Buffalo 9 Brewing Co. (Craft Beer & Brewery in Calgary AB)

Buffalo 9 Brewing Co. sits in a lovingly restored post office in Calgary, Alberta, and tells a story of honour and heritage with every pour. Founded by Lane and Kelsey, the brewery weaves family roots, wartime letters and the memory of the 1974 fallen peacekeepers into its lineup, most famously the Canadian Cold Golden Lager named “Dear Aunt Emma”. Reviewers praise the pale ale, the crisp cider and an upcoming red that promises to be a show‑stopper.

The taproom balances a military‑inspired décor – wall art that recounts war stories, furniture echoed in uniform colours – with a laid‑back atmosphere. Comfortable seats, darts and a background soundtrack keep conversation easy, while picnic tables invite summer gatherings. Trivia nights, paint days and occasional live bands give the place a community‑centric pulse, and a discount programme shows respect for veterans and first responders.

Food is a flexible affair: patrons may bring their own meals, and weekend food vendors add variety to the experience. Clean facilities, friendly staff and a welcoming vibe make Buffalo 9 a place where craftsmanship and community raise a toast together.
