Lacombe City Council approves expansion at Blindman Brewing

LACOMBE- Council has approved a site-specific exception to the Land Use Bylaw to allow for a proposed microbrewery taproom expansion for Blindman Brewing.

The expansion of the site at 3413 – 53 Avenue consists of the use of the existing mezzanine above the taproom, and an exterior patio balcony.

To accommodate these additions, two stairwells are required. One is proposed inside of the building, while the other connects the upper patio to the south parking lot in the event of an emergency.

“Council listened to and carefully considered viewpoints on all sides of this issue, and we are confident that we have struck the right balance between development standards and a promoting a positive business climate,” said Mayor Grant Creasey. “With this expansion, we wish the applicants continued success in their business operations.”
