With over 700 beers from more than 200 breweries, Calgary is home to one of Canada’s largest beer festivals — checks out, since it’s surrounded by never-ending wheat and barley in almost all directions. Sip new brews, learn to cook with beer or take in the live entertainment with a cold one in hand. The event format may change as a result of COVID-19 restrictions, so check the event’s website before heading out.
