It’s premium quality without pretense.

It’s elevated, but simple.

It’s timeless, not trendy.

It’s beer that belongs at the dinner table.

It’s Bread Water.

What is Landbier

Landbier is an old term that literally means “country beer,” and it refers to a beer that is brewed using a traditional brewing method while utilizing hyper-local ingredients and/or recipes. We are brewing a Czech-inspired landbier, which means we are using the highly respected Czech decoction mashing methods, but instead of using Czech grains, we’ve chosen to showcase Alberta barley.

Beer used to be a humble drink that people made in their kitchens. A household staple, part of daily sustenance, brewed by a matriarch by fermenting their family's bread recipe.

Alexa Gilker and Blake Enemark wanted to make a beer that honoured and returned to those roots.
