My tour of the East Coast wouldn’t be complete without visiting my favourite East Coast town, Bathurst New Brunswick, the home of Four Rivers Brewery. I have fond memories of Bathurst, meeting great people there. Shout out to Robert and Tracy, and those morning...
Mark from Brock Street: Thanks for the great review on our Pilsner. If you wanna try something really unique check out our bourbon barrel sours. These were barrel aged for two years in bourbon barrels. If you like a natural (not kettle soured) sour beer, this might be...
My armchair tourist’s journey through the East Coast continues, this time to the home of Breton Brewing, Sydney Nova Scotia, unofficial capital of Cape Breton and home of the world’s largest fiddle. You might be playing the Hernia Jig if your instrument was that big....
