Olds College Brewery - Olds, Alberta

The young lady working the counter was very knowledgeable on the student series beers, so I bought all of them to try. Not one of them was bad. All enjoyable beers. Every time I'm in Olds I try to support them with a purchase. Some of the beers were bold and I like bold beers, no risk no reward. Good work brewers!

Honestly thought I reviewed back in July when I first got in but I guess not. Finally after many years of driving by, because they have very limited hours as a teaching brewery, I finally made it twice this year. Definitely worth the stop. Excellent cores and almost always one or two student projects on tap. Very friendly and you might get lucky and have the chance to chat with a student on the patio. The only downside is no indoor seating so you can only quaff there less than half the year. However you can take home cans or have a fancy growler fill with their purge system. Worth the small detour off hwy2!

Had a great taster and got some beer to go. Super friendly staff! Will be back in summer to enjoy the patio.

In Olds for a short time during vacation. Was told about the College and the great little brewery and that it was open for people to stop by. Went in and had a delightful time with the lady in the retail store. She offered us samples and we tried everything on tap from a nice wheat beer all the way to a delicious brown ale. I think the Prairie Gold IPA was my favourite, but there were several delicious brews among them. The raspberry and the pomegranate beers were trendy and interesting but not really my style. The amber and brown ales were fantastic and we bought a few to take with us. Great experience that made me wish I could have taken a program like this in college all those years ago! There is merchandise for sale as well as the beer, which is available by six pack or in a growler. Stop by, learn a little, and leave a little happier!

Was lovely to visit my alma mater! The brewery is new. Quite a varied selection of craft beer. All very cutely/cheekily named and branded. Love the student submissions. The girl who served us was new and and absolute delight. She mentioned she was a children’s entertainer in the past. She is well suited to her post. Cute merch available as well. Thank you Olds Brewery!!

Beautiful day today to have a pint on our way to Calgary.

Stopped by and hubby had the "Orange is the New Blonde" (blood orange blonde) and I had the Grizzly Paw Black Cherry Cola, while enjoying a game of crib on the super cute patio.

Staff lady was super nice and energetic! Very helpful and enthusiastic.

Definitely will make a point of stopping here again!!

Went in and was offered a few samples, tried everything on tap at the time and loved the Hay City beer. The prices here are awesome, once you buy a growler you can pay up to $13 for a refill for 6 cans worth. The lady who served me was really nice and informative, she knew her stuff.

They have a big selection of cans and bottles in the fridge, as well as a wall full of memorabilia and clothing, good for gifts and showing your support for local education.

If I had one suggestion or request, it’d be nice to be able to sit down and have a drink, however, there selections are served next door and across town I believe, so it’s no big deal.

A fantastic little place that offers up some solid core beers and great unique takes on craft beer by the students.

They do not have a traditional tap room set up so if you're looking to sit down and enjoy a few head next door to Just Jacks.
