Southbound Brewing (Craft Beer & Brewery in Edmonton AB)

Southbound Brewing sits on 69 Avenue just west of 99 Street, the strip locals call “Happy Beer Street” in Edmonton, Alberta. The venue is brand‑new, offering a modest lineup of an IPA, a wheat ale and a blonde, with plans to expand as the operation grows. The space already feels like a long‑standing community pub, thanks in part to Sue, a former operator of The Empress Ale House, whose experience gives the place an air of seasoned hospitality.

The interior boasts eye‑catching décor and a patio that reviewers praise as “adorable,” while the staff are described as hilarious and genuinely knowledgeable about every brew on tap. Beer lovers can expect reliable experimentation; the selection, though limited, is said to be “outstanding” and satisfies a wide range of palates. A modest menu includes Hawkins cheese plates, a nod to the local food scene that pairs well with the handcrafted ales.

Beyond the drinks, Southbound Brewing acts as a pleasant stop between Omen Brewing and Longroof Brewing, contributing a friendly neighbourhood vibe to Edmonton’s growing brewery district. The welcoming atmosphere, attentive service and community‑focused feel make it a worthwhile addition to the city’s craft‑beer map.
