As we were in the Pictou area the choice was now North to Cape Breton or Southish down the coast. Unfortunately for the future island separatist nation we could not fit it in and it's too bad really.
A new micro opened this passed year Big Spruce Brewing in Nyanza, outside Baddeck on Cape Breton. http://www.bigspruce.ca/
Difficult to find the home, but not the beer. I had a recon team go find it and it was easy to find in local pubs. All good reports on it too, but alas my field team dropped the ball and did not return with a growler for me. New staff will be put in place soon.
Also along that way you would hit Guysborough, and find the Rare Bird Pub http://www.rarebirdpub.com/brewery/index.htm
Missed this trip but we've been there before and the pub is great and beer well thought out. Not a normal stop, but make sure you make it one
Finally, Antigonish is along that way and known for St FX, but now also for the Townhouse Pub http://antigonishtownhouse.blogspot.ca/?m=1
When I spoke to them, unfortunately their beer is not ready yet, but will be within the next months.
All these misses just means that's the way we go next year.
Then we actually report on the beer and the places
Happy beer traveling in traveling
