Ross Street Patio celebrating 10 years with new local ale

May 18, 2022 | 3:15 PM

Red Deer’s Ross Street Patio is celebrating its 10th summer this year and the Downtown Business Association (DBA) is encouraging you to join them in the celebration.

DBA officials say a local brewer is releasing a new Raspberry Ale named after the downtown’s most loved feature – The Ross Street Patio.

On Friday, May 27, the Downtown Business Association will co-host a free tasting from 5:00-8:00 p.m., complete with live music from Paeton Cameron and James Adams, along with some light snacks.

Visitors can then grab a seat on one of the adjacent restaurant patios for a full-sized Ross Street Patio Beer and enjoy the show. The event is free and open to the public.

Amanda Gould, Executive Director of the DBA says, “This is such an exciting time for the Ross Street Patio and downtown. We have so much planned over the summer and the next natural step is to license the entire patio through council deeming it an Entertainment District. We will find out in the beginning of June if council approve the bylaw and, straight after that, you can start enjoying full-sized beverages right on the patio while enjoying the summer entertainment!”
