead, a malt lover, or someone who craves the unexpected, there’s always something new to discover.
What’s in a Name?
Every Sheepdog beer has a story. Some are inspired by the Bow Valley's legendary trails and peaks, others by local lore, and a few… Well, let’s just say small-town life has its own way of writing tales. And since all our beer names are handwritten on a chalkboard, like ever-changing works of art, some of the best names come from happy accidents of our staff.

Morning Glory
-Cream Ale
Coffee meets beer in this light-bodied cream ale, layered with vanilla, toffee, and honey notes. A subtle caffeine kick (about 5-10% of a cup of coffee per pint) makes this the rare beer that works just as well at sunrise as it does at sunset.
ABV 5.4%
Dead Man's Flats
-Pale Ale
Loaded with classic West Coast hops, this crisp, dry, and lightly bitter pale ale is a nod to our secret mountain hideaway in Dead Man’s Flats. Built for good times and zero fear, because seasons don’t fear the Reaper, and neither should you.

Kia Ora
-New Zealand Pale Ale
A little taste of New Zealand, without the long-haul flight. This soft, sessionable hazy pale ale is loaded with Kiwi hops — Pacifica and Nelson Sauvin bring white grape and honeydew, layered with chamomile, honey, and a gentle herbal finish. Floral, fruity, and dangerously easy drinking.
"Kia Ora" means good health. Around here, we'll translate it to: yeah, one more please.

Scarlett JoHOPsson

Dawn's breaking, and with it comes one hell of a showdown — this brew packs heat and sweetness to keep things friendly. Chili, cinnamon, and chocolate meet six months of Tequila barrel aging for layers of spice, raisin, vanilla, and roasted malt.

Crisp, effervescent, and just a little bit flirty — the kind of beer that says bonjour before you've even taken your first sip.
ABV 4.8%
Mango Fett
