With the new craft distilling laws enacted in late 2013, a number of craft distilleries have popped up, and Edmontonians can now sip on some locally distilled gins, vodkas, and— someday very soon—whiskys. Here’s our round up of a few of the breweries and distilleries to check out around Edmonton and the province: Alley Kat Brewing Company At 22 years old, Alley Kat Brewery is the oldest craft brewery in Edmonton and the fourth oldest in the province. “This summer, we’re extending our hours, and we have free tours everyday. Basically from noon to 4:30 pm Monday to Wednesday and noon to 7 pm Thursday and Friday,” says Alyson Herbst, marketing manager at Alley Kat Brewing Company. “And there’s no need to call ahead or show up on the half hour, we’re just doing them all day as drop-ins.” Guests can go “backstage” to see how beer is made and view the intricacies in which Alley Kat brews their beer. The tour also includes a tasting at the end, where guests can try between seven and eight different brews, including two to three rotating taps—Alley Kat’s Dragon Double IPA series, their Backalley brews, and their summer seasonal feature.

Strathcona Spirits A few blocks north, just off Whyte Avenue, is a much newer face to the game—and the first micro-distillery in Edmonton history—Strathcona Spirits. For the last few months, Strathcona Spirits’ vodka (made with local grain and gin made with locally-foraged juniper berries and seabuckthorn) has been making waves on store shelves and in local cocktail bars. “It’s kind of funny, because we were an underground music venue before," says Strathcona Spirits' Adam Smith. "At that time, we just had a single lightbulb hanging over the band. But now we’ve got a big set of stagelights above the distillers.” The Strathcona Spirits building has a 1924 boomtown-style facade on it, and—at under 750 square feet—it’s also the smallest micro-distillery in North America. Beautiful stills imported from the Ozarks in southeast corner of Missouri complete the look. “We’re going to be part of the Edmonton Food Tours, and Situation Brewing [one of the newer craft breweries in Edmonton] is just across the way from us and [offers tours as well],” Smith says. Last Best Brewing & Distilling Last Best's pub in Downtown Calgary features a craft brewery, microdistillery, and a full-service restaurant with famous smoked lamb ribs and Korean-style chicken wings. “We do tours all day, everyday, at no charge,” explained the brewery operations manager Phil Brian.

Last Best has five mainstay beers and seven seasonal beers available for sampling as part of their tour, as well as some extremely small batch gins (just 30 to 50 bottles per run). This also includes some of the white spirit that gets made into whisky (their whisky itself is still two or three years away from being ready). If you’re in Calgary, Banff, Jasper, or Fort McMurray, Bear Hills Brewing Company has you covered. They have four different brew pubs and distilleries all over Alberta, each unique to their community. Their other locations are just as exceptional, with their Banff Ave Brewing Co serving up a unique black pilsner as one of their many offerings. Spike Baker, brewmaster at their Jasper Brewing Company, notes that the Jasper location is famous for their Blueberry Vanilla Ale and their Jasper the Bear Ale. Their Wood Buffalo Brewing Co in Fort McMurray famously made headlines for being one of the first in Alberta to get into the craft-whisky game with product coming soon. “We’ve been up there since 2013,” notes Brian. “We put in a distillery before the laws changed and even before we were allowed to use it—so it was a shiny big copper paperweight for a while. When the laws changed in late 2013, we turned our still on and started making some spirits, started making some whisky."

124 Street offers an abundance of delicacies for the sweet tooth

f you’re set to explore the neighbourhoods of Oliver and Glenora this summer, you’re in for a treat. There are three new storefronts in the 124 Street area serving up snacks and desserts in three delectable forms: baked, boiled, and fried.

The Art of Cake The Art of Cake has been a pillar of the wedding and specialty cake industry in Edmonton for almost a decade, but the company expanded both its visibility and its customer service with a cafe that’s now open behind Oliver Square. The Art of Cake’s last location was a small stall tucked away in a corner of City Centre Mall. The new cafe, with its natural light, elegant decor, ample seating, and large kitchen in the back, changes everything. “It’s really about coming in and being in a nice place, having a good cup of coffee—people are looking for more places like that,” says Gloria Bednarz, who owns and manages The Art of Cake with her husband Guenter Hess and her son Jeremy Hess. “We’ve got the sweets all covered,” she says, noting that the cafe serves fruit tarts, biscuits, squares, and cookies, as well as cake, and that they're looking to add in sandwiches as well. The plethora of bakery businesses in the 124 Street area doesn’t bother her; instead she finds it encouraging that the market for independent cafes seems to be growing. “I really think the city of Edmonton is big enough to support these local bakeries,” she says.

Zwick’s Pretzels At Zwick’s, you’ll always get your pretzels while they’re still warm, but beyond that, the variations are legion. To take just a few examples, you can order a pretzel slathered in garlic butter or dusted with cinnamon sugar, encrusted in cheddar and black pepper or encrusted in feta and guajillo chilis. Zwick’s opened at the end of January in a storefront just off 124 Street beside a commercial kitchen that Darren Zwicker and Maria Chau had been using to run a catering business. Zwicker and Chau’s tiny shop includes seating for a handful of people, but often it’s all the space can do to contain a line-up of customers waiting to be handed a paper bag containing a soft twisted pretzel, or something off Zwick’s small lunch menu. It includes potato salad with dill and peas, vegetarian borscht, and pretzel bun sandwiches like Beef on a Weck (warm beef, horseradish, and mozzarella with caraway seeds on top). “It was important to us that the space be unpretentious,” Chau says. “And the product be economically accessible. A spot that the kids from Super 8 might have frequented in the ‘70s.” Like Bednarz, Zwicker and Chau are enthusiastic about playing an active part in the area’s food scene. “The support from the local businesses and residents is tremendous,” Chau says. Doughnut Party A few blocks away from both The Art of Cake and Zwick’s, Doughnut Party forms the third point of a de-

licious triangle. The shop is owned and operated by Simon Underwood and Matthew Garrett, who are also responsible for Moonshine Doughnuts, an established favourite at Edmonton farmer’s markets and pop-up events. Doughnut Party also opened at the end of January, and its reception has been overjoyed. “There’s a little bit of a line on Saturday,” Underwood says. “We’ve timed it and we think it goes pretty quick.” Inspiration for Doughnut Party came from two trips the partners took to Japan—in fact, the shop’s cartoon mascot was based partly on imagery in the Tokyo metro system. “In Japan if there’s a line-up, it’s something that you need to check out,” Underwood laughs. Unlike Moonshine Doughnuts, which are traditional baked donuts, Doughnut Party’s intriguing varieties (like Rocky Road, Birthday Cake, and Rhubarb) are all deep-fried and made from a vegan-friendly yeasted base. Garrett, who loves fritters and wanted to create one of the very best, is especially proud of the pineapple fritter. “I think people in Edmonton are looking for things that are unique,” Underwood says. “There are not enough unique products here.” Both he and Garrett are “always happy to hear about a new bakery or a new shop in the area,” Underwood says. After all, even a vast variety of doughnuts can’t make up a balanced diet. LIZZIE DERKSEN @VUEWEEKLY

El Cortez // Katie Robertson

here are two seasons in Edmonton: winter and patio. As we awaken from our frosty slumbers, it’s time (once again) to bask in the glorious summer sun while enjoying a pint or a cocktail on a patio and reconnecting with our fellow earth dwellers. To assist the great people of Edmonton in finding their way out of your dens and back into civilization, I ventured out with some of my fellow outdoor venue-lovers in search of the must-visit patios for 2017. Sugarbowl (10922-88th Ave) A quick jaunt across High Level Bridge, Sugarbowl is nestled in the back corner of a small commercial building in the Garneau neighbourhood. The quaint patio seats twenty or so people comfortably, among which you’ll find mostly university goers and thirty-something urbanites. Sugarbowl is known for its weekend

brunch fare and oh-so-delicious cinnamon buns, but I usually stop there for a mid-ride pint when I’m wheeling around the river valley. Their impressive beer menu boasts more than 160 craft brews, or you can choose from a more conservative mainstream cocktail list that is perfect for sipping, mainly because they are $12 each. Bonus: daily happy hour from 2-7 pm. Fairmont Hotel Macdonald - Confederation Lounge (10065-100 St NW) When you visit the Confederation Lounge patio at the Hotel Mac, there are two guarantees: firstly, you’ll delight in the stunning sights of the river valley with panoramic views and a feeling as though you’ve escaped the city, with only a slight drone of the downtown Jasper bustle in the background. Secondly, if you’re single and looking for a casual encounter, you’re almost guaranteed to enjoy a more carnal

type of sightseeing, as there is no shortage of singles, local and out-oftowners alike, looking to mingle after a long day of business meetings. Cocktails range from $14-$24 and their sophisticated wine menu is nothing to scoff at, with bottles starting at $60. El Cortez Mexican Kitchen + Tequila Bar (8230 Gateway Blvd) Unwind on one of El Cortez’s two (yes two) patios. What lacks in size, is made up for in ambiance. The front patio lends itself to people watching but if you’re looking for a more eclectic and relaxed vibe, the back is where you want to hang out. What drew me here initially is the fact they allow dogs on the patio, so you can slice the sizzle of the sun with cervazas while your furbaby laps up H2O from the complimentary water stations (that’s fancy talk for dog bowls). While the DJ spins beats, grab a bowl of their

chips and guac ($12) and try their grapefruit margaritas (only $4 each on Margarita Mondays). Craft Beer Market (10013-101A Ave NW) It was a toss up for me, between Craft Beer Market and the Sherlock Holmes (straight across the street), but in the end I chose the Beer Market, because rooftop patios are still a bit of a novelty in Edmonton. The reason I debated this choice though, is because of the limited sun exposure it receives, on account of the surrounding office towers shading out much of the suns rays throughout the day. Having said that, Craft Beer Market lends itself as a convenient place to take clients for luncheons or happy hour meetings, and with more than a hundred beers on tap and a friendly food menu, there is something for even the pickiest of palates.

The Black Dog Freehouse - The Wooftop (10425 Whyte Ave) If the DJ and disco ball dancing with the sun aren’t enough entertainment for you on the rooftop patio at Black Dog, then you can grab a standing-only spot adjacent to Whyte Avenue and watch the never-ending stream of motorcycle packs and old dudes cruising the strip in their classic cars. The patronage is a mixed bag of hipsters and hippies, but the vibe is always chill and pairs well with a cold pint or a classic G&T. Every time I’ve been, it’s always been full, but traffic moves quickly and you won’t normally wait more than ten minutes before a stool or a bench frees up. Be warned though, the upstairs bar isn’t always open and servers are sometimes nary. My advice: buy two drinks at a time to avoid the threat of parch while you wait.

From the patch to the patio, Revolution Ice Cream serves up summer delectably

n the fall of 2015, the founders of Revolution Ice Cream, John and Jessica Steblyk, got married, received a pile of gift certificates as wedding presents, and bought a countertop ice cream maker, an essential in any newlywed’s kitchen. “We immediately got bored of normal flavours,” John laughs. Soon, the couple’s ice cream was a fixture at their friends’ dinner parties,

and the Steblyks were getting good at making up weird and delicious new varieties. They started to wonder whether ice cream might be their ticket to a viable side gig. John, a pipe fitter, and Jessica, an office administrator who was also taking business courses at the time, both knew they wanted to become entrepreneurs of some kind. “I hated being a pipe fitter,” John says.

Their sojourns in the Caribbean and Southeast Asia had made the Steblyks aware of the central place that ice cream occupies in food cultures all over the world. They knew that there was a significant gap in the Edmonton market as there was only one local option, Pinocchio Ice Cream. “Ice cream is big everywhere, except here,” John explains.

started to crystallize last spring, but the Steblyks were only planning on making and selling ice cream parttime. That all changed when they left for a belated honeymoon in Thailand. A week after they left Alberta, Fort McMurray burned down, John lost his pipe fitting job and many of his prospects for future work. By the time they arrived back home, a business plan had already been set in motion. They got right to work. Though they hoped to launch Revolution last summer, they were finally able to start selling ice cream at the City Market Downtown in October. The two were there almost every Saturday over the winter, and in May 2017, they also started selling their surprising flavours—Vietnamese Coffee, Avocado and Bergamot, and Peanut Butter Heat (a spicy ice cream inspired by food in Thailand)—at the 124 Street Grand Market. In the meantime, the fledgling company began collaborating with some of Edmonton’s best established and up-and-coming restaurants, such as Arcadia Bar, Culina Muttart, London Tea Bar, Chartier, Barking Buffalo Cafe, and Situation Brewing. The Steblyks made, among other flavours, a sourdough bread ice cream for Chartier and a roasted onion ice cream

for the head chef at Situation. But Revolution’s ice cream ethos goes beyond a preference for crazy combinations. The Steblyks are also committed to making ice cream with real and recognizable ingredients—most of their varieties contain only milk, cream, eggs, sugar, and whatever is added to create that day’s unique concoction. Revolution also makes some vegan coconut milk ice creams. “We’re trying to make ice cream you can’t get everywhere else,” John says. For now, the places where Revolution’s loyal customers can get this ice cream are the City Market Downtown and the 124 Street Grand Market, with available flavours for the following day’s market posted on social media the day before. Though the Steblyks have no plans for a storefront location yet, they’re working on getting a mobile cart up and running, distributing through the SPUD food delivery service, and launching an ATB BoostR campaign to help cover the cost of some muchneeded new equipment. Right now, it takes a full day to make 12 litres of Revolution Ice Cream. Considering the Steblyk’s success so far, they’re going to need a twenty-litre machine.

For the outer perimeter, bike trails and signed bike routes/sharrow lanes are generally best. Although bikes are permitted on all city roads, the Whitemud, Yellowhead and other major thor102 AVE oughfares aren’t the most pleasant. Detouring around them often only takes a few minutes, and is well worth it.

YELLOWHEAD TRAIL The secret to cruising, touring, bombing or commuting through Edmonton by bicycle is to16 find the nearest ravine or river valley access, and keep to the valley as long as you can. Not only is it the most serene and shady route, it’s often the simplest, shortest and has the least traffic to contend with. The valley winds from northeast to southwest with ravine offshoots leading up into many neighbourhoods.

Four Edmonton beginner trails are listed in the top 20 trails in Canada by singletracks.com members: Strathcona Science Park, Terwillegar Park, Mill Creek Ravine 23 AVE (South) and Capilano Loop. Most bike shops host free weekly rides for all skill levels through the summer. It’s a great way to get to know local trails.

It’s a good idea to carry some basic tools for quick fixes en route. At minimum, yours should include:

All full-sized ETS buses (except inter-municipal highway routes) are equipped with bike racks. Each rack fits two bikes, first come, first ser ve. Regular fares apply, bikes ride free.

• Tire pump • Spare tube/patch kit • Multi-tool (should have hex keys and screwdriver) • Find supplies at various bike shops around the city

Snow Valley Aerial Park offers options for all ages and skill levels

8937 Whyte Ave | 780.465.4450

he brand-new, $1.7 million Snow Valley Aerial Park officially opened for business over the May long weekend. Soaring 15 metres into the sky, the outdoor tower contains more than 100 games, and visitors can spend anywhere from one to three hours running and climbing along the structure. “Even 60 or 90 minutes of climbing around is quite the workout,” says Tim Dea, the park’s marketing and communications manager. Dea compares the Snow Valley Aerial Park to Wildplay in Fort McMurray or Skytrek in Revelstoke, B.C. He says that the Edmonton park is one of a kind because of its nonlinear, modular design, its “click-it” magnetic safety clip system, and a few uniquely local touches. “We have about 10 games that are customized to Edmonton," Dea says. "So there is a Whitemud Company coal car; there is a travel trailer that you have to make your way through; there’s a ski bridge and a snowboard bridge. There’s this huge

rainbow climbing element that you do, there’s this part where you actually ride a bike across. Then there’s this deck at the top where you get this spectacular view of the creek and all of the Rainbow Valley Campground around you. There’s also, on the top level, a picnic table that is suspended. So you can climb across, maybe take a seat or a break at the picnic table, and then carry on.” The multi-storey aerial park also has literal “levels” of difficulty making it suitable for kids, adults, and even corporate retreats. As Dea points out, like an amusement park, the difficulty is partially based on height. “So if you’re under 140 cm you may want to stay on the lower level. But if you’re taller than 125 cm and you’ve got somebody to go with you—it would be challenging—but you should be able to go up a level and have some fun," he says. The park also uses state-of-the-art magnetic safety clips that allow visitors to choose their own adventure

snowvalley.ca/aerial-park and self-guide themselves throughout the structure. “One of the unique things about the park is that it is not linear, so you can go in pretty much any direction you want,” Dea explains. The tower’s modular design also gives the aerial park team the ability to change out old games and add new ones in the future, so new features can be added from year to year. Dea’s final, number one, insider tip for those planning to check the park out is to book a spot online ahead of time. “You can walk up, but it’s not suggested because you’d have to wait for a group to go in that had a spot open. Plus, you can complete all of your waiver signing and stuff online, so that when you show up you just check in and then you’re ready to go.” BRYAN SAUNDERS @VUEWEEKLY

Ripe for the picking

Harvest your own fruits and veggies with local U-picks

here’s nothing quite like going on a drive into the countryside and returning with a pail full of pesticidefree, local produce. Fruit such as strawberries, cherries, raspberries, and Saskatoons can be picked at the height of ripeness for eating by the handful, or for making into pie or preserves. Luckily for us, Edmonton is surrounded by a number of amazing UPick farms. Here are a few of the best: Prairie Gardens North of Edmonton, Prairie Gardens in Bon Accord usually kicks off their U-Pick season in mid-July (depending on when the strawberries start to ripen). Their season continues into August with more strawberries, peas and sweet corn. For a mere $20, you can fill a fourlitre ice cream pail full of strawberries. The folks at Prairie Gardens even have a Fairy Berry Festival on the Au-

gust long weekend and a Corn Festival on the September long weekend. If you’re planning on visiting, visit prairiegardens.org or call ahead to 780.921.2272 to make sure that your timing is right. Brix ‘n Berries Anybody who has driven down the Queen Elizabeth has seen the highway sign for Brix ‘N Berries in Leduc (located about 40 km south of Edmonton). With over 50 acres of Saskatoon berries that visitors can pick for $3 per pound, Brix ‘N Berries also has a few acres of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, cherries, haskaps, and tomatoes. Open Wednesday through Sunday, they also have a variety of preserves, syrups, and pickles available for sale in their on-farm store. Visit brixnberries.com or give them a call at 780.980.5386 to see when they

open for the season. The folks there recommend bringing some ice packs to keep your Saskatoons cool on the ride home. Stevens Strawberries About 30 minutes south of Edmonton, and open Monday through Saturday from 9 am to 6 pm, Stevens Strawberries in Wetaskiwin has three varieties of strawberries for picking from mid-July to late-September. For a $3.10 per pound, you can pick big red, ripe strawberries until your heart’s content, or you can grab a pre-picked four litre pail of about five pounds for $25. Call ahead at 780.353.2924 to ensure that the field hasn’t just been picked by another group, and bring a cooler with some ice packs to keep your berries cool on the way home.

Whether you enjoy a relaxing bike ride or crave the excitement of challenging off-road or fatbike adventures, Devon has it all. This all season location provides world class cycling with no lack of scenic natural areas to take in. Only 15 minutes from Edmonton - nature is at your doorstep.

Eden North Parachuting Schools 780.489.9000 edennorth.com

ccording to the owner and jumpmaster at Eden North Parachute Schools, Lyal Waddell, there are two ways to go skydiving for the first time. “For most people the tandem jump is what they want,” he says. “They get to experience it all and they only have to spend 15 to 20 minutes in briefing before they go up. And that’s what most people want—the biggest bang for their buck with the least amount of time put in.” The other way to go jumping is through a five-hour ground program called 'solo first jump.' Waddell says this is the best choice for people who want to learn how to skydive so that they can do it on their own or jump multiple times. “You make the commitment to put in the time and the effort, and we put in the time to teach you the survival skills of parachuting," he explains. "We take you up to 3,500 feet, you climb out of the aircraft, you exit, we deploy your parachute, and you fly it down. We have radio assistance on the ground to help guide you and you land your own parachute.”

For anybody wondering about the landscape around Edmonton, Waddell assures you that it is a beautiful sight. “We jump about 25 miles west of Edmonton and its rolling hills and a parkland landscape," says Waddell. "There’s lot of farms, and lots of lakes in our area, from Lake Wabamun to Lac Ste Anne right to Big Lake by Edmonton. It’s actually a beautiful area. Most people who go up can’t believe how much water there is. Every five miles, there’s a lake, so it’s kind of neat.” As for the actual experience of jumping, Waddell laughs and says it’s different from person to person. Most people are okay with the actual flying in an airplane part, but when the door of the plane opens, and the wind rushes in and people realize that they’ll be jumping out, that’s when everything changes. “People hesitate, but they still go," Waddell says. "I’ve done thousands of tandem jumps, and people will be saying ‘No, I can’t go,’ while they’re climbing out of the airplane, ‘No, I can’t do this.’ And then, whoosh, we’re gone.”

Call us for custom trips for your group PHONE: 780-470-5352 WWW.EDMONTONCANOE.COM INFO@EDMONTONCANOE.COM

The first seconds of jumping out of a plane are a bit overwhelming and many people don’t remember this first part once they’re on the ground, Waddell notes. After the first five seconds, however, people start to open their eyes and notice the landscape below them. “Most people get a big smile and it’s a feeling that I can’t explain. The skydive itself is very full, sensationwise," he explains. "You’re hearing wind go past you, you’re feeling different things going past your body like the wind in your face and in your chest, and the parachute opens and it’s like you’ve just gone to church. Everything goes quiet and you hear little insignificant things like the rustling of the parachute, and it’s so calm.” The excitement picks up again when it comes time to land, Waddell says. “And then you land and you’re like, 'Holy smokes, that’s over already?' It is a one of a kind experience.”

dmonton is a landlocked city known for hot and humid summers, but fortunately our nearby lakes are great summer escapes. Prairie life doesn’t allow Albertan’s the luxuries of ocean views, but our lakes more than make up for it. The province is home to over 600 freshwater lakes and 245 rivers. We have compiled a list of five lakes to meet all your demands—swimming, water sports, camping and stunning views. Maligne Lake - Jasper National Park Maligne Lake is famous for the colour of its water, three visible glaciers and Spirit Island. The largest natural lake in the Canadian Rockies has plenty to offer visitors. Hikers can explore the

Big Lake – Lois Hole Centennial Park Alberta Fish and Wildlife ranks Big Lake as one of the 20 most important habitat areas in Alberta. The land surrounding Big Lake provides habitat for a plethora of animals. The real draw for Big Lake is the wildlife. More than 235 bird species have been recorded at Big Lake and some at-risk species fre-

Lake Minnewanka – Banff National Park Lake Minnewanka is the only glacial lake to allow limited use of powerboats. Guided boat tours run daily in the summer months, but guests can rent their own boats, canoes or kayaks at the docks.

Lake Abraham – Nordegg This manmade lake is well known in the photography community, after the winter freeze because frozen bubbles form beneath the lake's surface.

Upper Kananaskis Lake – Peter Lougheed Provincial Park Kananaskis is a jewel in the Alberta provincial parks system without the hordes of tourists in Banff and Jasper. The water is a clear glacial blue and has a way of entrancing guests. With beautiful views in every direction, some may find certain areas of Peter Lougheed Provincial Park familiar, having been featured in films such as The Revenant. Plan to spend a day here, rent a canoe and paddle until your arms hurt because the views are worth it.
