Minhas Micro Brewery, founded by siblings Manjit and Ravinder Minhas, is a testament to entrepreneurial spirit and the craft beer movement in Calgary. The brewery’s journey began when the founders, then just 19 and 18 years old, started Mountain Crest Liquors Inc. (MCLI) with the intention of offering high-quality liquors at discounted prices. Their venture into the beer market came in 2002 with the establishment of Mountain Crest Brewing Company (MCBC). The flagship Mountain Crest Classic Lager was quickly embraced by consumers, leading to the brand’s expansion into a variety of beers, including craft and session brews, with the slogan ‘Damn Good Beer’ suggested by their customer base​.
