Sea Change Brewing Co.: A Craft Brewery with a Heartbeat of Art and Community

Nestled in the vibrant heart of Edmonton, Alberta, Sea Change Brewing Co. is more than just a brewery—it's a testament to the spirit of creativity, community, and resilience. Founded in 2017 by a group of musicians, artists, and craft beer enthusiasts, Sea Change quickly became a beloved fixture in the local craft beer scene.  Their beers have become a staple in the craft department at Fort Mac Liquor Store.

The Origin Story

The inception of Sea Change Brewing Co. is a tale of passion and perseverance. Coming from the Edmonton punk rock music scene, the founders infused their D.I.Y. ethic into every aspect of the brewery. With no initial funding, no detailed plan, and minimal experience, they relied on their community and a shared dream to build something unique. Their journey from a single-beer micro-brand to an award-winning brewery exemplifies the power of hard work, collaboration, and creative vision.

The Beers

Sea Change's lineup is as diverse and unpretentious as the people who make it. Each beer is crafted with care, staying true to traditional styles while incorporating unique twists. Here are some highlights:



• Post-Pils West Coast Pilsner: A refreshing take on the classic Pilsner with a crisp finish.
• Siren Sour IPA: A bold, tart IPA with a complex flavour profile.
• The Wolf Hazy Pale Ale: A crowd favourite, known for its juicy hop character and hazy appearance.
• Death Wave Light Lager: A light and easy-drinking lager that won gold at the Canadian Brewing Awards.
• Prairie Fairy Blackberry Wheat Ale: A fruity wheat ale that supports the LGBTQ2S+ community through donations to the Fruit Loop Society​

The Taprooms

Sea Change operates two distinct taprooms, each offering a unique culinary experience. The original Edmonton taproom serves up delicious banh mi sandwiches, while the Beaumont location features a taqueria with mouth-watering tacos. Both locations provide a welcoming atmosphere where patrons can enjoy great food, great beer, and even better company​.

Community and Creativity

The brewery’s commitment to community is evident in everything they do. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sea Change quickly adapted by ramping up their packaging and delivery services to keep up with demand. They also used this time to innovate, creating playful and practical packaging solutions like the dartboard-printed beer trays​​.

Sea Change’s connection to the arts extends beyond the brewery walls. They’ve collaborated with local radio stations and supported numerous cultural events, solidifying their role as a cornerstone of Edmonton’s creative community. Their commitment to giving back is also notable, with significant donations to various local organizations and non-profits​.

Looking Ahead

With plans for a music festival and continuous innovation in their brewing techniques, Sea Change Brewing Co. shows no signs of slowing down. Their story is a testament to the power of community, creativity, and an unyielding commitment to quality and inclusivity.
