We sampled the Autonomic Mind (weird beer) - soooo good 9/10, Chair Porter 8/10 - good porter but not enough chai flavor, Curuba Sour 9/10 - great sour, Blood Orange Gose - 9/10 tastes like a sour patch kid!, Rhubarb saison - 6/10 - just not my thing. Sooo many good flavors. I would have loved to get a flight and sit and enjoy here. Cans are sold individually so we got a variety to take home. Staff was so friendly, gave great information, and gave lots of samples. Howlers as well as growlers available. Menu online is very accurate. 100% will try to take the boyfriend/friends here!

I jumped on the chance because I love the pizzas here. They have a soft doughy crust. So we ventured here for lunch. It wasn't too full, and it took a while for someone to notice and get us seated. We actually debated leaving, however finally they seated us, it was all good. (Hence why it looses a star). Atmosphere is pretty typical for a craft brewery. I am not a huge sports bar fan, and I was pleased to see that TVs were not a focus here. Menu is good. Lots of different things to try, but they are well known for their pizzas. Great selection of beers. Also an okay selection of cocktails and wine. I am on medication, so I tried a "near beer" can that they offered and I was pleased with the flavour. I wish they would have a non alcoholic that is more local on tap. Hubby because of driving went with a coke. We decided on two pizzas - PB & J which contained roasted pineapple, smoked bacon, fresh jalapeño, mozzarella, brick blend and the Animal Style -Ezzo pepperoni, seasoned beef, bacon, pizza sauce, crushed chilis, Grana Padano. Both came out hot and fresh and tasty. I enjoyed my toppings better, however my husband's pizza sauce was absolutely perfect. Service (once we were seated) was pleasant. We received some chocolate dipped strawberries as a customer appreciation gift and that was lovely. My goal is to try all the pizzas. Give it a go if you like Detroit style pizzas.

The brewpub has certainly been seeing its time in the sun for several years now with the popularity…read moreof microbreweries reaching its peak. Edmonton is no different than anywhere else in the fact that our restaurantscape has been dotted with more and more local breweries - which is cool and all - but the part that has caught my attention is the elevation and refinement that has also evolved. Gone are the days when the average pub is slinging a beer in your general direction and calling it a day. Now there are chefs involved, complete dining programs, and entire concepts. It's more than just a boozy good time (but it's also still that). One of the standouts in this game is Campio Brewing Co., which first opened its doors in 2018 and have since expanded to a second location. In a previous life the original restaurant operated as Characters Fine Dining for twenty some years, which is why the space might feel familiar. (I remember dining at Characters in my 20s and believing that it was the height of luxury.) Voted Best Brewpub 2025 by EDify Magazine, Campio has positioned itself as a reliable standby when it comes to beers and eats Downtown, and they ain't slowing down anytime soon. I visited on a Monday evening, only half realizing that it was also an Oilers home game night. At only a seven minute walk away from Rogers Place, you can be sure that the place will be positively packed with jersey-wearing fans, the majority of which who are grabbing a bite before gametime. This was absolutely the case during my visit, and while it was crowded there's something about the buzz of a hockey night that feels pretty special. Peering through the sea of blue and orange in the main dining area, it was clear that tables were at a premium. I had no idea that there was additional seating downstairs but quickly learned as the hostess lead the way down the stairs. The basement appears to be the brewery itself, lined with fermentation tanks and wooden aging barrels. The picnic-style tables are communal. While it's not as nice as upstairs and certainly feels like an overflow area, it is kind of neat to be sitting where all of the brewery magic happens. (Think of when you try to go camping but the campground is already full, so they just stick you in a big empty field with the rest of the extras.) The main upstairs dining area is expansive, rich in wood, and feels historic. You'll find exposed brick and the same epic wooden pillars that exist in many of the old buildings downtown. But the best table in the entire restaurant? That would be the elevator shaft room - now converted into a small dining area. The elevator buttons are still on the wall! Our server was super personable and friendly, genuinely seeming like she was having a good time. Campio is obviously known for their 16 rotating craft beers on draft brewed right in the restaurant itself. They also sell their beer in cans (covered in beautiful artwork) which can be found in liquor stores everywhere, as well as offsale at the brewery itself. My husband is a big fan of their seasonal Once in Oaxaca (a prickly pear horchata sour). I, myself, am not much of a beer drinker so I was pleased to find a list of house cocktails to choose from - way more my jam. The Iced Edmonton Fog (Baileys, Cointreau, Amaretto, walnut bitters, earl grey tea - $14.50) sounded really delicious and fun. (They also make beer cocktails!) The flavour profile of this drink is right up my alley! The combination of almond, walnut and earl grey sounds cozy and delicious! However, I found that I wanted even more flavour from each sip. The beverage tasted quite watered down and could've been more full-bodied. It did remind me a lot of a paralyzer though, which I was not mad at. The main concept at Campio is to fuse Edmonton's blue-collar nature and artistic flair into one, serving up whimsy and quality with diverse offerings. I do think that this shows a clear understanding of the clientele in this city and it points toward Campio's success. The menu is fresh, playful, and approachable, offering the kind of food that people actually want to eat in a brewpub today. They've got Fried Pepperoni (With honey mustard - $9.00) on the snacks part of the menu and I'm not one to refuse! A Halifax stable, Edmonton and this Maritime city seem to have a lot in common when it comes to cuisine (RE: the donair). Sliced paper-thin, each ruby-hued round is crispy like a chip. You could easily toss about 20 of these into your mouth and barely notice. I liked the tangy honey mustard to dip into. This dish is like the best part of a pizza without all of the unnecessary rest of it. I'd happily start my meal with these every time! For the main event Campio offers two types of choices; you can opt for a handheld (I've had their Korean Fried Chicken Sandwich before and that tall stack is a good time!) or you can order a Detroit deep dish pizza (which I feel is kinda their "signature thing.") Detroit-style pizza really blew up arou

The sandwiches are made with bread from the nearby Bon Ton Bakery, so fresh & delicious! Friendly, attentive staff, great atmosphere, excellent tunes... get in here & support this local business!

This was my first visit to Sea Change. I ordered one of their Irish Red Ales. The server…read morereturned shortly to say that they were changing the kegs so she suggested I try the Death Wave light lager. It was okay but not memorable, it was also served with too much of a crown. For food I ordered the Lemongrass Chicken which they describe as a classic "Vietnamese Banh Mi style sandwich by our friends at Pho & Bun". I'm assuming Pho and Bun is a ghost restaurant in the same building but I don't know. Either way it was very good. The sandwiche was Just the right size. The others at my table ordered similar sandwiches such as the pulled port and the feature. There was also a couple of vegan choices and my daughter appeared to be pleased with hers. They have only two appetizers; pretzels and something they called "drift chips" which are probably fries. Inside it's very casual and not particularly large. They use long tables that are similar to picnic tables to accommodate various sizes of groups. There are some smaller tables too, as well as an outside patio. We enjoyed ourselves and the small size of the place kept the atmosphere pleasant. There are several other brew pubs in the area so they have a lot of competition. They get 5 stars for the food, and 3 stars for the beer. I can recommend Sea Change. Hopefully the other beer selections are a bit more interesting.

If not a 2.5. We ordered the buffulo spinach dip to share. My friend had the pork vermicelli bowl and I had og delux sandwich which contained Pork Belly, Pork Terrine, Pork Ham, Liver Paté, Mayo. Food was passable but not great. The spinach dip was kinda bland and there was huge pieces of whole spinach in it which made it hard to eat. I did not find it spicy at all. My friend was okay with her dish but the noodles were totally overcooked. And my sandwich was find but slapped together messily and not evenly. As you can see in my photo this is how it was presented to me which didn't make a good impression. The chef should have known better. It tasted fine, but I had to ask for a knife to push the meat down and spread out the pate. This wouldn't of been hard for the chef to do. I would probably come here for a beer but I wouldn't order food here. Go eat somewhere else that takes pride in what they serve.

Was nice to hear from the owners about how they came up with some of the beers. We ordered a pizza. The spicy pineapple one. Sadly I didn't have a chance to take a picture because we ate it so fast. It was great. Nice balance of flavour and not a massive crust (which I'm not a fan of). The place is really nice. Patio is big and you get a lovely view of a man made lake (what beats beer and a great view).

We ordered the baked pretzels and they were tasty. We saw some of the pizzas at other tables and they looked amazing. I can't wait to return to 70 Acre to try more beers and food!

Only after we moved to a different table did they staff figure out they should maybe close it.

Otherwise, it hasn't really changed from Famoso. The interior is the same, including the very large oven! Maybe pizza is somewhere in their future. Service was pretty good. Our server forgot a few things, but she made up for it by having a very sweet personality. We were only one of two tables... on St. Patrick's Day! I hope they can get more business. Their beer is awesome, which is the highlight. And a good thing too, since they're a brewery. We tried the Cossack Imperial Stout, Naughty Amber, and Last Call Blonde. I thought they were all good, but the Stout definitely stood out as the best! If I were to recommend a beer from here it would be the Stout. The food was OK. I had the veggie burger and my partner had fish and chips. We also tried the mozza sticks. Nothing to write home about, but not awful! Typical bar food. The mozza sticks were obviously the best because you can't really mess them up. I think with some work the food could be great. We will see, these are still early days. I would definitely encourage this place to work on their food though because while the beer is good, the food will drive people away. People want to eat and drink at the same time and if the food isn't great, they won't return. Enjoy the beer if you do go! I'm looking forward to re-reviewing in a few months.
