For every hop, chop, steak, and sip, and everything in between, Alberta producers have stories to tell. Each month we bring you stories from local restaurateurs, entrepreneurs, brewers, bakers, spirit-makers, farmers, ranchers, and more. We've also got monthly picks for spirits, and a baker's dozen of bottles in Making the Case. Still want more? Check out Salutes and Shoutouts, Et Cetera, and Open that Bottle in every issue of Culinaire Magazine.
