Workshops
BBQ & Beer Education - Great GiftsOur core values include transparency and education. One way we get to demonstrate those values is through fun workshops and learning activities held at our 58th Avenue Calgary Brewpub. These workshops make great holiday gifts for loved ones, as well as great corporate team-building activities (private bookings available for events, see our Event Bookings page for how to reach out). We schedule brisket and beer workshops throughout most of the year, except during the summer when most people are holidaying and enjoying the outdoors.

Brisket Workshops
If you’ve always wanted to know how to smoke meat, this workshop is perfect for you!
Join Prairie Dog Brewing and Knifewear for this Calgary workshop. You’ll learn all the tricks and techniques, from trimming the brisket to wrapping, slicing and serving PLUS an introduction to Japanese knives and a knife skills lesson with our friends at Knifewear! You’ll learn all about Clifford the Big Red Smoker and smokers in general (Clifford is the largest indoor smoker in Canada!), plus much more information on smoking meats. At the end of the day, you’ll get to take home a prepared brisket, coleslaw and pico de gallo prepared by you PLUS a knife of your choosing from Knifewear’s pop up shop the day of the event using an included $200 credit.
