Profile

Vaycay Brew Co. aims to deliver the vibe of great craft beer perfect for the occasion every time you crack one open. Sipping the Weekender or their Italian pilsner is meant to transport you to distant lands where great adventure, delicious food, and tasty drinks await. There is no mystery to this desire, as the brewery is located in Calgary, and while it’s pretty nice (we’re here!) It's not an Italian villa or tropical destination. So even better for all of us to be carried away on the flavour and experience of a great beer. Vaycay has opened up a taproom on the Currie Barracks in Calgary, inspired by the beach-side bars of Havana and serving up good food and great beer for all. With fifteen beers on the slate, this may be a true destination after all. The Crouching Tiger is an Asian-style Rice Lager. A crisp, clean, and refreshing beer with a pleasant mouthfeel, perfect for pairing with fish or spicy dishes. Serves well at 8°C and can cellar for up to six months.

Look

Pours a pale yellow colour with a hazy body and low carbonation. A frothy head of foam on the pour will snap and crackle its way to nothingness.

Smell

You’ll get the distinct sharp-edged malt of a rice-based beer when you sniff at this guy. There’s a touch of citrus and grassy hop profile floating around as well, but all very subtle.

Taste

Quite a mild flavour overall - you’re going to taste the grainy malt and a sniff of their hop profile, but this is a laid back beer that’s meant to crush thirst. Fairly smooth mouthfeel until the swallow is gone combines with the mild flavour to make this a perfect tool for pairing up with a variety of different dishes. Easy drinking, low ABV, great patio beer.

Pairing

It may be a cliche, but get into some sushi - it’s a great partner.
