Brewing Medicine Hat's Finest

Continuing a Centuries-Old Tradition

In 1912, the Medicine Hat Brewing Company began serving old-fashioned lager, ale and stout to our city’s early, thirsty residents. It’s hot and dry here and we all know how a good beer can cool you off after a hard day’s work.

When the Temperance Movement picked up, this popular brewery – One of the Hat’s first – was forced to close.

But you can’t keep a good thing down. Over a century later, the Medicine Hat Brewing Company name has been dusted off and again serves thirsty, hard-working hands Timeless Craft Beer.

The Beer The Food

“Awesome beer”

“Love love love this place. Beer is extremely good and the ambiance is just right. Great tin ceiling and really friendly staff. Don’t think I’ve had a beer from there that I don’t actually like. Burnside blood orange is the best.”

Burnside Blood Orange Blonde Ale

A.P. Burns was a noted businessman, contractor, builder and rancher in post-1900 Medicine Hat. One of his business endeavours was as a principal in the Burnside Development Corporation that was formed with several prominent early citizens including: H.L. Tweed, C.R. Mitchell, Charles S. Pingle & Dr. C.S. Smith. Each shareholder brought either capital or land from what is now the Burnside area into the corporation for the purpose of developing the area into an urban subdivision. Over 100 years later, Burnside still sits as bare land, but the views of the red rock coulees is spectacular when the sun is setting. It’s a glow that resembles the color of a fire, similar to what you’d expect from a blood orange ale. The Burnside Blood Orange uses our Hatfield Blonde as the base and then we add copious amounts of real blood orange puree. The end result is the perfect thirst quencher, one of Mitch’s mom’s favorites and we are sure A.P. Burns would be quite fond of it as well.
