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
We're fortunate to be in the heart of one of the world's premier barley-growing regions. This gives us access to the best ingredients in the world - Alberta Malt, which forms the backbone of many of our beers.
We don't just make beer. We create experiences. We brew consistently fresh style-bending beers, all crafted for adventure!
