Polar Beer

Polar Beer | Kölsch 5%

Introducing Polar Beer, a small-batch Kölsch brewed in celebration of the arrival of the Wilder Institute/Calgary Zoo’s newest resident polar bears, ‘Baffin’ and ‘Siku’ and the opening of Wild Canada the Calgary Zoo on December 1st. As an Arctic Ambassador Centre, the zoo is committed to supporting polar bear conservation, drawing attention to the challenges polar bears face in the wild and inspiring action to help keep polar bears and people safe. A portion of the proceeds from Polar Beer will support similar urgent efforts to help protect other species at risk through the Wilder Institute’s Brian Keating Conservation Endowment.

Polar Beer is true to style, using Kölsch ale yeast fermented at cold temperatures, resulting in a brilliantly clear beer. Crafted with exceptional Alberta barley, this beer highlights Origin Malting’s Pilsner Malt, grown just steps from our Head Brewer's house outside Chestermere. The German noble hop Tettnang adds a touch of bitterness and aromas of pear, white wine, and subtle spice notes.
