From Substation to Sensation: True Wild Distilling Electrifies Calgary

Historic Distillery and Event Space Opens in Calgary

True Wild Distilling has transformed one of Alberta’s earliest electrical substations into a distillery, restaurant and event space, officially open to the public on November 19, 2024.

Situated inside a meticulously restored heritage building with historic, industrial and art deco elements, True Wild Distilling boasts multiple event spaces, a restaurant and an experience centre that will allow guests to take a peek into the distilling process through venue-hosted tours and tastings – all with plenty of free parking.

The venue, featuring a picturesque outdoor patio with fire pits, city skyline view and semi-private mezzanine, is perfectly suited to host unforgettable events such as weddings, private parties, corporate events and VIP tastings. A fully private, second-story area equipped with its own bar and sparkling ten-foot chandeliers will provide stunning backdrops for every occasion.

From sophisticated gins to bespoke Canadian malt whisky, True Wild is leading the charge of a new era of distilling in Canada. Available upon opening are Breaker Box Gin, Breaker Box Vodka and Roper’s Hold Whisky. Those awaiting the upcoming True Wild Whisky, which sits between a Scottish malt and American single malt, will need to be patient for the next few years as the spirit ages in-house. The end result will be worth the wait, though, as the anticipated “new whisky of Alberta” promises to be unlike anything seen in the city to date.
