The Keg – Billy Miner Pie
Mocha, fudge, and almonds? The Keg’s Billy Miner Pie is stupid good. Fun fact, Billy Miner was Canada’s first train car robber, considered the ‘Robin Hood’ of his time. There, this list is just as educational as it is delish.

Cold Garden – Birthday Cake Lager
As a general rule, no one should have to pay for a single drink on their birthday. Cold Garden is up on their common courtesy. And no, we promise their Birthday Cake Lager does not taste like cake! Because icing has no place in the brewery.

CRAFT – Age Discount
So this one isn’t free, but it was just too good to leave off the list. CRAFT Calgary is a free spirit. They do “birthday” a bit differently. Here, ageing actually has its benefits! When you go to CRAFT on your birthday, they’ll subtract your age as a percentage off of your bill. Pretty cool, hey? The older the better!
