our story
Banded Peak opened in 2016 with a passion for making beer taste as good as it does on a mountain top.
Based in Calgary Alberta
Our brewers have access to some of the best raw materials in the world - Alberta Malt, which is used in the majority of Banded Peaks brews. Banded Peak has an ever-expanding collection of beers that challenge the traditional styles, including five Core beers - available all year-round, multiple seasonal beers, and dozens of one-off launches every year.

Ever wondered what goes down behind the taps? Join us every Saturday for an exclusive Brewery Tour Experience that takes you behind the scenes of our state-of-the-art production facility.
Our team will take you through an in-depth tour of our brewery as you learn about the entire brewing process behind crafting our signature beers, plus a tasting of 6 of our craft beers. From crisp ales to robust stouts, each pour tells a unique story of flavour and character.
