Canada, AB: Town Square Brewing softly opens in Edmonton

A new brewery and restaurant founded by three local young couples has announced its soft opening in Edmonton, Canadian Beer News reported on October 13.

Town Square Brewing has been launched by Megan & Brandon Boutin, Katrina & Tyler McNaughton, and Mellissa & Sterling Nordin, with Drew Sinden and Logan Dommett taking care of the brewing.

Located at 2919 Ellwood Drive, the establishment has been in soft launch mode for the last two weeks, offering growler fills and food including pizza, fresh pretzels, and other snacks during select hours.

The first three beers available include Forged Rye Amber Ale (5.2% abv), featuring “a complex malt flavour with spicy, biscuit and nutty undertones”; Cornerstone IPA (6.5% abv), with “a huge nose of citrus as well as a punch of grapefruit, orange and lime”; and 2919 Blonde Ale (5% abv), “a clean and crisp light ale that’s refreshing and easy to drink no matter the season.”

The official grand opening of Town Square will take place on the weekend of November 3rd-5th, at which point regular business hours will be confirmed. In addition, a portion of sales on select beers and pizzas will be donated to local charities.
