EVENT: Nova Scotia Craft Beer Week 2018
Fun fact: Did you know Nova Scotia is home to more craft breweries per capita than any other province in the country? To celebrate, the Craft Brewers Association of Nova Scotia hosts the largest celebration of craft beer in eastern Canada – Nova Scotia Craft Beer Week!

Their passion for craft beer is well-shared, as the fourth annual Craft Beer Week brings people together from all over Canada, as well as the United States.
From learning about the origins of craft beer at Battery Park Beer Bar to taking moonlit sampling tours at White Point Beach Resort, there’s something for everyone’s taste at the 2018 Nova Scotia Craft Beer Week celebration!
