Ice Cream Ale Trail

From the sunny plains of Medicine Hat to the foothills near the Crowsnest Pass, this sweet and hoppy itinerary invites you to sip, swirl, and savour your way through southern Alberta. Kick things off in Medicine Hat and roll west along Highway 3, scooping up visits to charming breweries and family-run ice cream shops. Why beer and ice cream? Because nothing bring joy and aids a hot summer day quite like a cold craft pint or a double scoop of ice cream. With rotating seasonal flavours, small-batch surprises, and community at their core, these featured breweries and ice cream shops are worth a visit. So grab your pint glass and your waffle cone—it’s time to hop in the car and churn up some memories on the ice cream ale trail!
