BUENA VISTA
BROWN ALE
Inspired by the countless amazing views in Alberta, we named our Brown Ale, Buena Vista!
Our brown ale recipe has not changed. It is still a hearty, London-style brown ale, traditionally hopped with US Goldings hops. It serves as a refreshing all-purpose beer for those who enjoy dark ales.
The major thing to note for Buena Vista Brown Ale is the emphasis on the malt. That doesn’t mean we don’t use any hops though. We brew Buena Vista with Goldings to add a light floral hoppy note to the taste.

We renamed our brown ale in 2016! Previously known as Amber Brown Ale, we wanted a name that meant something to the people at Alley Kat.
Inspired by the countless amazing views in Alberta, as well as our old brewery dog Jake's favourite dog park in Edmonton, we decided on the name Buena Vista. A fitting name for a beautifully smooth and inviting brown ale.
