Meet the owner

Neil Herbst is a fan of beer, and that’s putting it mildly. He loves everything about beer. As he grew increasingly frustrated by what the major breweries had to offer, Neil knew that he had to take his interest in everything beer one step further. He wanted to expand his tastes, but the market back in the '90s didn’t seem to cater to guys like him.

In 1994, Neil founded the Alley Kat Brewing Company with the simple aim of introducing beer lovers to great craft beers. “The Alley Kat Brewing Company predates the craft beer boom by a long ways,” says Neil.

It wasn’t enough to be just a fan of beer, though. Neil had to learn his trade, research beer making techniques and visit others who had the same burning ambition as he did. “I started home brewing, did research, read books and toured lots of microbreweries and brewpubs,” he says.

Buy local: Edmonton’s hand crafted, small batch booze makers

Though Alley Kat produce a whopping 3.9 million bottles a year, it’s still brewed in small batches using as many local ingredients as possible and no preservatives – and, their Scona Gold Kolsch won beer of the year at 2015 Canadian Brewing awards. We suggest grabbing six of that one. And then, choose from their Aprikat wheat, hearty amber, grapefruit wheat and zen-like well-balanced Full Moon pale. You’ll have a well stocked fridge and be doing some good, too: the considerate folks at the brewery use recycled glass bottles and reuse spent grains as cattle feed.
