Tatamagouche Brewing Co

Top choice in Nova Scotia


Tata's beloved brewery now has a Nova Scotia–wide reputation, and for good reason: its beers are world-class. The lagers and session ales in particular are worth trying, and look out for 'weird' beers such as a chocolatey breakfast porter and a wild-yeast plum beer.
