I did the tour years ago. It was my first brewery tour. Since then, I’ve done brewery tours all over North America. The problem is, this tour is so good that it sets an impossible standard. Even if you’re not a dedicated beer drinker, the tour is fun and interesting. The history of AK is so uniquely Nova Scotia its a great way for a tourist to experience our history and culture. AK is one of the major breweries in Nova Scotia, and Canada for that matter, but if you’re a craft beer snob, you’ll still enjoy yourself here.

8. 2 Crows Brewing Co.

Reviewed By Growfbear - Halifax, Canada
2 Crows - only been open a year, but this small experimental brewery is awesome. They have a small bar, serving their own beers, and some invitation brews too. Simply presented, the beers have great taste, wild and wacky variety, and in a relaxed area right in the middle of the brewery itself! The brewery staff often man the bar, so you also get a great opportunity to talk to them about their creations, and learn a little about brewing too. Once you're here, you won't want to go home. But when you have to, they also sell cans, so you can take even more beer home with you!
