PINTS & PLATES: Brightwood Bright Lite Salmon Bites
Posted by Stephen Barrett on
Located at 35 Portland Street, Dartmouth, NS, Brightwood Brewery started when founders Ian and Matt started brewing beer in a basement on Brightwood Avenue. They eventually expanded to sell commercially at the Alderney Landing Market in 2016 and eventually moved into their new brewery on Portland Street in 2018. The taproom regularly hosts musical guests and is a great hangout for the downtown Dartmouth community. Their beer lineup leans heavily on IPAs in various styles ranging from West Coast to NEIPAs, and from Hazys to Rosés, but they also have other styles such as light beer or porters. Our pick is their Made Me Blush Rose IPA as it’s a unique take on a classic style.
