Bars to open early again for Calgary Stampede

It’s never too early to start slinging and sipping suds during the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth.

At least, according to the Government of Alberta. It has announced extended liquor service hours during the 2018 Calgary Stampede.

Bars, restaurants and lounges in the city have the option to start liquor service at 8 a.m. during the 2018 Stampede, from July 6-15.

Closing hours for liquor service are not changing and all other rules covering the service remain in effect.

The province also relaxed liquor service hours for the World Cup, allowing bars to start serving 30 minutes before a match starts.

The AGLC also allowed early alcohol service during the 2014 and 2016 editions of the Stampede.
