Hawk Tail Brewery — Restaurant in Alberta

Choice of 4 beers.... Summer Ale; low alcohol(3.5%), VERY refreshing. Something I would enjoy on a hot summer day, working in the backyard. Amber Ale; tasted more like a stout than an ale, HEAVY on the roasted malt. Not sure what the brewmaster was trying to say with this one. Pale Ale;..sigh,....had high hopes for this one, what with all the micro brewery offerings I've sampled this year...such a letdown ! Could not even get the slightest hint of hops, which is what pale ale is all about. Such a disappointment.

Back they went to be cooked again, another 40 minutes later they arrived, cooked through this time but barely a hint of smoke. No apologies, just excuses about the person that smokes the meat elsewhere must have screwed up.

Overall, this is a nice patio with some drinks if you are a...

I was passing through for work and had wanted to call in for some time. I was working the next day so only wanted one beer and something to eat. Couldn't decide on a single beer so had a flight. All the beers I tried were excellent and prices were what you'd expect. While the food I had was fine (I had the smoked chicken) what I really wanted was something a bit more normal like fish & chips or a burger and fries. Sadly they didn't have anything like that on the menu which is a shame as I'd like to go more often when passing through but the menu didn't really have anything on it I...
