In 1989, founder Michael Lanigan sparked the Brewsters revolution, well ahead of the small-batch brewing craze. Now a second-generation family business, their batches may have grown, but the fiery passion remains unchanged. It's a simple yet potent formula: fuse meticulously brewed beer with an unparalleled dining adventure. This alchemy has propelled Brewsters to its current standing - one of Alberta's most enduring local breweries, with eight vibrant restaurants spread across the province. Get ready to taste the legacy, feel the thrill, and join the Brewsters journey!

    Chicken wings were good, Caesar salad was ok. Gravy - terrible. Nachos were alright. Beef dip good. Fish good.. Service was pretty bad considering there was only a couple other tables & multiple times we ran out of drinks & our dirty dishes sat on the table for awhile. Young man bar tending was friendly & gave good service once we sat at bar after meal..

    I just came here with a family member. We both had the bacon wrapped meat loaf with Mac and cheese and it was absolutely amazing. The server was attentive, fast and polite and she had a table of 20 at the same time!!! Wow I am impressed. The before and after photos of my food speak for themselves. I scraped the bowl clean If it was polite to lick the bowl o would have

    As soon as we ordered water to drink instead of alcohol, the server started treating us worse, and wasn't as friendly to us anymore. She made us feel like since we are not buying drinks we're not worth her effort. Both burgers we ordered were missing the sauce, which was disappointing. When we realized that there was supposed to be sauce, but wasn't, which made the burger not have as much flavour as it should have, we told the server that there was no sauce, but she didn't really care at all that both burgers didn't have any sauce. She didn't ask how the food was at any point either. When she greeted us at the beginning, she was friendly and smiling, but then as soon as we got waters, everything changed for the rest of the time.

    Pretty underwhelming spot overall. We went for Taco Wednesday, each taco was $5.50, but they were skimpy on protein, super dry, and lacked any real flavor. The bison burger was no betterdry, basic, and just okay. Honestly, the highlight of the meal was the aioli that came with my sweet potato fries. The beer was alright, nothing special,very yeast, and the non-alcoholic drink with five ingredients tasted like straight-up Costco cranberry juice. We weren't offered cutlery, ketchup or hot sauce not that we necessarily needed it, but it's a basic standard most places follow. When you compare it to Kilt & Caber, this place falls short. The food and drink offerings are worse, and it's pricier too. Definitely not coming back.

    We were part of a large party and so had the opportunity to order several items to share. We tried the wings, dry ribs, nachos, tater tots, chicken fingers with onion rings and the Nashville chicken sandwich, and finished off with all three desserts (not pictured). There were a lot of flavours for the wings and the chicken fingers and we tried inferno for the wings and Nashville hot for the fingers. Both were deliciously spicy and would order again. All three desserts were good but my favorite was the Leprechaun. There's also a big selection of bevvies with daily specials.
