Normand's is currently blocked off by the Jasper Ave revamp. However, one of the construction workers told me that one can access it in the alley.

Openings
- Mazesoba chain Kokoro Mazesoba opened its first Edmonton location at 11145 84 Avenue NW.
- The folks behind Iconoclast, who just launched a restaurant called Lovesong, are soon opening a cheese retail shop in the OEX 2 called Tiny’s Cheese Shop at 103, 12017 102 Avenue NW.
- It looks like Cook Country Saloon will be offering a “whole new Cook County experience” with Cook County Steakhouse, opening on September 20.
- Beer Revolution in Unity Square closed on September 7. The message cryptically mentions, “While we say goodbye to Beer Revolution we aren’t leaving the building. Stay tuned for what we have planned.”

What a strange thing to say? Beer Revolution are saying goodbye to themselves?
“While we say goodbye to Beer Revolution we aren’t leaving the building. Stay tuned for what we have planned.”

Beer Rev owned by Brewsters, but the head brand is now taking over.
Goodbye but hello!

Ahhhhhh now I see! Ian has made it clear! Beer Revolution and Brewster are somehow the same outfit! Brewster must own the building and are saying goodbye to Revolution. Too bad a YEG brewer can’t take over the space…..now we’re still stuck with subpar YYC beer…..hopefully YEG’ers continue to boycott Brewsters and their terrible concept and product

The problem with ALL Brewers time and time again…..as far back as “Taps,” the old space on YYC Tr - the current IHOP space….99% focus on the beer and 1% on the food. Brewsters is just so terrible at boring beer and a boring PUB based food product with Zero thought process put into the food. Shiddy’s Rumpus Room concept is onto something and I can see that brand growing exponentially one day.

Taps was awesome for the time, but yes, if you didn't love mozza sticks you were in trouble.

I'll miss Beer Revolution. Ever since COVID forced us to work from home, my co-workers would meet there for retirement parties and Christmas mixers.
I look forward to seeing what will occupy the current Brewster's space in Unity Square.

Is that space big enough for a Keg? (The one that fell through a few years back?)
Or does Bearhill roll the dice and put another brewpub in there with the on-site equipment? It's too close to Campio, but they could create a new brand. (I miss Biera, but that Campio in Ritchie is packed every time I'm in the area.)
Or maybe Sabor has it already leased...

Yeah, Campio Ritchie is doing insane business. I also miss Biera (particularly and especially the brunch menu, which was the best in the city), but the Campio product is what that neighborhood really wants.

Going off memory probably pretty close for a Keg. Still would love to see them in the core but wouldn’t be surprised for them to choose something like that.

^^"Contemporary Ukrainian/European" sounds like a promising concept.
