They don't really serve food, but have a great snack menu. I had the spinach dip and chips. So good! Different than any I'd had before as it had bacon in it and was kind of cheddary. We also got the pretzel bites with beer cheese. Pretzel bites obviously homemade and delicious! Definitely worth the drive from anywhere! Service was efficient and friendly. They didn't act like we were too crazy for "fan girling" over the fact that Jonny Harris had been there. (OK - I was "fan girling" even though I'm too old for that and my husband was not doing it. ) They were out of cans of Abbey Lane in the taproom, so directed us to a nearby liquor store where we found some!

We were running late, having taken too much time at the Reynolds Museum in Wetaskiwin, and we arrived embarrassingly close to closing and they had a bachelor party planned there for that evening, even still the gentleman behind the bar gave us a tour of the facilities and a brief history of the brewery, explaining that after losing one of the last remaining businesses in Edgerton (a farm equipment rental company) some local residents bought the building and started the brewery. Now they are widely recognized for their brews - such as my favorite, The Great White Combine White IPA. The local liquor store proudly carries the breweries products, so we picked some up and sat by the Ribstone Creek itself, and enjoyed a couple. Whether you're looking for something good at the liquor store, or you're in the mood for a brewery that's a bit out of the way - Ribstone Creek is a top choice. Weird nature side note - saw a turkey vulture on our way home! Turns out there is a small breeding population in East-Central Alberta. Who knew?
