strathcona spirits distillery

We are Edmonton's first distillery, not since prohibition, but ever.  We distill an expanding line of fine spirits that embody the essence of Alberta by using locally farmed and foraged grains and botanicals. Our tiny boomtown building in the heart of Old Strathcona is the smallest distillery in North America. 

 

The almanac - (Lunch stop)

The Almanac is a Bistro and Cocktail Bar located in the heart of Old Strathcona. Our kitchen and bar offer seasonal menus with house made products and fresh ingredients, sure to please your palate.

 
 

hansen distillery

Hansen Distillery is an Edmonton-based family-run craft distillery that prides itself on producing quality products using ingredients sourced from Alberta. All of our spirits are made right, right here in Alberta.

 

rig hand craft distillery

Rig Hand Craft Distillery is in the unique position of being the first craft distillery in the greater Edmonton area.  Incorporated in December, 2014, our family business makes over 30 products including vodka, flavoured vodkas, rum, whisky, bourbon, scotch, rye, gin, schnapps and coffee cream liqueur. We use all locally sourced input products.  Our main grain supplier is Great West Farms, a fourth generation farm, located two miles from the distillery.  Our products are packaged in a distinctive trademarked bottle that is a replica of the Leduc #1 drilling rig, paying tribute to our rich history of both agriculture and resource development in Alberta.
