Big Rock Eddies
“I think it is safe to say that Big Rock Brewery makes Calgary’s favorite beer. Since the start, its customers have been its biggest promoters. Long before it became known as crowdsourcing, Big Rock thought up creative ways to involve those promoters in its brand.”
Stewart McDonough, Communications Specialist at Winsport Canada, sported his stylish Big Rock tee as he passed the torch getting the crowd super excited for the Vancouver 2010 Olympics.
Cheers, Stewart!

Thank you for giving us the gift of music.
We always say that when Noel isn’t busy shipping your beer he is busy making sweet tunes. Noel Johnson, Big Rock employee, has been busy indeed. He’s out there making it happen: booking shows, doing interviews and recently putting out a new CD.

Big Rock Untapped was created to build on Big Rock’s sponsorship of the JUNO Awards. The intent of this music program? To support Canadian artists who need a leg up to reach the next level of their career so that one day soon they may also be a JUNO Award nominee.
Michael Bernard Fitzgerald is an up-and-coming musical force to be reckoned with. Since his modest first show at a tiny folk club in 2005, this Big Rock Untapped artist vaulted to the heights of Virginfest 2009 and beyond. MBF is quickly outgrowing his hometown of Calgary. As a musician, MBF is known for rallying the music community and bringing them together.
Inspired by his Love and Manners show which combined Michael’s compelling songwriting and stage performance with a supporting group of 120 local dancers, singers and musicians, Michael Bernard Fitzgerald & The Loud Love Choir will draw on the Love and Manners concept by taking a choir of 25 along with MBF on a five city, six show tour of Western Canada. This choir will accompany Michael in the performance of his songs as their voices provide the musical beds behind his guitar and voice. The tour will showcase MBF’s song writing talent along with his keen musical ear to create a night of explosive and unforgettable musical entertainment.

Just over a year ago Shelagh McNally had a very interesting observation. She realized that if you stacked two hay bales on top of each other they took on the shape of a beer can. From that simple thought came an award winning idea that not only gets tremendous attention from drivers across the province, it also enables us to strengthen our relationships with the farmers that grow the world’s best barley for our beer.
Last week the Canadian Marketing Association announced that the Hay Bale Program won a Silver award at their 35th Annual Canadian Marketing Awards.
Congratulations to Shelagh, Karla, Curtis and all the farmers that have called and asked to proudly display a Big Rock beer can on their land for others to enjoy.
