Big Spruce Brewing – Organic Craft Beer and Farm-to-Fork Food
Overview
About Big Spruce Brewing:
Big Spruce Brewing is Atlantic Canada’s only organic, on-farm craft brewery and hop yard. We brew only unfiltered, unpasteurised, unbelievably good beer. Drop by our Sprucetique for growlers, cans, and speciality bottles of many year-round and seasonal beers. Our gourmet food truck features local and sustainable cuisine, plus there’s live music on our screened-in patio Thursday to Sunday, May to October. You can find us across Nova Scotia in many NSLC stores, and seasonally at the Mabou Farmer’s Market.
With a commanding south-facing view of the Bras D’Or Lake (a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve) from our picnic tables, outdoor bar, or cosy patio, you’ll want to stay all afternoon, so stop in, grab a seat, and soak in the beer-drenched view!
Open Sunday-Thursday: 11:30am-6:00pm
Friday-Saturday: 11:30am-7:00pm
Food Available onsite Thursday-Sunday
