Sawback Brewing Competitors

Everything we do at #OldsCollege is done to advance all aspects of the agriculture industry. All of our programs and actions align with our social purpose. It is the why behind everything we do. By transforming the agriculture industry, we will make the world a better place.

Founded in 1985 by Ed McNally, a retired lawyer and barley farmer who had a vision to create a craft brewery long before there was even such a term, we are now proud to have breweries in Vancouver, Calgary and Ontario – making us one of Canada’s largest, independent, true craft brewers. Dedicated to brewing quality craft beer, cider and ready to drink beverages and growing the communities we are a part of, our Brewmaster’s make beer with skill and imagination, utilizing local ingredients and innovative processes, all rooted in Ed’s original passion for excellence. We are always looking to bring passionate supporters of craft beer along with us on our journey. Our team enjoys competitive salaries and benefits, but more importantly comprises a group of people who have the opportunity to grow their skills and be creative. Our people feel constantly challenged as we strive to expand our horizons, both literally (such as with new bricks and mortar) and figuratively, as we experiment with rare and novel brewing techniques and unusual ingredients.

A small brewery with a scrappy spirit, Alley Kat is Edmonton’s longest running micro-brewery. Our aim is to introduce beer lovers to great craft beer. We brew five standard brands of beer that are available throughout the year in six packs of 341ml bottles and draught. They are Aprikat, Main Squeeze, Scona Gold, Full Moon, and Amber. These beers are supplemented by seasonal offerings packaged in 650ml bottles. We market our beers throughout Alberta.
