Local brewing history?

Post by Barr » Tue Apr 09, 2013 12:58 pm

Has anyone out there found a good source for brewing history in Nova Scotia? I would love to see a list of the old community breweries of Nova Scotia.

There's a few books out there about the history of brewing in Canada in general, which I'm sure includes NS. Can't think of names at the moment though. I read one a few years ago that I think did mention early NS breweries, but mainly focused on Keith's and Oland's of course.

Oland's has it's own book out there somewhere.
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

The archives have lots of stuff. I've seen brewerania from breweries that existed in Yarmouth, Liverpool and Amherst.
