Calgary International Beerfest

There are very few things that can rival the taste of a great beer; so what would be better than spending a weekend surrounded by them? Well Calgary International Beerfest will be bringing the worlds greatest beers right to our fingers at Canada’s largest beer festival!

If you are like us and enjoy a cold one make sure to check it out on May 3rd - May 4th 2024 at BMO centre, Calgary.

WinSport Servus Tube Park

Flying down a hill on a make-shift tube dodging your neighboor Kyle is a core memory of many Albertans, so why not experience this one more time by taking a trip towards Calgary to take part in Winsport’s Servus Tube Park. It may be open for now but operations are bound to close in the next couple of months as we transition from cold season (winter) to slightly less cold season (spring).

There is no better time than the present to enjoy hunting down your neighbour Kyle so i’ll see you on the slopes.

Dinosaurs at Telus World of Science

For all my dinosaur enthusiasts out there, Edmonton’s Telus World of Science has just recently opened a new exhibit on March 23rd. If you stop by you will get the chance to explore the facinating world of paleontology, by discovering skeletons and gaining a new found understanding of what these creatures once looked like.

If you missed out on the opening weekend don’t worry this exhibit wont be going anywhere so make sure to check it out.

Whats Up In Alberta?

Planning a day trip to Alberta’s Waterton Lakes National Park?

Well you might want to rain check that idea as Parks Canada will be closing Waterton’s lakes. This is due to an ongoing effort to slow the spread of an invasive species that have been spreading in the area.

All non-motorized watercraft from outside park boundaries will not be allowed into Waterton Lakes National Park indefinitely starting April 1st.

Restaurant Recommendations

Edmonton: The Next Act Pub

If you are looking for an exellent burger there is no better stop than The Next Act Pub. However, it doesnt just stop at burgers, they have a wide range of Edmonton-made beers to choose from. With its classic but unique style you can expect a welcoming staff and great environment.

For these reasons we can’t help but recommend this spot as a go to in the area.

Calgary: Peppino

There is nothing better than a family run italian sandwhich shop, which is why we had to recommend Peppinos. For the last 19 years Peppino has been making sandwiches that have consistently been top notch; from pizza subs to vegitarian options you will never run out of choices.

If you are in town make sure to check out one of their 5 locations!
