Good for you that's going to be super exciting compared to your previous jobs I'm sure. I feel like brewing beer in Canada has a high success rate. We drink more beer than any other Country in the world after all.
The only recommendation I can give you would be to take advantage of existing brewery tours in Calgary. See how they operate and try to squeeze any trade secrets out of them. I've done the Minhas brewery tour which gives you an idea of what a smaller scale brewery looks like. I also heard about a bus tour that visits 4-5 different breweries in Calgary and is good fun.
Also, I feel like Canada is seriously lacking in Belgium style sweet tasting beers. Would be a great way to corner the female beer drinking market. I had a dark 8.5% Belgium beer that tasted like black forest cake. I feel like it would be a big hit in Calgary.
