The People Have Spoken: Tool Shed Brewing Co. Celebrates Summer of Culinary Excellence With Major Wins, Global Recognition, and a Naval Tribute
Here's what's brewing:
Voted People's Choice at the Calgary Stampede Cellar Uncorked, Tool Shed's bold Canadian BBQ offering won over 1,000 attendees and beat out 30 other invited top-tier chefs and their restaurants to take home top honours. It's a powerful nod to Tool Shed's grassroots culinary philosophy and commitment to approachable excellence.
"Are you kidding me? We competed against 30 of Calgary's top chefs and won — that's wild!" said Ally Reeves, General Manager of the Tool Shed Taproom. "This isn't your average BBQ. We've got a three-time world champ award winner in Graham Sherman, and Chef Nadia Zissis is throwing down some seriously next-level Canadian BBQ with a Southern twist. There's nowhere else you're getting food like this — it's unreal!"
Personally invited to serve their BBQ at the G7 Global Summit, Tool Shed proudly represented Canadian culinary excellence on the world stage, offering attendees, including delegates and world leaders a taste of our world class Alberta BBQ.
"As a proud Canadian, Albertan, and Calgarian, I can't imagine a greater honour than having our country choose us—and our passion for BBQ—to represent our city and province on the world stage at an event as monumental as the G7 Summit," said Graham Sherman, Founder and President of Tool Shed Brewing. "It's not just a reflection of our dedication—it's also a celebration of the incredible Alberta pork and beef we're so fortunate to showcase from this amazing corner of Canada."
In partnership with the Royal Canadian Navy, Tool Shed has brewed a special edition beer honouring the 30th Anniversary of HMCS Calgary. With $1 from every can sold going to the Legion Poppy Fund, the commemorative beer is a celebration of the ship's enduring legacy and connection to the Calgary community.
"This isn't just a beer—it's a tribute to HMCS Calgary and everything it represents," said James Costello, CEO of Tool Shed Brewing. "We're committed to supporting both active-duty members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their journey as veterans as they transition into the next phase of their careers. This partnership is one small way we can honour that service."
All this momentum leads to a fresh new chapter at Tool Shed: the launch of a completely reimagined taproom menu on June 24, featuring Canadian BBQ with a Southern influence —bold, approachable dishes designed to showcase Tool Shed's culinary evolution.
As Canada's Craft Brewery™, Tool Shed is proud to raise the bar for what it means to represent Alberta on the local, national, and global stage —one plate, one pint, and one powerful story at a time.

Canada-US trade talks resume after Carney rescinds tech tax
TORONTO, Canada: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney announced late on June 29 that trade negotiations with the U.S. have recommenced after Canada decided to abandon its proposed tax on American technology companies. U.S. President Donald Trump had previously halted discussions, criticizing Canada's intention to implement the tax as "a direct and blatant attack on our country." In response to the evolving trade situation, the Canadian government stated that it would withdraw the Digital Services Tax "in anticipation" of reaching a trade agreement. This tax was set to take effect on June 30. Following a phone call between Carney and Trump, Carney's office confirmed that both leaders agreed to resume negotiations. In a statement, Carney emphasized that "today's announcement will support a resumption of negotiations toward the July 21, 2025, timeline set forth during this month's G7 Leaders' Summit in Kananaskis." Carney had previously visited Trump at the White House in May, maintaining a polite but assertive demeanor. When Trump attended the G7 summit in Alberta, Carney noted that both countries had established a 30-day deadline for trade discussions. In a social media post, Trump indicated that Canada had reaffirmed its plan to move forward with the digital services tax, which would affect both Canadian and international companies interacting with users in Canada. This tax would impose a three percent charge on revenue from Canadian users on companies such as Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber, and Airbnb. It would apply retroactively, resulting in a potential US$2 billion bill for U.S. firms by the month's end. Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, described Carney's decision to retract the tax as a "clear victory" for Trump. He suggested that while this move could have been necessary for the trade negotiations, Carney's actions were a direct concession to appease Trump, which ultimately benefited both the White House and major tech companies. Discussions between Canada and the U.S. have also included the potential easing of substantial tariffs imposed by Trump. He has enacted 50 percent tariffs on steel and aluminum, as well as 25 percent tariffs on automobiles, alongside a 10 percent tax on imports from numerous countries, with the possibility of increasing rates on July 9 after a 90-day negotiating period.

Canada and Mexico are also facing tariffs of up to 25 percent initiated by Trump under the pretext of combating fentanyl smuggling. However, some products remain protected under the 2020 U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement established during Trump's first term.
