The latest brewing creation out of Origin Malting and Brewing in Strathmore has a distinct hockey flavour to it. The Sutter Six Shooters lager, named after the famous six Sutter brothers who played in the NHL, is brewed with Alberta-grown barley from Hilton Ventures. Four-time Stanley Cup winner Duane Sutter says work on the lager started last July after the Sutter family decided they needed to find a new funding initiative for their charity.

Hilton Ventures Director and Origin Malting and Brewing President Sterling Hilton says the partnership brings together two families that have a long history in agriculture.
