    Great place for beers nice staff great views. Their sour was refreshing. Parking seemed reserved for other businesses so we went around a bit for a spot. I'm overall good place.

    Sheepdog was by far our favorite brewery in the Banff area! They had so many fun beers. Our favorite part was the variety of sizes so we could try more and the cute small glasses you could buy to take home.

    This place is amazing. The bartenders are so welcoming and cheerful. It's dog-friendly! Both beers we had were delicious. The gin-barrel aged blueberry cream ale was a whooping 9% that had so much flavor and drank so smooth it was dangerous. The Lost Local Lager had depth of flavor but also finished smooth. Loved this place!

    Visiting Canmore and wanted to try a local brewery. We have fabulous local breweries in NC so wasn't sure how a Canadian one would compare but it was fantastic. We had our 19 year old daughter with us. She can't drink legally in the States so this was her first trip to a brewery and I'm glad it was such a great experience. The employees were super friendly and let us taste a sample before we made our decisions. I had the Beam Me Up Blonde Ale and daughter had the dry cider. Husband enjoyed his IPA. I saw the bartender bring out some fabulous looking soft pretzels several times so they must serve some food as well. First we sat outside on the deck with a nice view of the mountains but it started to rain so we moved in to a cozier table inside. I wish we'd had the time to stay longer and try more beers, a flight or maybe the bbq food truck parked outside. Definitely recommend this place if you're looking for a good beer in Canmore.

    Well, I love trying local breweries so while in Canmore, AB, Canada I had to try Sheepdog Brewing. I had a flight with a light Pilsner to a coconut Porter on the dark side. The only one I didn't like was the West Coast Pilsner due to its bitterness. If you like IPA's you will like this one. It was super busy as it was the Friday before Canada Day! We found a table upstairs with a beautiful view and enjoyed our time immensley!

    It is a brewery with patio seating. Wide selection on tap. You cannot go wrong. Mountain views. Friendly staff. No food except for bags of chips. Sours, cider, whitbeers, IPAs, porters, lagers.

Apparently, they make all of the beers on top in house. We tried their beer flight, which features their post popular beers. The pinery pilsner, happy trails pale ale, and peach cream ale were probs my fav. We also tried some of their food which was delicious as well, but the star of the show is def their beer. We tried their elk and kale pizza and tuna poke bowl. Never had elk before, but it tastes like lean beef!

Our server was from Ireland and she was a real gem, she's off to Australia soon! We had the Mac and cheese and the beer battered fish and chips. Both were delicious and served with such speed and accuracy our heads were spinning! In a good way! The Mac and cheese had shaved mushrooms, not big chunks, but shaved, that is the difference between a chef and a cook. The Fish and chips were phenomenal, they use their own beer for their batter and you just need this in your life!

The runner-up was the charred green vegetables. Seriously, that sauce is CRACK! We could have eaten it by the spoonful! We also tried a variety of dumplings. The vegetable ones weren't our favorite, but the pork and chicken dumplings were delicious. The ravioli was rich and incredibly tasty, and the chicken katsu sandwich was HUGE and packed with flavor! Of course, we had to try one of every mocktail! They were all refreshing and delicious, but the mango was the clear standout for us. All in all, a fantastic meal with so many memorable dishes. We'd absolutely come back, especially for those pork belly burnt ends and charred greens! Service was friendly and fast. Inside outside seating available.

Our group was located in an annex room right of the main entrance and was the perfect size to fit all of us. We had 2 primary servers who did an excellent job of making sure we had full glasses and full plates. We did family-style sharing of some of their starters and main dishes. The Bread and Butter was really delicious and it looks like their butter flavor is on rotation daily. The duck wings had a peach glaze and nuoc cham and cilantro- great combination. The chicken vegetable dumplings had great skin and texture. The peppercorn salad was adorned with pickled cabbage, capers, maple coconut, crunchy chickpeas and more - it was amazing. We also tried the Thai basil risotto and it was good but I'd go with the peppercorn salad over this if you're sticking vegetarian. The final dish was Alberta AAA Beef Brisket accompanied by gochujang mashed potatoes and broccolini. The brisket was incredible and just melted on the tongue. And the beer/spirits here were impressive as well. BLAKE is a must-try destination while in Canmore!

Our server was very friendly albeit a bit frazzled, but the vibes were great all around. One of the best things about Banff Ave Brewing is that all appetizers are half off on Fridays (at least during happy hour)! They also have a nice selection of beers. Their flights are neat in that they offer 6 options instead of the more typical 4, so you can try everything you want to try. We had the nachos, poutine, and several beers. The poutine was a bit salty but the nachos were excellent, definitely get the beer cheese sauce as an add-on. I also got to try a special dragonfruit kolsch they had on tap, which was really mild and easy drinking as well. I'll definitely be back when I'm in Banff again!
