Since its beginnings in 1994, Alley Kat Brewery has followed the path of creating tasty, freshly brewed beer with high-quality, locally sourced ingredients. Sample the exquisite flavors of the natural products, made without stabilizers, preservatives or pasteurization. Alley Kat is the fourth-oldest brewery in Alberta, helping to establish and maintain a strong micro-brewery presence in the province.
While Alley Kat has the capacity to produce millions of bottles of beer annually, each brew uses a small batch process to ensure consistent quality while creating distinctive and interesting beers.
Wheat is king in Edmonton and gives hearty flavor to the brewery’s fruit beers. When you try apricot wheat or grapefruit wheat ale, be sure to smell the authentic aroma and taste the distinctive fruit flavors.
The brewery’s kolsch, brown ale and pale ale are other popular favorites. Find out what seasonal beers are available during your visit, as the brewers frequently experiment with other flavors, such as hemp, spruce, coffee, ginger, caramel and chili.
Alley Kat is a great place to visit with friends for a pint of beer during the day or after work or while sightseeing in the city. It’s also an informative destination for a brewery tour. Learn about how beer is brewed from starting ingredients of hops and malt to flavors captured in a bottle. Join an in-depth tour led by brewery workers in the spotless setting and observe the complete process, including the fascinating automated line of the on-site bottling machine.
Tours are offered several times daily and include a seasonal tasting, the facility visit, a pint or flight after the tour and an Alley Kat branded glass. Reserve your spot by booking a tour online or calling the brewery.
