Message Torontoblue beers 104 º places 44 º 10:59 Thu 6/7/2012 It’s even better with a year or so of ageing.
Message gramity beers 1829 º places 41 º 09:21 Mon 6/11/2012 I think it’s 2011. I won’t be able to hold off on drinking it for more than a couple months.

Message Torontoblue beers 104 º places 44 º 09:49 Wed 6/13/2012 Just seen the tap list for the new place on Jasper, Underground. Some good stuff on there, but what is interesting & nice to see, there is no Bud, Coors, Molson or Labatts. Have to wait and see what pricing is like, but it is definitely a place to go in downtown Edmonton. As for the other new place in Edmonton, MKT, this is now opening on Thursday. All taps will be $4 after 7pm for the opening night.
Message Ferris P beers 23108 º places 1878 º 10:46 Wed 6/13/2012 MKT has published their beer menu: https://twitter.com/MKTwhyte/status/211962750627352577/photo/1/large Pretty mediocre if you ask me and a bit pricey at that.
Message Torontoblue beers 104 º places 44 º 10:50 Wed 6/13/2012 Yup, very, very disappointing and just far too corporate. And the pricing is just taking the piss, especially when they are only 14oz servings!!!
Message Hoser beers 388 º places 178 º 13:20 Wed 6/13/2012 There is another place opening this week that has Charlevoix’s Milk Stout on tap that sounds good.

Message Torontoblue beers 104 º places 44 º 14:30 Wed 6/13/2012 Never really cared for Charlevoix’s beers...just don’t do anything for me. Where is the new place opening?

I see lots of good beer on there but as for catering to a beer geek who wants something new they are obviously not catering to that. I am disappointed in the offerings. I can definitely get a good beer there but if I want to knock of some beer I’ve never tried it look like I will have to look elsewhere. I have to say, I don’t care much for the Century Hospitality Group for that sort of thing. There is no labor of love for beer - just for profits. I am much more excited about Underground on Jasper and I really hope that has more of the atmosphere and approach I’m looking forward (selfish, I know). I want a place that has a mug club so I can buy a stein to use every time I am there and pay pint prices for a liter. At any rate, I am going to go support MKT’s opening as it is a step in the right direction. Not to mention I am fucking sucker for $4 tap prices.

Me & Shane were supposed to have had a meeting before they settled on their taps & bottles, and just go over a few things. It never happened and they used a guy who used to work for Labatt’s; hence the lack of beer geek choices, and the more corporate look of things. And there are now definitely no kids under drinking age allowed in.
