Calgary's Craft Distillery & Collaborative Restaurant
We’re proud to bring our heritage of craft distilling to Alberta, showcasing local ingredients in every product we offer.
The Burwood Story
Take everything that makes Alberta unique. A history rich with farming, hard work and growth, then combine it with our love for traditional distillation techniques and an old-world attention to detail. Backdrop it with our pristine prairies, offering some of the finest ingredients in the world, and you have a recipe for some of the best spirits around.
The distillery got its start as an idea among friends, growing into something incredible along the way. Burwood Distillery is a celebration of Alberta’s agriculture and a nod to the generations of distillers that came before us. We love every single product we produce, and our intention is to get you just as excited about craft spirits as we are.

Built With You In Mind
Veranda is a collaborative taproom and spirit hall from Vaycay Brew Co and Burwood Distillery. Our home at The Stables on the Currie Barracks was built in 1936. This single-story building was one of Currie Barracks’ first structures and was home to the ‘B’ Squadron of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse Regiment. The building’s unique ‘K’-shaped design accommodated up to one hundred horses while the high ceilings, arrangement of windows and doors, and brick construction maximized light, airflow, and sanitation. Fast forward 85 years later, after the purchase of the Stables from Canada Lands, Burwood Distillery and Vaycay Brew Co moved in and converted one of Calgary’s most historic buildings into a functional craft beverage production facility. With a desire for real community connection, a partnership is born with a focus on premium spirits, craft beer, and local scratch food.
Our community is part of who we are. For us, local is a way of life. The barley, the honey — it’s all local. We like to know where our ingredients come from, and we know you’ll be excited to discover the story in each and every one of our spirits. We hand-crush every grain, scoop every ounce of honey, distill every drop and bottle it all right here in Calgary.
