10 Best Breweries in Dartmouth

"Need to wet your whistle after exploring the Discovery Centre?. Head to Garrison Brewing Co. Across from the Seaport Farmer’s Market, Garrison has a flavor for every taste – and a lovely patio in the summer, too!"

"A grandaddy of the Halifax brewing scene, Garrison is down by the waterfront in an impressive warehouse space full of upturned beer barrels and scuffed wood. There's a huge range of brews: if you're not sure..."

"No sweat: head for the city's only craft cidery, with wares made from 100% Nova Scotia apples. Try a dry Pippin Russet, a super-tart Farmhouse Sour or a..."

"One of Halifax’s most popular craft brewers keeps its tap room open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, and 10pm the rest of the week. After enjoying, say, a flight of select Propeller brews, head downstairs to the Propeller Arcade, a funky basement crammed with pinball and arcade machines. Non-alcoholic drinks, including their all-natural sodas, are also available."

"Next stop is Propeller Brewing at 2015 Gottingen Street, about five minutes away from 2 Crows. Propeller is one of the oldest brewers, having opened here in 1997. Propeller has brought in a new head brewer to refresh the brand and added new beers on to their award winning lineup."

"In the first wave of Halifax microbreweries, Propeller is still leading the way with its consistently good beers: the core range includes a pilsner, a lager, a porter and several pale ales, with seasonals based..."

"Location: 1932 Brunswick St., 2crowsbrewing.comOpen since: February 2017The rundown: New to the scene, but holds one of the biggest of the small-scale microbrewing facilities in Halifax. The space is huge and completely open to the whole brewery, so you can sit, have a drink and watch the beer happen right in front of you, barrier free.What to order: The Pollyanna IPA is their #1, and it’s juicy and tropicalWhat they’re known for: They just released a Brett Porter that’s suppose to steal hearts.Beers on tap: 6 of their own, 4 to 6 rotating guest taps from breweries around the provinceGuided tours: The brewery is open-concept, but if a brewer is on site, they are always up for a tour."

"Now it’s time to work off some of that food and drink by a 10-minute walk and climbing one of many hills in the city to 1932 Brunswick Street, home to one of Nova Scotia’s best new breweries, 2 Crows Brewing. The brewery has been open for just over a year and has been named one of the top 50 new breweries in North America by BeerAdvocate. 2 Crows shook up the scene by brewing unique beers using foedres and wild yeast and all kinds of fruit."

"Last stop is at the tiny taproom at Tidehouse Brewing at 5187 Salter Street, about 10 minutes away from Stillwell Beergarden. Tidehouse has become noted for brewing experimental beers. The small bar is cozy and there’s always vinyl spinning and great conversation happening."

"Location: 6041 North St., unfuckingfiltered.comOpen since: 2015The rundown: With beer names like “Exile on North Street” and “Play with Fire”, this brewery is quirky, and all they care about is good beer, no bells and whistles.What to order: Double Orange IPAWhat they’re known for: They have the best IPAs in the city, so anything hoppy.Beers on tap: 7 to 8 of their own with a rotating guest tapGuided tours: Mmmm not technically, but again it’s Nova Scotia and it’s a microbrewery and they would probably give a pretty entertaining tour/would be up for it if you asked"

"After that lovely meal and exploring a bit of Dartmouth on foot, we decided it was time to hit up a brewery. We chose Brightwood Brewery!. We got a flight of 4 beers featuring: Vermont is for Lovers New England IPA, Minutes California Common Lager, Made Me Blush rosé IPA, and lastly, BMAC IPA Memorial Beer."

"One of the newest to the brunch game (yes, it’s sadly only available on the weekends) is beer bar Hopyard. Their brunch menu, like their regular menu, is full of interesting flavour profiles. Dishes like the pork belly sweet potato hash with salsa verde or the breakfast bowl with hash, eggs, bacon, rise and grind sauce, Cheerio brittle and crispy kale."

"This favourite night spot provides an intimate dining experience and boasts a wide selection of desserts and other offerings. A slice of classic carrot cake is always a fan favourite, and you can't go wrong with any of the cheesecake selections. As a bonus, the candlelit atmosphere lets you hide the fact that you ate half a cheesecake by yourself."

"A dessert bar, The Middle Spoon features desserts, desserts and more desserts to choose from!. This polished, contemporary dessert bar is a great social spot to meet up with family and friends over drinks and treats. The Middle Spoon offers desserts of all sorts including pies, pastries, cakes, cookies and ice cream to suit your sweet preference."

"One for those late-night sweet cravings: a cocktail bar that also serves ice-cream sundaes and sinful desserts such as lemon pavlova, peanut-butter pie and chocolate lava cake."

"Usually a good spot but today I had left with nothing after sitting and waiting for 20 minutes More reviews"
