Calgary, AB – Cheers to a new partner as we add Sunday Session golf cocktails to the PGA of Alberta’s tee sheet of suppliers.

Sunday Session, Alberta’s home-grown golf cocktail brand has been leading the way in Canada’s golf beverage scene since introducing the nation’s first canned Transfusion, and western Canada’s first Water Hazard in a can.

As part of this partnership, Sunday Session is also unveiling ground breaking, non-alcoholic versions of its award-winning Transfusion and award-winning Half & Half cocktails. Made with electrolytes instead of alcohol, these new “Recovery Cocktails” ensure that every golfer — from competing professionals to weekend enthusiasts — can enjoy a refreshing round, no matter their preference.

“Partnering with the PGA of Alberta is an incredible milestone for Sunday Session,” said John Eresman, Co-founder of Sunday Session. “We’re excited to align our premium ready-to-drink cocktails with the PGA’s mission to create the best possible golfing experience. Whether you’re celebrating a birdie with a Water Hazard or staying hydrated with a non-alc Recovery Transfusion, Sunday Session has an option for everyone.”

Sunday Session has been sampling its products at PGA of Alberta Golf Show, PGA of Alberta Buying Show and at member functions over the last year. They will be sponsoring the highly-anticipated PGA of Alberta Awards Cocktail Reception, giving you a chance to sample their entire line-up this October.

About Triple Bogey Brewing Co…
Founded in 2014 by Geoff Tait (the guy who brought you Quagmire Golf) and wife Megan, the Triple Bogey Brewing Company has come a long way since cracking and crushing that very first can. The company has seen year over year growth, surpassing 3 million cans sold in 2021!

2022 was Triple Bogey’s biggest year to date. The brand’s unique brand of beverages are served at over 400 Golf Courses and in excess of 800 locations; including bars, restaurants, indoor golf facilities, driving ranges, LCBO and Grocery outlets. Alongside their family of refreshingly original favourites, the debut of Half & Half Hard Lemonade & Iced Tea crushed all expectations, proving history can repeat itself.

Triple Bogey offers 3 year round full flavoured Lagers (Blonde, Light, Amber) in addition to a Non-Alcoholic option. Hard Lime Seltzer entered the mix in 2020, while Half & Half Hard Lemonade & Iced Tea made its crazy popular debut in 2022. And let’s not forget the seasonal brew Hurry Hard!, for those winter crazed curling enthusiasts.

Headquartered in Toronto and brewed in London Ontario, Triple Bogey is locally concentrated but with demand at an all-time high has established distribution partners across Canada and begun to find the fairways (and more friends) in B.C., Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
