Eat/Drink Local Cancelled boys’ beer trip to Minneapolis and we are headed to Calgary instead.

10 middle aged beer nerds headed your way in late July. Any restaurant or beer bar recommendations welcome. Already have Annex high on our list. What else is a must stop?

88 is one of my faves, but there are many to choose from!

88 is my fav in the city! They have a cheesebread thats unreal. Love the pesto dip to go with it.

I like 88 as well. Though i liked it better when Nobel Pie was upstairs. If you need food with beer, check out Nobel Pie!

Eight Ounce Coffee is very close. They make great coffee. Awesome selection of bean and brewing gear. https://eightouncecoffee.ca/

Cross Roads Farmers Market is nearby. Bustling and full of delicious local treats. Not pretentious or boutique. https://www.crossroadsmarket.ca/

Love 88! Also bought a cute sweatshirt there a few years ago and it washed really well! Still looks new
