If you haven’t finalized plans and you’re around Halifax for Super Bowl Sunday you may want to head over to Rockbottom. Another firkin of Brewnoser BPA (a Belgium-style Pale Ale) will be tapped at 4:00pm. A special menu including The Garlic Dog and Smoked Chop Dinner will be available.

As reported on Canadian Beer News and on their Facebook page, Shiretown Beer will shut down their beer production indefinitely in order to address a few brewing inconsistencies. Fear not craft beer drinkers, both Picaroons and Pump House brews will remain available onsite at the Artisan Cafe & Brewpub in Dalhousie, N.B.
As someone who recently enjoyed their brews, here’s hoping they are back in production in the very near future. I’ll post updates as they are available.
Picaroon’s will offer the first public release of it’s Cask conditioned beer at the Garrison District Alehouse in Fredericton this Thursday at 4pm. Yippee IPA will be the featured beer with fill ups of the same available in growlers next door at the Brewtique.
As the beer geeks snobs enthusiasts who tend to frequent this site know, cask conditioned ale is conditioned and served directly from the cask which results in a richer beer with lots of character. Cask conditioned ales are not commonly available due to the special care that is required to offer the brew so if you’re in Fredericton this Thursday enjoy a pint or two!
