Edmonton Independent Beer Store

To countries such as Germany, beer is a notable part of traditions. In Edmonton, you would find an independent beer store – the Alley Kat Brewery.

Beer is actually a staple in most liquor shops. It can also be served on tap in a few major restaurants. But first, here’s a little bit of beer’s history.

History of beer

Actually, beer is one of the globe’s oldest drinks. It dates back to the sixth millenium BC, and Sumerian written records indicate the existence of beer in their civilization. The invention of beer and bread has been said to contribute largely to man’s development of technology, and the building of civilization. This beverage had been known in the cultures of Celtic tribes and Germanic groups, all the way back to 3000 BC. Earliest known evidence goes back to around 3500 to 3100 BC from somewhere in Iran.

About Alley Kat

This Edmonton independent beer entity gives topnotch micro-brewed beers. The establishment is locally owned and run by Lavonne and Neil Herbst. They have the following renowned beers, made under the strictest protocols: Olde Deuteronomy barley wine, Alley Kat amber, Full Moon pale ale, Charlie Flint’s Original Lager, and Aprikat.

Independent beer stores and the bigger entities

Major beer firms have occasionally attempted to buy independent beer stores or distributors to get more control on the distribution. The company-owned distributors could give an edge in price-control and the presentation of the finished product.
