OK, I'm persuaded by Peter Cruise's discussion of Canadian beer and have decided to forego swimming at USMS Nationals this year. Instead, I'm off to Calgary to try the Canadian Nationals.
So here's the challenge to all you Canadian Forum users: where are the good local brews in Calgary? By local, I mean that it can't cross Province lines & doesn't come in cans.
I'm staying near the pool & won't be driving. So, I need some suggested locations within staggering (er, walking) distance of the hotel.
If some swimming gets done that's fine, but I'd like to come home with a good beer experience. Right now I'm starting my beer taper (nothing but 3.2 in very quick shots - the high intensity, low volume theory) until the Champs.
Any help would be much appreciated.

No, no, Mel- good Canadian beer comes from British Columbia, not Alberta. You may find Okanagan Springs (many different varieties) or even better, Black Bear Ale from the Kootenays available in Calgary. Too bad I'm on the shelf right now or I'd introduce you to them personally. You may find Calgary too low in altitude for you though.
