Eighty-Eight Brewing Co. is inspired by Calgary’s 1988 Olympics, so it’s not surprising that the brewery is supporting Canadian athletes working their way towards the Paris Olympics and Paralympics in 2024. The brewery recently launched a beer called Personal Best, a small hazy IPA whose proceeds will help three athletes: Nikola GoncÌŒin, Alison Jackson and Kasia Gruchalla-Wesierski. Try it on your next visit to the taproom.

Nan’s Noodle House has an eye-catching feature burger that you can try in November. The burger’s purple appearance is thanks to an ube pandesal bun, which is filled with a longganisa patty, slaw and banana ketchup aioli. The fact that the plant-based burger comes with a side of sweet potato fries as well makes this a great lunch or dinner option this month.
