Edmonton's craft beer scene has taken flight and is ready to start competing with major beer markets across Canada. Next time you are thirsty in Alberta, here is a list of Edmonton Craft Breweries that you'll want to visit. For a complete list of Edmonton Breweries visit our Edmonton page here.
You can see the changing of the guard in Edmonton from the old school brewery model that had been in charge for the past century to new school smaller craft breweries with unique character.
The new school breweries have a wide range of beer and show off their own unique flair and style.
Opened in Fall 2017 town square has a daily "Roasted malt snack mix" you won't want to miss. With a selection of their own taps and a couple of guest taps, plus a full kitchen, it's a good mix for a Friday afternoon.
Bonus points for the brewery's tasting room windows which give you a full view of the brewing area.
With a full menu and a bar area that is not easily duplicated, this downtown brewery is centrally located and easy to get to. Full tasting bar, kitchen, and growler fills.
Taking the top spot for Brewpub patio in Edmonton is surely Blind Enthusiasm. You'll love this laid back atmosphere and great beer. Full brewpub style brewery.
Located around the corner from Sea Change, perfect for your walking brewery tour this Saturday or Sunday!
Videogames and great people, need I say more? Feel free to ask about ordering skip the dishes and you can sit and play video games (As long as you are order drinks!).
Great beer and a real sence of community. Order a sandwich and try a few potato chips. Stay a while and kick back.
Located just north of the city. Every beer here has a great adventure story to go with from the owners.
YellowHead has one of the most unique, fishbowl windows when looking in from the outside. Centrally located it's worth stopping by before a weekend Oilers game. (Ensure you check their hours of operation before heading over!)
One of the oldest Breweries in Edmonton but with one of the biggest selections of beer. Alley Kat has a license that isn't quite a full tasting room but you can stop by for 4-8 small tasters and buy some beer to go. Bring a Growler, for the tasting bar and buy a tee-shirt.
With multiple locations across Edmonton, Brewsters is becoming a large player in the Edmonton brewpub and beer markets. The cool sports bar atmosphere might be just what you are looking for to watch the game!
