    • News

We are all citizens. That’s the motto that encompasses everything you need to know about Citizen Brewing Company. In this episode on Your Neck of the Woods Jason and I continue our series highlighting local business stories as we go behind the mic with Joel Field head brewer at Citizen Brewing Company, a Calgary craft brewery and pub that prides itself on social responsibility and offering something for everyone.
With a background in biochemistry, brewing beer seems natural for Joel even if he started out selling speakers. If you have an interest in craft beer this episode is definitely for you, you’ll definitely learn a lot about beer and brewing. Joel and the production team at Citizen pride themselves on offering something to everyone’s taste while producing the varieties craft breweries have come to be known for.. in a similar vein Citizen offers robust vegetarian options in its pub fair, alongside seasonal and special brew offerings such as those around Pride or in support of people with MS.
We recorded on International Women's Day which was a special day at Citizen part of their proceeds went to the Pink Boots Society which exists to assist, inspire, and encourage female beer professionals through education. This emphasis on giving back extends to the brewing process as well Citizen gives their spent grain a second life, they donate all spent grain to local Biodynamic farms and small animal farms such as pigs and chickens. In addition, they’ve teamed up with 250 breweries to donate profits to clean water charities.
Jason and I have talked about supporting local for a long time especially as we continue to recover from the pandemic and Citizen is a fantastic place to do so! They have food and drinks for everyone to enjoy and do everything they can to make Your Neck of the Woods a better place!
