Time on the oil rig gave a handful of friends the idea that maybe brewing tasty beer was preferable to standing out in the -40°C weather all winter long. So in 2017 they quit the oil patch and kicked their dreams into gear. It took about half a year to transform an old auto parts store into a craft brewing factory capable of putting out what they’d dreamed up, but with the help of a talented brewer and hard work, they made a go of it. Now they’ve got a handy little taproom in Sylvan Lake, Alberta, open seven days a week and serving up a dozen tasty brews on their taps. The Great Daylight Spectrum Pale Ale is a Collaboration between The Snake Lake Brewing Company and Red Hart Brewing outside of Red Deer. Big tropical fruit aromas thanks to a dry-hopped Red Shed Amber Malt. Serves well at 9°C and should be enjoyed right away.
