What's New at Big Rock

A New Beer

New in April, 1996 is Big Rock's Black Amber Ale. This smooth, dark ale has proved extremely popular and is now available in Alberta in draught and 650 ml. bottles. This is a perfect ale to sip and relax with or to share with a companion. A palate pleasing dark ale, generous in flavour, with a gentle roasted malt accent and slightly sweet overtone; carefuly hopped to give a smooth, aromatic finish. A robust, deep copper coloured ale.


Bigger Rocks

Big Rock now sells ales in large bottles - 650 ml. These Bigger Rocks should be served like a bottle of wine, shared between two, keeping cool beside the table in a bucket of ice. You will often see a Bigger Rock sitting beside the table in fine gourmet restaurants as patrons enjoy the pleasure of sharing a Big Rock Ale.


A New Facility

Big Rock is now constructing a new, state of the art facility in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Big Rock's capacity will increase from 150,000 HL (103,200 BBLs) to 450,000 HL (387,000 BBLs). This modern facility will ensure Big Rock's tradition of handcrafted, batch-brewed premium quality ales, but will allow for substantially larger production capacity. Big Rock ales will soon be available nationally in both Canada and the United States. Big Rock's continued growth is a reflection of our committment to quality, world-class ales. The new brewery will start production in the spring of 1996.


Big Rock Ales in Cans

A new addition at Big Rock's new facility will be the production of our ales in cans.

Why Cans ?

  • New technology developed in Europe, allows Big Rock to put unpasteurized beer in a sterile can with a food grade lining. Most European draft breweries are moving to cans to enhance prduct stability.
  • This technology will enhance the stability and taste of the beer.
  • Cans are a convenient package - perfectly suited to outdoor pursuits, camping, boating and golfing to name a few.
  • Cans are environmentally friendly compared to bottles and are fully recycleable.
