Brewery District | DIALOG

[archited]

Hmmmm... didn't know about that, @Daveography. Back in the day -- pre-onslaught-of-craft-beers when the choice was narrow (like Molson's or Labatt's), my beer of choice was "50". Today I try "Golden Road Pale Ale" (we designed their brewery and attached restaurant), Modelo Especial Lager, or Firestone (not the tires, although the taste brings up hints of burnt rubber). I was never a fan of Molson's (to drink that is), although they did provide lots of give-aways for a pub (The Roman Pub) that I owned on the South Side of Edmonton (63rd Avenue and 106th Street -- not so far from Southgate). Ahhh... those were the days! Anyway, I kind of always liked the garish "Molson" sign. It was a kind of place marker for the entire area west of downtown.

Still working on the old Brewery building.

It looked like there was a tenant in the little brick building on 121 St, but didn't catch what it was.

The Beer Castle is almost done.

I wonder what this is for...

Maybe it’s a new building for the strip mall.
(btw this is in Oliver square but it’s close enough)

 

[Daveography]

@Platinum107 Probably The Keg; I understood they were opening a new location here after closing the one in Old Strathcona.

FYI, we have the Misc Construction Projects thread for anything not related to a current building thread.

@Daveography Ok Thank you

I dislike intensely that flecked brick effect on the new buildings adjacent to the old. It lowered my overall rating from "Like it" to neither like nor dislike.

This whole area still just blows my mind. I once lived in the condos right across from this, Glenora Gates, when the Molson sign was flying high and you know they were brewing because the smell was inescapable! I never hung a clock on the wall because I could just look up out my window... Glory days!

The LRT travelling over 104 will be fantastic. Construction will be hell...

I was going through some old photos of signs that ether installed or removed in the past and I came across the final moments of the Molson sign.

 

[Avenuer]

Where did that sign end up?
