Hell’s Basement Brewery

The name is inspired by Rudyard Kipling’s famous quote from the 1800s about Medicine Hat having, “all Hell for a basement”, due to the abundance of natural gas found under the City. Framed beer bottle labels line the walls, a cupboard of board games invites a friendly game, and the many taps serve beer, vodka seltzers, and their non-alcoholic drink, Heck-of-a-Root Beer. For a snack, local small bites are available from Medicine Hat Meat Traders.

Next door is the Tasting Room, where a trivia game is often hosted, and outdoors is the Patio Playground. Pair a creative cocktail with a savoury meal, and visit on a Friday to try an extravagant feature fishbowl.

Medicine Hat Brewing Company

In 1912, the Medicine Hat Brewing Company began serving old fashioned lager, ale, and stout to our City’s early, thirsty residents. When the Temperance Movement picked up, this popular brewery was forced to close. Over a century later, the Medicine Hat Brewing Company name was dusted off and again serves pristine and tasteful house-brewed beer with an impressive food menu, completely curated by the chef himself.
