Troubled Monk Brewery

We’ve been hearing buzz about this brewery and their beer is popping up all over Edmonton (The Common, Beer Revolution and Sherbrooke Liquor store). So, on our latest trip to Red Deer, we thought we’d better check out where the magic happens.
The brewery has been open since last June (so it’s not even a year old) and already it’s been making waves. Waves of delicious beer.
The brewery has a tasting room with about 10 tables and few guests were enjoying a pint during our visit. There was one staff member at the bar taking orders, pulling tasters and selling 6 packs and growlers to go. The girl was knowledgable about the beer and you could tell she took pride in working there. It’s too bad there wasn’t more staff as we felt a bit rushed with people waiting behind us. I’m sure the experience could have been a lot more memorable had it not been busy. Overall, the tasting room lacked ambience. I was glad to pick up a few beers and take them home.
We picked up a growler of the seasonal Insomnia IPA ($ 20). It’s not currently available in cans but hopefully it will become one of their mainstay beers. We also grabbed a 6 pack ($ 12) of the American Brown Ale (which we were told just won second place in a world championship competition). This really is an exciting new brewery and I look forward to tasting more!
Also of note, if you’re interested in taking a tour of the brewery. They are offered on Thursday and Friday evenings.

I will have to go there and actually experience the actual pub portion of this company. From what I can see, they have a very interesting little menu. I did go in there once to pick up a six-​pack of their Belgian Saison beer and a six-​pack of their Golden Gaetz beer. As a single guy whose friends are usually working or doing family stuff, I like to go to a pub where I can sit and relax at the bar. I’m not sure if I can do that there, comfortably.
But those two beers I mentioned? Winners. Whenever I go to To The Lost, I always order the Troubled Monk Saison!

Great little brewery good beer. And very nice in adulterated atmosphere. Pure Canada pure craft beer. Keep up the good work. And keep brewing. And we will keep coming back ! Cheers !
