I went through my old posts to see when I posted here about getting into the beer business and was surprised to see that it was close to three years ago when I posted it. So, after a lot of work I can say that we finally have our own brewing company and have beer on the shelves of select liquor stores across the province.

We've changed our business plan a few times to adjust to not only the beer market but the provincial market as well, with that said we are currently contract brewing and do not have our own brick and mortar brewery yet. It is truly a family business with no outside investors at this time and I still have my day job as well so it makes for a busy work week and doesn't leave much time for browsing Calgary Puck. We had just brewed our first batch of beer when Covid started creeping out of China as luck would have it, so we have been unable to market our product other than through social media and word of mouth. We had one tasting at Collective Craft here in Calgary before everything shut down. With that said, sales have been steady and our second beer will be available come July. We're on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram for anyone interested. Feedback is also appreciated.

So with that said, and in an effort to further shamelessly promote our business, I wanted to introduce you all to Buffalo 9 Brewing Co. Being the military history keener that I am, we have molded our brand around Canadian Military History with an effort to keep people remembering our past and maybe learn a little bit as well.

Our logo is our representation of the cap badges the Canadian Expeditionary Force wore in the First World War. Our name pays homage to 9 Canadian Peacekeepers who died when their DeHavilland Buffalo aircraft was shot down over Syria in the early 70s. And our beer labels each tell a cool story, not only about our military history but stories that my wife and I have a bit of a connection with.

Here is our logo:

Here is our first beer that is currently on store shelves, a tasty IPA with Tangerine and Grapefruit notes:

And for those of you who aren't into IPA's, here is our Pilsner that will be out in early July...its a German style Pilsner, crisp and clean flavor.
