Posted on Mon, Oct 25, 2010 by Big Rock Brewery

Big Rock Brewery has always prided itself on giving back, but when we can do it with others in the beer business, even better!

Day two of Edmonton Folk Fest!

Posted on Fri, Aug 06, 2010 by Big Rock Brewery

The second day of the Edmonton Folk Music Festival was a great one (aside from the fact that I lost my jacket, boohoo)! Our first stop was the Big Rock Beer gardens of course, where we met up with Bryn, last year’s Grasshoppin’ Contest Winner! It was so nice to chat with her about our experiences and join forces in convincing people to enter for next year!

Grasshoppin' to Calgary!

Posted on Mon, Jul 26, 2010 by Big Rock Brewery

Stop #3: Calgary Folk Music Festival I can’t believe we’ve never been to Calgary Folk Music Festival before! Some neat things about the festival: 1-It takes place on Prince’s Island Park, in the middle of the Bow River. I didn’t expect such a lovely setting! 2-There are TONS of food vendors (a whole “marketplace” full of them), and lots of tantalizing choices for every meal. 3-The festival features activities and installations to check out in between your favorite acts.

Eddie's back, don't take him again!

Posted on Mon, Jul 05, 2010 by Big Rock Brewery

After all the beer commercials were played and all the awards handed out at the 17th Annual Big Rock Eddies, there was a bit of gloom hanging over the heads of some of the staff here at Big Rock. No doubt, the event was another success; we launched our new Gopher Lager, we celebrated the Brewery's 25th anniversary, and everyone had a great time, but in the hours after the event something was obviously missing. EDDIE WAS GONE!
