Edmonton & the Capital Region

Edmonton's oldest craft brewery, and it got there by surviving the two decades when Alberta craft beer was not a thing anybody believed in.

Operating 'The Monolith,' a highly advanced, purpose-built facility dedicated entirely to spontaneous fermentation and wild ales.

Artists and musicians building a following on unpretentious core beers. Not every brewery needs a barrel programme to matter.

Small, experimental and unusually well-regarded by other brewers — Bent Stick built its name on things other people wouldn't try.

Live music and a copper amber, in a city that has always supported a room where a band can actually play.

A modern lounge more than a taproom — Odd Company bet that Edmonton wanted somewhere to sit properly.

A south-side brewery with a real kitchen, and a white stout that gets ordered mostly out of curiosity and repeated out of loyalty.

Arcade cabinets, cartridge-era nostalgia and a solid IPA. Edmonton's most unashamedly themed taproom.
