Crafting Spirits with Community at Heart
Gnu Craft Spirits – a pint-size rebellion born in the drizzly depths of Calgary during the pandemic. They decided to turn the city’s bitter winter into an opportunity for gin, launching an award-winning London Dry, The Gnu Normal, that screams resilience and a stubborn love for community.
They insist on 100 % Western Canadian grain and natural botanicals – no synthetic additives, no pretentious mum-bling about “crafting” that sounds like a university lecture. The result is a citrus-forward spirit that tastes like a sun-burnt summer on a prairie, rather than the bland, mass-produced variants you’ll find in any supermarket aisle.
And while the distillery is tiny, its ambitions are massive. Proceeds fund local events, donations flow to nearby charities, and every batch feels like a toast to the people who made it all possible. So, pour a dram, ignore the cliche, and enjoy a genuine, honest gin with no pretence whatsoever today.
