India Pale Ale
Why our IPA Isn't Just an IPA
Sometimes the best things come from a less than ideal situation. Back in the 1700s, British brewers were charged with the important task of exporting palatable beer from England to colonists in India. After many failed attempts to successfully ship the brews overseas, trial and error pointed towards a solution.
In order to keep the beer fresh and delicious on the long and hot boat journey, brewers discovered that using mighty doses of hops and brewing to a higher alcohol level would keep the beer tasting great.
Our tribute to this unique ale tale is Wild Rose IPA; true to its roots and a real brew of integrity.
Authentic India Pale Ale
Wild Rose IPA (India Pale Ale) is a beautiful copper-coloured ale, rich in caramel malt character and well balanced with plenty of hops. An authentic India Pale Ale, this IPA is handcrafted for the true ale drinker.
So hop to it.

Did you know?
This award winning beer tastes nothing like a nationally distributed IPA that you may have heard of. Of course, the nationally sold IPA is not at all true to the style, so we're OK with the differences.
We recommend pairing this robust beer with some serious food like Alberta beef or some hearty, delicious Brats 'n' Beer like we serve at the Wild Rose Brewery Taproom.
