The Bell in Scona Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Edmonton AB)

The Bell in Scona Brewery sits in Edmonton, Alberta, and proudly serves a slice of the province’s past with every pint. The name itself hints at the old west flair that runs through its decor, complete with a mock ‘wanted’ poster that invites a cheeky photo op. The brewery positions its craft ales as narrative vehicles, each brew echoing a different chapter of Alberta’s history.

Its beer roster includes the Scona Ruby red ale, praised for a well balanced and tasty profile, alongside other locally inspired varieties. The brew pub menu matches the hops with equally impressive fare: an AAA sirloin, pan seared salmon, a poutine bar, buffalo chicken dip, tender ribs with a light smoke finish and garlic knots drenched in beer cheese. Reviewers praise the cocktails and the skill of the bar manager, while happy hour draws a steady crowd.

The atmosphere blends a lively weekend vibe with a welcoming sense of community. Staff such as the ever smiling server Kimberly receive special mention for friendly, knowledgeable service. The space doubles as an event venue, having hosted weddings and large groups, and continues to be a go to spot for locals seeking quality food, drink and a touch of western charm.
