Adventuring the open roads through Southeast Alberta, you’ll start this tour surrounded by beautiful coulees and bluffs, with a welcoming blue sky and sunshine. Canada’s Sunniest City, Medicine Hat, offers three unique breweries — all with dog-friendly patios. They each tell a different story of the city’s history with their brewery names and locations, while serving a wide array of tasty beer. Onwards toward The Rockies, you’ll visit five more breweries along the way and sip a variety of refreshing home-made brews. From IPA’s, Blondes, Lagers and Stout, to Scotch, Citrus and Pale Ales, and food menus that elevate each drink, you'll savour the flavour of authentic Alberta-made beer, using Alberta-grown hops, one brewery at a time.
