Can someone explain to me how Bloom Culture #2 from Cold Garden has won 2 awards this year? Looking for a serious breakdown as to why? What am I missing?

I've got around 70 growlers collected from across Canada and the US. We're now downsizing and don't have space to bring them with us. Anyone have any ideas for what to do with them beyond recycling, or who I can off load them too? Thanks

Establishment won. Also lots of love for Polyrhythm, Bent Stick, Ale Architect and Two Pillars

Been out of country and only managed to sneak into two house for their Festbeir Marzen so far these past two weeks. What else is out and about on tap or in can to take home?

Is there anything else they put in these beers? I had one tonight and I felt like I travelled to Mars. I understand it’s 10% but are there any drugs or something in it as well?

Bunch of cascade and centennial ‘bout ready for picking, probably be a good half+ grocery bag worth, in SE.

(Cowtown Yeast Wranglers’ FB doesn’t allow posts or I certainly would offer them there.)

Hey Gang,

Realized it hasn't been posted here.

DANDYFEST 2024!!!

The line up is pretty bonkers this year.

Last kegs ever in Alberta of Cascade and Small Pony Barrel works!

The only chance get your paws on Messorem (from Montreal) or Poney Sauvage Cider.

Twin Sails sent some exxxxtra secial Volcano King Double Milkshake IPA

We have a new bottle bar with bottles from Jester King, Dunham and more!

The music is top notch tooooo!!!!

Grab your tix if ya haven't yet! Its gunna be a banger!!!

Just out of curiosity does anyone know if the brewer from Outcast is at another spot now, or maybe just skipped town? I know they were apparently terrible at running a business, but I really do think they had some great beer.

Just saw this posted to Facebook, doesn’t sound good…

So my Inlaw had just mentioned seeing an interview with a brewer in Jasper that was set to open the day before the fire.. I hadn’t heard of another one opening so was kinda shocked.. is he right or is Jasper Brewery the only one out there..

seems pretty intensive, tho ive never been to Beaumont and never ever thought of wandering through it.

I have been in the Crowsnest area for work and the Rumrunner is carrying a beer called Toucans from a Fort McLeod brewery. It is sooo delicious but I can’t find it canned anywhere in Calgary. Anyone have a tip if they e seen this beer?

I know this is for Alberta beers, but this beer I am looking for is brewed in California any idea where I can find some?

After watching a few other breweries shutdown these past few months guess we should figure out who new has opened up the past few months

Calgary's got the tap room for boiling oar finally in the deep southwest and Buffalo 9 a bike ride up some hills from sunalta area breweries or a short walk from wild rose and vaycay/burwoods building. Also soon in bowness is Brewsmith's opening.

Bragg Creek has got Cowboy Trail Brewing that appears to be open.

Whats gone on the past few months in the rest the province?

Curious.. any discords for Alberta Craft Beer makers or other locations that y’all can point me in the right direction for help and conversation with other locals..

Are these two sharing a taproom? Or did Common Crown get bought?

I just recently got a growlerwerks 128 ounce growler as a gift. Does anyone know any places in Edmonton that have growler specials or cheap growler fills. It doesn't seem worth it for me to use if it's going to cost 60 bucks to fill.

I posed this on the r/Edmonton page so I apologize for any redundancy. I didn’t get a clear answer so maybe you experts could help out…

Are the owners of Polar Park Brewery as sketchy as social media suggested they were a few years ago? I recall seeing them close incredibly abruptly, leaving several brides in the lurch with absolutely no notice. Many of the Instagram comments on their page were filled with brides begging for answers or refunds but there didn’t seem to be a real resolution.

Fast forward and I see they have re-opened as if nothing had happened. So if anybody knows, a few questions:

• Are these the same owners?
• Are they sketchy?
• Did the weddings get refunded?

So many good breweries in Edmonton and I’d rather support those that support the community. That said, if they made things right I’d check them out for sure.

Went to check their hours to get a CO2 tank refill and Google Maps says they are permanently closed, their website doesn't work anymore either. This is really sad to see :(

I knew that Rapid Ascent had closed their taproom a while back, but I didn't realize they had also stopped brewing. That's a shame. Anyone catch when that end came?
