Located at 5 Sussex St, Spryfield, NS, Serpent Brewing is Spryfield’s first and only craft brewery. They are new to the craft beer scene in Nova Scotia and focus on Belgian inspired beers. Their taproom is a welcoming space with trivia, karaoke, live music, and lots of great beer. They also have an outdoor patio and regularly have food trucks parked out front that serve up an assortment of delicious food to pair with Serpent’s range of Belgian beers. Our pick is their 33 Belgian Tripel as it is bold with lots of flavour. It’s a great sipper to share with friends.

Located at 612 Windmill Rd, Dartmouth, NS, Upstreet Brewing, originally a Prince Edward Island brewery, has since expanded to Nova Scotia where they are located within the Upstreet BBQ Brewhouse. What started out as a hobby in 2006 quickly became an Atlantic Canadian craft brewery with locations in both Nova Scotia and PEI. In addition to beer, Upstreet also makes a line of craft sodas, and most notably, Libra, a non-alcoholic beer line that has numerous styles and has received major international attention for a non-alcoholic beverage. Our pick is their Rhuby Social: Strawberry Rhubarb Witbier as it is the perfect crushable summer treat.
