What a nice surprise to find such a great little craft brewery in Stellarton! Their beer is not…read moreavailable at the LC and only a few restaurants have it on tap, so if you're in the area, definitely check it out. The outside of the building is not overly appealing but it is accessible (has a ramp out front) and has a small patio out front. The location is a little off-putting at first as it's right on the road and kind of an industrial part of town - but it works. The inside is far more inviting with great seating options and a nice bar top to sit at. We were lucky to stop in when the owners were working who were very friendly and told us their story. The flights are super affordable and the beer was quite good. They also have a few other local options of cider and 0% drinks. A fun little fact about this place is that they do a book club and anyone can sign up. Truly a great little spot and worth stopping in.

I'm taking a crowler of the Salted Caramel Lager with me.

We came in the early afternoon and it wasn't overly busy. Two servers didn't look overly interested in being there and were slow as slugs. There was a bartender mixing drinks who looked annoyed and a cook in the food truck who was the only one actually invested in what he was doing. Seating is flimsy and grinds on the concrete floors when you try to move. Tables were crammed quite close together because a musician eventually came in to set up. The space just generally looks poorly used. Our server took a long time coming over to bring us a pitcher of beer and then again to take our food order. The glassware was dirty so she apologized and brought new glasses. By the time we poured the beer, we noticed the pitcher was even filthier. Not sure if they ever wash them. The food is just ok. Nothing to write home about. Portions are on the smaller side. $14 was the Super Bowl special for a small bacon cheeseburger with nothing else, no side. $19 for fish and chips is a bit of a better deal because the fish is big but it's quite greasy. Fries were hard and stale and not really a generous portion - don't opt to pay $4 for them as a side! We watched the cook push out orders and wait around for the servers to pick them up. He'd look out trying to get their attention and seemed completely unimpressed with them. Other than brining our drinks and food, the server didn't bother to come by once in the hour + we sat at the table. When she finally came for us to pay, she seemed terrified to have to talk to a human. Overall, just a weird vibe for a place like this. This could be a great spot but it didn't leave a great first impression. Might give it one more shot next time we're in town, but we won't be ordering food. We'll see how long it takes to get an (overpriced) cocktail.

Yet another new craft brewery in Nova Scotia in 2013! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to drive…read moreto beautiful Pictou for the grand opening. They really wanted the grand opening to be special and, for that day, were waiving the growler fee and even giving a free glass with each growler! Uncle Leo's "home" is a beautiful country-esque building with a nice sign; it really fits in well with the surroundings. When we got there, there was a long line-up, proving the point that craft beer is not just an urban thing but that foks in more rural areas are catching on to good beer! For now, they produce two beers, a red ale and an IPA, with the help of famed beer guru Greg Nash. Both beers are fantastic, although my taste buds prefer hoppier types like the IPA. As IPAs go, this one is somewhat tame, with beautiful floral notes with a touch of bitterness from the hops. A really good IPA for nice summer days. Let's hope their beers make their way into many pubs and restaurants!

There is a small patio that wraps two sides of the building but also a huge beer garden under a tent that has picnic bench seating. It's dog friendly. You can get pizza or tacos on site but we didn't get to that. There were a lot of folks getting food from the indoor canteen-style restaurant or the outside built-in shack. The beer was really good and they don't have set flights. You can buy each 4oz sample for $3 each to 'build your own' and choose as many as you want. Great varieties from light to porter. This place gets busy but there is no table service so lines move fast. Bar service was efficient and friendly. Location is just off the main road so it's not visible and parking is along the side.

It's great to live close to a place like Sea Level Brewing. In the same building as The Port Pub,…read moreSea Level provides their microbrewed beer. With nice range of beer ranging from ales to porter. There is a regular selection of 4 core brews (Planters Pale Ale, Rojo Mojo Red Ale, Blue Heron Extra Special Bitter, and Port in a Storm Porter) with an interesting seasonal beer (the most recent one was Dussel-Port Altbier) to keep things interesting. Brewmaster Randy Lawrence is friendly and cares about the beer that he makes. For locals there are refillable growlers (1 L bottles) and there are individual 650 mL bottles. They also have party kegs if you need more beer. Being able to have locally-brewed beer made with local ingredients is one of the very nice parts of living in a beautiful agricultural area with people who are committed to making great things where they live.

extremely unhappy with my service here. I arrived and asked the woman helping us to tell me a…read morelittle bit about the beers and she was completely clueless about every single one. so much so, that she grabbed the sheet, clearly made for staff use and told me to read it to learn about the beer. They also do not fill any growlers that aren't their own (unheard of for micro breweries.. i consider it a hobby to travel to different breweries and fill existing growlers). She then suggested i could get some different cans BUT didn't tell me they only sell 6 packs of each one. the entire point of a craft brewery is sampling different ones. if the woman serving me had been helpful or friendly that would have compensated for their other short comings.

It is really easy to access, but is hiding behind the Taco Bell so it is easy to drive past it the first time if you do not know what you are looking for. Once you have found it the tasting room is a lot of fun. They have a wide range of rums and vodkas that you can sample as well as their sodas which are premixed drinks with soda water. You can also order a flight of cocktails which the staff makes right there in front of you. The day we visited the staff member was amazing and was very kind and helpful. With your cocktail flight in hand, you can head out outside to enjoy drinking them. The drinks were all very tasty. We tried the Blueberry Mojito the Creamsicle, Espresso Martini and the Paradise. Our two favorites were the Espresso Martini and Paradise. We stopped because we were working on getting stamps for the Cheers Trail, but it would be a great stop for anyone that enjoys small distilleries from the local area.
