Venue review

The musician's read

Eighty-Eight Brewing Co. is a Calgary taproom that also hosts multi-band indie, rock and alternative events. The 21+ brewery setting gives original acts a useful middle ground between casual taproom music and a full club show. Bands with compact setups and enough identity to stand out on a shared bill should fit especially well.
