The Veranda At The Stables food menu is wide-ranging and was designed by founder, brewer and executive chef Andrew Gass, who took his love of cooking to the Olds College Brewing program. The space itself is large and located in a former military stable. Much of the original architecture, materials and finishings remains untouched. Since Vaycay opened in Spring of 2023, it seems to be getting busier and busier everytime we stop in. Unlike some breweries in Calgary, Vaycay is a very inviting, comfortable and relaxing place to sit for an afternoon and have a few brews. The vibe is very laid back and a true melting pot of food, drinks and people. The host and greeter was in a three piece suit, a server was in baggy jogging pants and the bartenders wore standard black. The clientele was also very diverse from guests sitting at the bar to watch the game, to families having large meals in the corner and birthday parties renting out one of the large spaces that Vaycay offers. To us, a true craft brewery is a spot where the community comes together in a friendly and non-judgmental place, and Vaycay fits that bill nicely.
