Edmonton Breweries & Brewpubs

Well they did re-do 99th St in the Summer of 2000, just in time for the 2001 Track and Field games held at Commonwealth. New planters in the middle of the street, all of which have come and gone about a dozen times - nothing seems to grow in that road...lol.
 
Nothing to get too excited about but there will be bike infrastructure (bike lane from 83rd ave to 79th, shared pathway 76th-79th) added on happy beer street, 100th ave:

This along with improvements to 76th ave through their renewal should increase visibility and make it a friendlier to get to.

There is an interesting discussion in that, these breweries popped up here partly due to the gritty, industrial vibe and cheap rents. Wonder what will happen to the rents when everything is a bit nicer around there - Though the trainyard isn't going anywhere lol.

Beer Street Entertainment District Survey

The City of Edmonton is dedicated to supporting a vibrant and inclusive business community. We’re exploring the creation of an Entertainment District on 78 Avenue, between 99 Street and 100 Street (in the area known as Happy Beer Street). This Entertainment District would allow for the extension...

I took the survey. Although I told them I'll be at this new Entertainment District with bells on, I did explain to them that Happy Beer Street is an industrial hellhole that most people pass by between downtown and south Edmonton.

Imagine if we brought this back in its original location top of bank overlooking the city as a destination brewpub with patio!

Also took it and said the same thing. Sidewalks in that area need to be Improved. But approving this application should be a no brainer. Such a neat little pocket of the city.
 
Can’t say I endorse this expansion of our beloved quirky local beer proprietor to YYC. But hey, now it’s our turn to ram our beer down their throats just as Brewsters did up here and along with all of their other shitty beer, ie, Wild Rose, Brewsters et al. The ONLY YYC beer I sanction is Big Rock cause they’re the OG of craft brewing in AB.

It has recently seemed to be more common to have things from YYC coming here, some of which are ok and some of which are not. Does something get lost on the drive up, or do they think they don't have to work as hard here?

However, it is and always should be a two way thing, so it is good to this Edmonton business expanding to there.
 
The old Brewsters location in Unity Square is or has been turned into offices rather than a new and vastly improved restaurant from what Brewsters was “calling food and beer.” Found this out at the Drunkfest at the Convention Center on the weekend. I asked all of the micro brewers there and most of them said they would have loved to get their hands on this location for expansion purposes
