  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Rye Beer | 
    6.3% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    12 IBU (Trace Bitterness) 
    2018 World Beer Cup Silver winner for Rye Beer Category. This is southern Alberta, so let's talk crops! The hardiest of cereals, rye outperforms all other cover crops on infertile, sandy or acidic soil or on poorly prepared land. Nature can be a ruthless machine on the bald prairie, but our farmers have learned to ryes against the machine! This tough little grain adds character and complexity to our beer, bringing bready and spicy notes to a classic Rye style. Ryes Against the Machine is our tribute to autumn, hard working harvesters, and the rich agricultural heritage of Medicine Hat.
    Inaugural Batch: Monday, September 26, 2016 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    IPA - American | 
    6.6% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    65 IBU (Robust Bitterness) 
    Our flagship IPA! This classic west coast IPA exhibits flavours of pine, lemon peel, orange peel, and grapefruit, followed by a touch of floral and herbal qualities. Backed with a small percentage of caramel malt. This beer is well balanced and incredibly refreshing!
    Inaugural Batch: Tuesday, August 9, 2016 
  •  3.7 on Untappd.
    Pale Ale - New Zealand | 
    5.2% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    20 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    The Feather (HuruHuru) has a pale ultra light body, with light tones of lemon and lime. Let it warm up and you might be able to detect slight mint and tropical fruit flavours!
    Inaugural Batch: Wednesday, November 1, 2017 
  •  3.8 on Untappd.
    Stout - Oatmeal | 
    5.7% Alcohol/Vol. | 
    20 IBU (Subtle Bitterness) 
    In 1908 a "phantom train" was seen barreling head-on toward a passenger train just outside of Dunmore, AB on two occasions by the same engineer and fireman, who kept quiet about the sighting after watching the ghost vessel veer off into the prairie night. Tragically, several days later a train collision occurred at that very location killing many crew members, including the driver of the train who saw the phantom premonition. This beer puts forth flavours of chocolate, roast, molasses, and caramel. Evened out with traditional hops, and accentuated with oats for a smooth finish. A perfect winter beverage!

    Named after and brewed with the local Medicine Hat Band One Shot Left. This is a special twist on the NEIPA. Packed with hops, this beer has strong representations of stonefruits, melons, and citrus. Backed by a slight bitterness, this beer is well balanced and smoooooooth as can be.

    Dark in colour but an approachable brew.

    I love this place. The beer is excellent; many great standard beers and a cool selection of more unique brews. Kids are allowed, you can bring in your own food, and there is a great selection of board games to play. The staff is friendly and helpful and you often see the owners having a pint and giving personal tours. I love a long afternoon of sampling beers and playing different board games with old and new friends!

    Two years on from my last review and this Wonderful Brewery is now Perfect. Over a two dozen different brews, all with imaginative and entertaining names have graced the taps of this trendsetting brewpub, and their ever expanding menus offers near-perfect accompaniments to their hig quality craft beers. The food service menu matches the beers with complementing small bites to accompany and enhance your craft beverage selections. Without question, Hell's Basement is a great place to hang, sample and shop.

    I have never had a beer from Hells Basement that I wasn't impressed with. It is likely Albertas most underrated brewery; it should be talked about far more than it is. I've been to the brewery a few times now and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. Definitely try some Hells Basement beer!
