Erica O’Gorman is the co-founder and co-owner of the Annex Ale Project and Annex Soda Manufacturing, one of Calgary’s first microbreweries. She has helped to grow not only her own business, but the beer scene in Calgary as a whole as a co-founder of the Barley Belt, a collective of neighbouring breweries, distilleries, and cideries offering tours that have made Calgary into a go-to beer destination. Through their expansion, Annex Soda, they offer an adult soda shop featuring alcohol-free beverages for sophisticated palates, that can be enjoyed on their own or paired with liquor for those who don’t enjoy beer.
