## About

We have been brewing beer since 2018 at The Monolith, a facility dedicated to creating spontaneous and mixed fermentation beers. These beers are inspired by Belgian Lambics, using traditional techniques like turbid mashing and fermentation in a coolship. What makes them truly unique is that they're made in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, a city located in one of the world's most productive grain-growing regions.
In addition to The Monolith, Blind Enthusiasm operated another brewery, the Market Brewery, which was known for its crisp lagers, rich ales, and smooth barrel-aged beers. However, both the Market Brewery and the restaurant Biera closed at the end of 2024 as the company shifted its focus entirely to the Monolith beer program.
At The Monolith, Blind Enthusiasm produces a variety of beer blends, including straight blends (multiple barrels mixed without any additions), blends fermented in spirit barrels, dry-hopped blends for unique fruit flavors, and blends refermented with fresh, local Canadian fruit. After releasing its first mixed fermentation beers in 2019, Blind Enthusiasm has grown, with its production now mostly focused on spontaneous beers. The brewery's spontaneous program has become one of the largest in North America, with more than 400 puncheons (large barrels) actively fermenting. In recent years, Blind Enthusiasm has won several international awards, solidifying its reputation as a world-class producer of spontaneous and mixed fermentation beers.
