Origin Malting & Brewing Co. Ltd (Craft Beer & Brewery in Strathmore AB)

Origin Malting & Brewing Co. Ltd sits in Strathmore, Alberta, and has quietly become a staple for locals seeking solid craft beer without the pretentious fluff. Founded by Kyle and Meleah, the brewery offers a modest yet thoughtful lineup: the Origin O.G Pub Ale, the Legal Issues Scottish Export Ale, a crisp Gose, the tropical‑hinted #6 IPA and even a Hard Iced Tea that proves beer can masquerade as a refreshing tea on a hot day.

The taproom exudes a relaxed, homey vibe; reviewers praise the friendly service and the comforting hum of conversation. A permanent BBQ food truck—Hunger Paynes—serves everything from a buttery double cheeseburger to a smoked brisket burger that, according to patrons, rivals the best steakhouse fare. Hand‑cut fries, homemade gravy and a creamy dill dip round out the menu, all priced sensibly.

Beyond the ale and the grub, Origin embraces the community with weekday deals, promotional hats and a willingness to host repeat visitors who claim some of their best memories were made there. The combination of reliable beers, hearty food and a welcoming atmosphere makes the brewery a noteworthy stop on any Alberta itinerary.
