    Great little Brewery in Dartmouth! The atmosphere is very calm and inviting. Staff members were kind and accommodating. A good variety of beer, with lots of unique flavors. The location is wonderful, being right downtown in Dartmouth. I'll definitely be back!

    What a fun spot to spend an afternoon in! We popped in for a beer and ended up ordering two flights to try an assortment of beers and split a yummy buffalo chicken hand pie from nearby Humble Pie. All of the beers were yummy and the staff were super friendly! I can see us making this a regular stop on a weekend afternoon.

    Ended up at Alderney Landing location and it was wonderful. Service was impeccable and the beer was delicious. Covid protocols were actively reinforced which made it a very comfortable place to be. Best view in Dartmouth!! Will be returning without hesitation.

    This place looks amazing and is filled with natural light which makes you feel happier while you're there. They have a good selection of craft beer and some great snacks like samosas, pakoras, and Jamaican beef patties.

  • The Big Lift

    Style: IPA - American

    ABV: 6.6    IBU: 71

    Pale gold in colour, the wheat and Munich malt give this brew a nicely balanced, medium body. Heavily hopped for flavor and aroma using a combination of American and English hops. Palisade and Citra give it floral-cirtrusy tastes while Northern Brewer gives it minty and woody undertones.

  • Made Me Blush

    Style: IPA - Belgian

    ABV: 6.8    IBU: 0

    We went after a beer that was similar to a rosé wine. The Belgium yeast  really complements the hibiscus and rose hips and there's a load of hallertau blanc and mosaic to bring out the wine flavors. This is one of our most interesting beers!

  • Vermont Is For Lovers

    Style: IPA - New England / Hazy

    ABV: 7.5    IBU: 80

    The haziness comes from the massive oat and hops additions. The Mosaic and Citra give this brew tons of tropical and citrus flavours. All the hops were late addition and we did a double dry hop to ensure this beer is all flavour/aroma and low on bittering. A textbook, pillowy, NEIPA inspired by some of the greats from Vermont

    Style: Pilsner - Other

    ABV: 5.5    IBU: 0

    The great ladies from the Halifax Ladies Beer League came into the brewery at the end of july 2019 to brew this beer with us for the first time! The goal was to make an easy drinking, juicy, pilsner to be ready in time for seaport beerfest... we didn't make our deadline. The beer needed time to finish so we gave it to it. We are super happy with the results from waiting on this Simcoe and Idaho 7 hopped brew! We hope you enjoy!

  • Mojito Crushable

    Style: Sour - Fruited

    ABV: 4.7    IBU: 0

    Part of our “Crushable” sour beer series! We developed this style of beer a couple of years ago with the good folks at Pop Culture Kombucha. We use the scoby probiotic (used for making kombucha) to kettle sour the beer to the desired tartness! We believe we are the only brewery in the country souring our beer this way! For this iteration, we added fresh, pureed, strawberry and mint leaves into the fermentor to make this hazy summer slammer shine!

    This beer was inspired by Oktoberfest, the Bavarian festival held annually in Munich, Germany from mid/late september to the first sunday in october. the Märzen is one of the most popular beers consumed at the festival and we decided to put our own twist on it. Our version is amber in colour, bready, crisp and contains a hint of smoke from cherry wood smoked malt additions. Prost!
