Olds College Brewery

I went here today as I heard those beers were made locally by olds staff and students. After I entered the store, the lady, I believe her name is Jennifer, was very welcoming and started chatting with me and she also asked me if I wanted to try some sample beer. I for sure did. I tried all the samples, 6 or 7 types of beer from light to stronger taste. She also gave me a description of how this program runs at Olds College and how the students make beer there. What I learned was that the students not just learning how to make beer but also how to start a beer brewing business. I can tell she likes her work and very knowledgeable regarding this beer brewing olds program. I’m very happy with Jennifer’s welcoming, knowledgeable and for sure the beer quality as well! Definitely recommend them to people who are like me, like beer and like exploring new things!

In Olds for a short time during vacation. Was told about the College and the great little brewery and that it was open for people to stop by. Went in and had a delightful time with the lady in the retail store. She offered us samples and we tried everything on tap from a nice wheat beer all the way to a delicious brown ale. I think the Prairie Gold IPA was my favourite, but there were several delicious brews among them. The raspberry and the pomegranate beers were trendy and interesting but not really my style. The amber and brown ales were fantastic and we bought a few to take with us. Great experience that made me wish I could have taken a program like this in college all those years ago! There is merchandise for sale as well as the beer, which is available by six pack or in a growler. Stop by, learn a little, and leave a little happier!

Bottle and growler service only. Tasters on request and the beer selection is superb. The merch is pretty great and well priced. Worth a visit for sure

Was lovely to visit my alma mater! The brewery is new. Quite a varied selection of craft beer. All very cutely/cheekily named and branded. Love the student submissions. The girl who served us was new and and absolute delight. She mentioned she was a children’s entertainer in the past. She is well suited to her post. Cute merch available as well. Thank you Olds Brewery!!

Went in and was offered a few samples, tried everything on tap at the time and loved the Hay City beer. The prices here are awesome, once you buy a growler you can pay up to $13 for a refill for 6 cans worth. The lady who served me was really nice and informative, she knew her stuff.

They have a big selection of cans and bottles in the fridge, as well as a wall full of memorabilia and clothing, good for gifts and showing your support for local education.

If I had one suggestion or request, it’d be nice to be able to sit down and have a drink, however, there selections are served next door and across town I believe, so it’s no big deal.
