Review from Chris P.
10/27/2010 1 Check-in Here
I took some clients here for lunch a few weeks ago. Other than a slight hiccup to get service when we first arrived, everything went well after that. Apparently our group was so large and they had to push some tables together and because of that two different sections were split between us so the staff had to figure out who was going to cover our table.
The food was fantastic. I went with a recommendation of the BBQ chicken melt and it was heavenly. It had just the right amount of sauce and the quantity of cheese melted on top didn't leave you feeling like you were over indulging.
The restaurant itself is a cool place. Kind of rustic looking but at the same time fresh and modern. Obviously there is a large bar at one end where they will be happy to pour you your favorite Big Rock brew. I would imagine that this would be an excellent venue to hold a company Christmas party or other large event.
Check this place out. It's always #BigRockOclock here! -

Big Rock Brewery is the big bad of Calgary's microbreweries, and let's be honest: It has retained its market share for a reason. In addition to crafting some house brews for a variety of other businesses, Big Rock makes solid, well crafted and well known beers.
I had the pleasure of getting a tour of the premises fairly recently, and it was an experience I won't soon forget. Although they have a ton of machinery to help with their craft, so much of it is still managed by real people. The 'compound' that the brewery occupies is pretty huge, but utterly awesome, and it was so cool to see the process of making some of my favourite brews step by step, but I was most impressed by their store house, which was like the cave of secrets, except instead of being full of gold and treasure it was full of cans and mini kegs, floor to ceiling and wall to wall.
Big Rock also sponsors the Eddies, a video competition that is pretty important to Calgary culture. I have good feelings about more than just beer everytime I order a pint of Grasshopper.
