Bottlescrew Bills Calgary review

Bottlescrew Bills, Calgary, Alberta
Most restaurants in
The good pubs will offer tens of kinds of beer, such as Guinness, Kilkenny, Stella and the like.
But where, oh where, can you go when you want to go off the beaten path? You go downtown, of course, to Bottlescrew Bills.
Once the press club for Calgary media, this thriving bar features over 200 varieties of beer from around the world, which admittedly, is a little daunting. Where do you start?
Ahh, but they're clever. Long ago, a program was started called the 80 Beers Around the World Club. Originally requiring participants to quaff eighty brews in as many days, the tamer current version allows a full year to down the prescribed list of brew.
Anyone with hardy enough of a constitution to finish is immortalized on a plaque, hung on the walls for all to see.
So, if you're tired of the usual
fare and you want to try a
Windhoek Lager
from Africa, a terrifying 10% abv Crest
Super Lager from the UK,
or the delightful but confusingly-named McGregor Whisky from
Belgium,
go to Bottlescrew Bills at 140-10 Ave SW in Calgary and
sign up for a passport.
The lines are shorter than the
regular
passport office and, by the end of it, you'll have
seen the world!
