Black wolf is our interpretation of a Cascadian Dark Ale. Also known as an India Black Ale, this style was born in the Cascadia region- A bioregion that was once proposed as its own country, extending from Alaska, through B.C. down the west coast to Oregon and northern California. The name Black wolf is a tribute to the wolves that still roam the Cascadian valleys. it is also our very own offering to the wolf-dog that was sacrificed to the river serpent by a Black foot man in exchange for a "saamis", or Medicine Hat, needed to save his people from famine in our own local lore. The story of the saamis is depicted in a brick mural in Medicine Hat's City Hall.
