Quick Facts
- Big Rock Brewery was founded by Ed McNally in 1985.
- Big Rock is named for a local oddity - a huge 18,000 ton boulder sitting in a farmer's field and known to locals as the "Big Rock".
- Big Rock produces only top fermented, batch brewed ales.
- Big Rock beers have received world-wide recognition for their quality and taste. All of the beers produced are 100% natural, unpasteurized, pure malt, premium beers.
- Big Rock beers are unpasteurized and contain only malt barley, hops, water and the Brewery's own special yeast strain.
- Big Rock's current brewing facility is state of the art and is the most modern in North America.
- Big Rock beers are all micro filtered giving them the longest shelf life of any unpasteurized beer available on the market.
- Big Rock Brewery has the current capacity to produce 150,000 HL of beer annually. Initially our new brewery will be capable of producing 300,000 HL annually. When the existing plant is closed, brewing capacity will increase to 450,000 HL annually.
- Big Rock's Brewmaster is Bernd Pieper. Mr. Pieper was educated at the prestigious Doeman's Institute in Germany and brought 17 years of brewing experience (for Guinness in Africa and Lowenbrauin in Zurich) to Big Rock. He has developed all of the Big Rock products.
- Dirk Van Wyck, a Calgary artist, creates all of the the labels and packaging for our products.
- Big Rock's beers can be found throughout North America.
- Big Rock is the distributor for Guinness products in Alberta, Saskatchewan and the North West Territories.
- Big Rock beers range from 3% to 6% carbohydrates and 0.3% to 0.5% protein by weight, and 140 to 150 calories per 12 oz. bottle. They are an all natural product.
