Four core beers named for the owner's late rescue dogs (Elvis Salted Lime Lager, Friday German Pointer Pilsner, Sasha Rhodesian Red Ale and Zen Great Dane Stout) plus a Presley California IPA, small-batch sours and lagers, and a rotating Gracie Cider, poured at a dog-friendly taproom in Calgary's Beltline.
Four Dogs's packaged beer (HTS 2203.00.00, "Beer made from malt") and cider (HTS 2206.00.15, "Cider, fermented, whether still or sparkling") can no longer ship to the US: the US import ban on listed Canadian alcohol took effect September 29, 2026, after a 50% Section 338 duty on the same drinks from August 22, 2026. We found no public record of Four Dogs selling in the US.Source: whitehouse.gov, Sep 8, 2026

Made in Canada
The taproom is at "1205 1st SW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada, T2R 0V3", and the site says of the Presley pale ale "We brew a different style of Pale Ale for her each brew"; the local writer YYC Tours reported that the beers, once brewed off-site at other Alberta breweries, moved to an on-site brewery where the brewmaster is "now officially brewing their beers in-house".
