About Wild Rose Brewery Ltd
TWO ENTREPRENEURS, AN OLD AIR FORCE HANGAR, AND A DREAM.
Only true entrepreneurs would look at a WWII Air Force hangar and see a brewery. In 2006, our enthusiastic tribe donated supplies, picked up their tools and paintbrushes, and converted a 1936 quonset hut at Currie Barracks into a microbrewery. Our Taproom, AF23, was born. Though we expanded to a state-of-the-art brewery in 2014, we still use the 30 hL copper kettles at AF23 for our small batch and innovation brews. A perfect showcase for our fresh-local-authentic philosophy, AF23 remains our point of pride.

As the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy tells us, the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe and everything - including a delicious Session Pale Ale - is 42.

We love to take a world favourite and add a wild twist. This amber coloured pale ale features a Belgian yeast that delivers a bit of spice and is perfectly balanced by toasty amber malts and just the right amount of hops. Another delicious adventure on the Wild frontier of beer.
Style: Pale Ale - Belgian
ABV: 5.5% IBU: 45
Take your palate on a trip to Germany with our take on a Schwartzbier. This rich black lager (that's right a black lager) uses specially imported ingredients to recreate an old world favourite. Roasted malts are used to give the beer a dark chocolate flavor which is deftly balanced with the clean bitterness of German noble hops. Special German lager yeast and extended cold aging ensures this beer is silky smooth.
Style: Schwarzbier
ABV: 5.1% IBU: 27

This is our take on the classic German Oktoberfest style beer. This amber lager has been cold aged for 6 weeks to ensure ultimate smooth finish. The emphasis is squarely on the malt for this beer. In addition to Pilsner, Pale, Vienna and Munich malts we’ve added some Beechwood smoked malt; this lends a pleasant mild smoky flavour and aroma to the beer.
We’ve tried to stay true to the original Oktoberfest beers noted for their full bodied, smooth character. These lager beers should have a nice bready/caramel malt character but still finish dry and be easy to drink. By incorporating the Northern German technique of using smoked malt, we’ve added a layer of complexity to the beer.
Prost!
