Bronc Beer - 50 Litre Keg

Bronc Beer is a popular, straightforward American Lager brewed by Last Spike Brewery in Calgary, Alberta. While Last Spike is a major player in the "partner brewing" space (producing beer for many other brands), Bronc is their flagship in-house label. It is marketed with a rugged, "Spirit of the West" identity—designed to be an affordable, high-quality alternative to national macro-lagers. It is a "no-fuss" beer made by Albertans, for Albertans.

Beer Description

Bronc pours a brilliant, pale golden hue with a crisp, snowy white head and tight carbonation that keeps the beer looking lively in the glass.

Aroma: The nose is clean, subtle, and classic. It leads with light scents of cereal grains and sweet pale malt. Unlike craft-heavy IPAs, there is almost no hop aroma, focusing instead on a neutral, "fresh-baked bread" profile that is synonymous with a well-made lager.

Palate: On the tongue, it is light-bodied and exceptionally smooth. It leads with a mild, grainy sweetness often described as biscuity or crackery with a very faint hint of corn-like sweetness that is characteristic of the American Lager style. The bitterness is minimal, providing just enough balance to ensure a crisp, clean finish with no lingering aftertaste.

Profile: It sits at a standard 5.0% ABV and a very low 15 IBU, prioritizing maximum "crushability" and refreshment.

Technical Notes: One of Bronc’s main selling points is that it is "adjunct-free," meaning it is brewed without the rice or corn fillers often used by massive international breweries to cut costs. It is brewed using 100% Alberta-grown barley, high-quality hops, and pure water, then subjected to a traditional cold-lagering process to achieve its signature smooth texture.
