Canada, AB: Molson Coors to open small brewery in Edmonton

The Edmonton Journal reports that an historic Edmonton building where Molson Coors operated a brewery from 1958 to 2007 will soon house a Molson brewery once again, although on a much smaller scale than the original.

The Molson Tower building at 104 Avenue and 121 Street is currently being redeveloped by owners Sun Life and First Capital Realty, and a representative of the latter tells the paper that the new complex which is expected to open in spring 2018 will include a “micro-brewery targeting craft beers” that will be owned by Molson.

According to the article, the brewery will be located in the 3,000-square-foot basement space, while the main floor will feature an affiliated bar and restaurant which will include an outdoor patio.
