Specialties
Roof Hound is a microbrewery and restaurant in Hillgrove, Nova Scotia, just outside of Digby.
We have earned a reputation for our unique way of elevating the ordinary with familiar flavour combinations in both our brewery and kitchen. Our IPAs and Kettle Sours have earned particular recognition, with our Big Stink IPA winning Gold in the IPA category at the Atlantic Canadian Brewing Awards in 2017. We are a small business, and we work hard to offer the best we can, refusing the rush the brewing process, and using local ingredients as much as we can. Stop by for a meal and pint today!
History
Established in 2016.
Roof Hound Brewing Co. Limited opened in August 2016. We began keg sales and offering growler fills of our beer that Fall, and by the end of the year we recognized the need to expand our brewing capacity. We brought in new tanks and built a bigger kettle, and by August of 2017 we began hand-bottling our beer. It has been exciting to see how far these bottles have gone, and to receive the amazing feedback that we get from craft beer lovers. We are excited to continue to grow to serve our community and beyond.
