About Annex Ale Project
Annex Ale Project is a medium sized brewery known for both their beer and their non-alcoholic sodas. They are located within the Barley Belt and only a 5 minute walk from the 39th Avenue CTrain station. The brewery seats up to 100 people, and it is often packed, so making conversation is easy. There is also a patio if you would prefer to sit outside, and there are bike racks out front.
Annex Ale Project is a nice space, often full of nice people. They have 3 core beers, but also brew all sorts of experiments. You can now find Lil Empire Burger and the Annex Soda Shop located within the brewery as well. Also, there are absolutely no TVs.
Annex was founded by Andrew Bullied (formerly head brewer at Village Brewery) and Erica O’Gorman, who opened the doors on May 4, 2017.
