On October 25, 2025 we’re going to be hosting a very special day at our brewery – an Open Brew Day! It’s a free, community focused event that will allow fans of our beer to join us as we brew. Enjoy this rare opportunity to get behind the scenes and watch us brew a batch of our beer that will be fermented in barrels and eventually blended into one of our bottle releases. We’re very excited to have you join us and get behind the scenes as we brew.
Saturday, October 25
9919–78th Ave, Edmonton
Come and go from 8:30am to 6:00pm
FREE!
The Open Brew Day will be taking place at the Blind Enthusiasm Brewery at 9919-78th Ave. Stop by any time between 8:30am and 6pm for a self-guided tour of the brewery. Staff will be on hand to answer any questions you might have, and bagels from Beb's Bagels, coffee and a beer sample will be available—check the schedule below for details!
RSVP at this link to let us know you plan to attend Open Brew Day, and we’ll send you an email reminder and enter you to win a $50 gift card!
*while wort may not sound particularly appetizing it’s actually the delicious result of the mashing process. It’s a sweet and malty drink that goes exceptionally well with croissants and similar pastries. Doug had the opportunity to enjoy this tradition when he worked at Cantillon in Brussels whenever they brewed. We want to share it with you.
See you at Open Brew Day!

We recently had the huge honor of our Fruitful Pursuits: Cherry being awarded the World’s Best Kriek at the World Beer Awards. But why don’t we call this beer a Kriek? As with all things, it’s complicated, but the main reason we don’t call Fruitful Pursuits: Cherry a Kriek is out of respect for our peers in Belgium. It’s their traditional term, and not ours.
