What’s on Tap? – High Line Brewing to Reopen with New Renovations Come September

After several months of off-sales only, Inglewood’s High Line Brewing is preparing to reopen their newly renovated taproom! 

Now in their fourth year of operation, HLB is nearing completion on a major remodeling project that will dramatically expand the brewery. “We used to have a 35-seat tasting room,” says Graham Dolce, Co-founder of High Line Brewing, “We are going from a tiny room with 6 tables, to a 105 seat music venue with 20 taps. It’s super exciting!” 

Located in lively Inglewood, Calgary’s oldest neighborhood, High Line Brewing fits in well with the surrounding unique arts, dining and shopping attractions. Now within walking distance of several other local breweries, High Line has been a part of the continually expanding craft brew industry in Inglewood since November 2016. 

HLB began as a venture between three work friends who were fond of backyard brewing. “We knew we wanted to start a brewery if and when the rules changed,” says Graham of the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission regulations regarding microbreweries, which were relaxed in 2013 to make owning and operating a brewery in Alberta far more attainable. 

Since then, the brewery has undergone a number of changes and updates, but one thing has always stayed the same – the commitment to high quality, local products that can be enjoyed by anyone. “We want beer drinkers in general to know the absolute breadth of the beer that is available to them,” says Graham, “at High Line, there is always something new in the tank.” 

The 20 beers available on tap in the newly renovated space will feature a rotating ensemble of 12-14 High Line beers, a number of guest taps from all across Alberta and Canada, as well as some non-alcoholic alternatives. The draught selection will be balanced with cocktail and wine menus, and light snacks are available for purchase in-house. Patrons are also invited to order from Without Papers Pizza in Inglewood, who offer free delivery to the brewery.  

As the industry in Inglewood has continued to expand, the sense of community among brewers has only gotten stronger. “It’s a much different vibe with craft breweries than Class A’s,” says Graham of conventional liquor-licensed establishments, “We all get along. We’re very tight with the breweries in this area for sure.”  According to Graham, it is becoming increasingly popular to see people making a day of touring the breweries in the area. With so many taprooms in such a close proximity, as business improves for one of them, they all benefit together. 

The owners of High Line Brewing are ecstatic for the remainder of 2020 as they prepare to reopen their doors in the coming weeks and debut their new and improved taproom. Graham is looking forward to eventually scheduling music and trivia events in their expanded space, and enjoying the remainder of the nice weather on their two outdoor patios.

Premier Danielle Smith hints Alberta may begin ‘path’ toward greater autonomy after Mark Carney’s win

Alberta’s premier said her government will be holding a special caucus meeting on Friday to discuss Alberta’s independence.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith hinted her province could soon consider taking serious steps toward greater autonomy from Canada in light of Mark Carney and the Liberal Party winning yesterday’s federal election.

In a statement posted to her social media channels today, Smith, who is head of Alberta’s governing United Conservative Party, warned that “In the weeks and months ahead, Albertans will have an opportunity to discuss our province’s future, assess various options for strengthening and protecting our province against future hostile acts from Ottawa, and to ultimately choose a path forward.”

“As Premier, I will facilitate and lead this discussion and process with the sincere hope of securing a prosperous future for our province within a united Canada that respects our province’s constitutional rights, facilitates rather than blocks the development and export of our abundant resources, and treats us as a valued and respected partner within confederation,” she noted.

While Smith stopped short of saying that Alberta would consider triggering a referendum on independence from Canada, she did say her government will be holding a “special caucus meeting this Friday to discuss this matter further.”

“I will have more to say after that meeting is concluded,” she noted.

Smith’s warning comes at the same time some pre-election polls have shown Alberta’s independence from Canada sentiment at just over 30 percent.

Monday’s election saw Liberal leader Mark Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who also lost his seat. The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, however, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader, for now.

In Alberta, almost all of the seats save two at press time went to conservatives.

Carney, like former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau before him, said he is opposed to new pipeline projects that would allow Alberta oil and gas to be unleashed. Also, his green agenda, like Trudeau’s, is at odds with Alberta’s main economic driver, its oil and gas industry.

The Carney government has also pledged to mandate that all new cars and trucks by 2035 be electric, effectively banning the sale of new gasoline- or diesel-only powered vehicles after that year.

The reduction and eventual elimination of the use of so-called “fossil fuels” and a transition to unreliable “green” energy has also been pushed by the World Economic Forum (WEF) – the globalist group behind the socialist “Great Reset” agenda – an organization in which Trudeau and some of his cabinet are involved.

Smith: ‘I will not permit the status quo to continue’

In her statement, Smith noted that she invited Carney to “immediately commence working with our government to reset the relationship between Ottawa and Alberta with meaningful action rather than hollow rhetoric.”

She noted that a large majority of Albertans are “deeply frustrated that the same government that overtly attacked our provincial economy almost unabated for the past 10 years has been returned to government.”

Smith then promised that she would “not permit the status quo to continue.”

“Albertans are proud Canadians that want this nation to be strong, prosperous, and united, but we will no longer tolerate having our industries threatened and our resources landlocked by Ottawa,” she said.

Smith praised Poilievre for empowering “Albertans and our energy sector as a cornerstone of his campaign.”

Smith was against forced COVID jabs, and her United Conservative government has in recent months banned men from competing in women’s sports and passed a bill banning so-called “top and bottom” surgeries for minors as well as other extreme forms of transgender ideology.

Hours after Liberal election win, Alberta Prosperity Project drumming up interest in referendum

News release from the Alberta Prosperity Project

Carney’s In. Now what?

You’ve been paying attention. You understand this is really bad. Worse than that, it’s dangerous. The country has somehow chosen several more years of a decade-long Trudeau Travesty…on steroids. Because this new Prime Minister has a three digit IQ, deep and questionable connections and a momentum to accelerate the further dis-integration of a nation we all once proudly belonged to. It’s untrue to say the country is dying. But it’s also not a stretch to say it’s on life support.

The era of Carney Carnage is here. While every province will experience it, there’s no secret he’s placed an extra big bulls-eye on Alberta.

It’s not personal, it’s financial.

His plan includes continuing to limit three of Alberta’s most prosperous sectors: energy, agriculture and, by extension, innovation. To acknowledge this requires we abandon our sense of romanticized national nostalgia. Nostalgia is a trap that prevents us from assessing the reality we exist in.

For instance, GDP is considered the financial heartbeat of a country. Over the past decade of Liberal Leadership, the national GDP has been an abysmal 1.1%. By relatable comparison, Mexico was 4%, the UK was 6%, Australia had 8% growth and the US was a whopping 19%.

That’s great information for an economist, but what does it mean to your pay cheque?

The everyday impact on the average Albertan —say, a teacher or mechanic— of 10 long years of 1% GDP means rent’s up at least 25%, a trip to the grocery store always stings, and driving an older car is the norm because an upgrade is out of reach. Does this sound like your reality?

We aren’t starving, but we’re not thriving, either.

Does this make sense for 4.5 million people living with the third most abundant energy deposits in the world? There’s an absurdity to the situation Albertans find themselves in. It’s akin to being chronically dehydrated while having a fresh water spring in the backyard.

The life you’ve invested for, the future you believed was ahead, isn’t happening.

If Alberta stays on this path.

So what can you, as an Albertan, do about it?

This Fall, we’ll be provided an opportunity. A life raft in the form of a referendum. It requires curiosity, imagination and courage to step into it, but the option will be there — a once in a lifetime shot at prosperity for you and your family: Alberta Sovereignty.

A successful bid means Albertans can finally paddle out of the perilous economic current that’s battered us for ten long years.

Alberta has the resources, talent and spirit of collaboration to create a prosperous future for our families and communities.
If you want your vote to finally mean something, if you feel you deserve more from your pay-cheque, grocery store visits and  need greater control over your family’s future, register your intent to sign YES to sovereignty now.
