We completely walked by this place ... as it's only a garage door on Water Street (which was closed on our first pass). However, after coming back some time later ... we found it with their garage door open. Unfortunately, it's only a brewery with no taproom and could only do growler fills from their taps ... so we weren't able to try anything. However, the brewer(?) was there and she was super friendly in directing us to their large refrigerated case of canned beers for sale. We weren't quite sure about their local open container laws and we couldn't bring the beer back onto the cruise ship we arrived on. So, we opted to just buy some glassware to take home with us.
But don't despair ... we ended going to Woodchucks Axe Throwing (directly out back on Prince William St. behind/above them) to find a large selection of their beers on tap. That's where I found their Lupulus Interruptus DIPA (8.2%) and it was absolutely fantastic! So good in fact ... that I missed trying some of their others including Pink Dwarf Sour (5.5%), Parrtown ESB Bitter (5.5%), and Black 47 Nitro Stout (4.7%).
Whether it's a can or growler from the brewery ... or at one of the many other bars in Saint John, it's definitely worth giving their beers a try. read more
