our story
Banded Peak opened in 2016 with a passion for making beer taste as good as it does on a mountain top.
Based in Calgary Alberta
Our brewers have access to some of the best raw materials in the world - Alberta Malt, which is used in the majority of Banded Peaks brews. Banded Peak has an ever-expanding collection of beers that challenge the traditional styles, including five Core beers - available all year-round, multiple seasonal beers, and dozens of one-off launches every year.
