Bessie x Polar Park

We are back with another beer partnership that will compliment your Bessie order! We've partnered up with Polar Park in Edmonton.

WHY POLAR PARK?

Our team first became introduced to Polar Park through the Edmonton Startup Community. After a few conversations with Phil and taste-tests, we knew Polar Park would be the perfect Edmonton beer partner.

ABOUT POLAR PARK 

Polar Park Beer

Polar Park beers tell the story of the original Polar Park, also known as the Alberta Game Farm. The 500-hectare facility first opened in 1958 by Al Oeming, Robert's grandfather, and was home to 800 species and 3000 animals drawing thousands of visitors a day. Although animals living in captivity is not something that we support, Al was an early conservationist who shared his love for animals with millions of Canadians over the years. The memories made during the glory days of Polar Park are still talked about today.

A UNIQUE WAY OF BREWING 

Polar Park
Polar Park uses a 4-vessel 1938 Copper German Brewhaus. Having a 4-vessel system allows Polar Park to brew multiple batches in a day with relative ease. Most brewhauses today have a 2 or 3-vessel system where they combine the Mash/Lauter Tun & Brew Kettle/ Whirlpool Vessel, a 4-vessel brewhaus allows you to have one vessel for each step. Once one step is complete, Polar Park can go ahead and begin again with another batch of beer, not having to wait until an additional step is completed. Although they purchased the Copper Brewhaus primarily for its physical appearance, they believe the cast iron kettle adds a little extra flavour to Polar Park beers as well.
