Hard Knox Brewery

About Hard Knox Brewery

Hard Knox Brewery Inc. is a micro-brewery in the startup phase of building a production facility and taproom, for tastings, in the tourist town of Black Diamond, Alberta, located in the business park with frontage on Highway 7, the main road entering Black Diamond from the East, which is a thoroughfare to the Kananaskis, 22x south to Longview, Crowsnest Pass and the US border. 10 thousand cars pass through the main intersection of Black Diamond every day during high season. Developing the brand, and defining a niche within the Craft Beer industry is key to success. Like the roots of the chosen name, Hard Knox, a reflection of how the area came to be back in the 1920’s, hardworking coal miners, oil & gas rig hands, farmers, and ranchers, HKB represents the many people throughout the years that have experienced a bit of “hard knocks” in their lives, with the support of the community to see them through the tough times. This sense of community along with our Taproom will provide customers a western industrial feel, with the history of the area proudly displayed in pictures from archives as a conversation piece for the tourists, and a reflection of the past history for all those that pass through. HKB will serve not just another Craft Beer, as we plan to develop a collection of well-crafted specialty and seasonal Artisan beers, unlike any other, supporting the Alberta barley and malt industry, using local ingredients and wild yeasts captured from the area. The beer will appeal to the adventurous craft beer fan, male and female consumers who enjoy the true essence of what makes craft beer so unique; creative recipes that will take your taste buds off the beaten track. To begin, we will produce four styles of beer which will be our primary beers, our ‘flagship’ styles consistently brewed year after year. Look for the Heritage style Brewery facing Hwy 7 between Tim Hortons and Rona this summer of 2017!
