Rival Trade Brewing Co. sits in Rocky Mountain House, Alberta, where it marries the region’s pioneer heritage with contemporary brewing skill. The brewery’s “Living History” series showcases inventive ales that nod to old‑time recipes, reinforcing a sense of place that feels more like a storybook than a marketing ploy.
Twelve taps keep the bar buzzing, offering everything from a bright Orange Cream Ale to a floral Lavender Shandy and a robust Porter. The North Saskatchewan NEIPA has earned particular fanfare, while a low‑gluten option proves the brewers are listening to every palate. Reviewers praise the sheer variety and the confidence with which each style is executed.
Food arrives from an on‑site food truck serving burritos, poutine, hot dogs, wings and a rotating lunch special, complementing the pub‑style menu of chips and dip. A spacious patio welcomes dogs, and a friendly bar staff match drinks to taste, often offering samples before you decide. Regular events and a lively, family‑friendly atmosphere turn the taproom into a community hub where laughter and good conversation flow as freely as the beer.
Dawson Gray performs live at Rival Trade Brewing Co., featuring a show on the Edward Jones Stage from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM with doors opening at 6:00 PM.
Rival Trade Brewing offers a wide selection of unique beers with great service. Many reviewers praise the friendly atmosphere, welcoming pet policy, and excellent brews like the Orange Cream Ale and Porter.
