Beer happy hour
in the Bow Valley.
Cheap pints, drafts, and craft brew deals during happy hour windows. 53 venues across Canmore, Banff, and Lake Louise serve beer specials.
The Bow Valley has one of the densest craft brewery scenes in Alberta. Between Canmore Brewing, Sheepdog, Banff Ave Brewing, and a long list of taprooms running après-ski hours, finding a sub-$7 pint isn't hard if you know when to show up. Most beer happy hours run 3–6pm and centre on house drafts, with weekend specials sometimes including imperial pours, mini-pitchers, and brewery flights. Patio season (May–September) usually means longer happy hour windows and outdoor-only deals at venues like the Drake and Tavern 1883. Winter months shift toward indoor-only après crowds, with most deals winding down around 6pm before dinner service ramps up.
