Born Brewery Company

Reviewed on July 10, 2020

At date of review, this brewery was called Born Colorado

In my glass this week, is the catchy named, and very tasty, Born Brewing Company Hi Cutie! Mint Raspberry Wheat Ale. Brewer and co-owner, Wade Brown, was born in Colorado and came to Calgary in 2012. He and Erin McQuitty started Born Brewing Company in 2018 making it the 4th brewery in the Barley Belt district. The location is a real hub with Cabin Brewing and Confluence Distilling across the street, and Paddy’s Brewery, Banded Peak, Annex Ale and Uncommon Cidery, within an easy walking distance.

The Hi Cutie! is a "collab beer" with Paddy's Brewery & Barbecue. What was supposed to be a one hit wonder caught on like wild fire, so it is now a staple summer seasonal. It tastes just as you imagine - mint, raspberry and wheat in perfect harmony.  It's on tap at both Born Brewing Company and Paddy's Brewery taprooms and the 4 pack cans are well distributed throughout Alberta.

If fruit beers aren't your thing,  Born Brewing Company has 9 other beers on tap at any one time.  One I'd definitely recommend is the Autumn Amber. It's crisp, toasty and a bit malty. It is one of their original core beers and a staple on their menu.
