There are bigger plans, certainly.

But a cold beer, a comfortable seat, and a bit of Cape Breton air can make a very strong case for themselves 🍻

The Silver Tart Raspberry Wheat Ale, now in jar form!

Bright, tart, raspberry-laced, and frankly, very pleased with itself 🩷

Handmade in tiny batches for toast, biscuits, cheese boards, croissants …and anyone pretending they’re not going back in with a spoon!

Available at the brewery while it lasts! 🍓

New aprons have entered the chat: dark denim, proper embroidery, and just enough polish to suggest we have our s**t together 😌
Please enjoy this brief moment before they encounter errant flour, sideways rain, stout foam, grass clippings and the general spectacle of operating a brewery in Cape Breton 🙃

Today’s weather is giving damp wool, cancelled plans, and a fairly convincing argument for staying indoors ☔️
Naturally, we have decided to answer with mango!🥭
‌
𝗜𝘁 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗧𝘄𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼 is bright, sunny, and almost suspiciously cheerful for a day like this ~ which is …exactly the point 😎
‌
Available now at the brewery, and in our online shop for free shipping & delivery across Canada. The weather may be brooding, but your beer doesn’t have to be!

Cabot Trail Relay Weekend at Big Spruce: the part where everyone pretends they came for the running 👀

Today we’ve got The McMillan’s Camp Boys live at the brewery with country, bluegrass, and old-time music built for sunny afternoons, tired legs, cold beer, and dogs who think every weekend is about them.

2PM show
Free admission
All ages
Kids & dogs welcome

Bring the relay crew, the non-relay crew, the “I’m just here for moral support” crew, and anyone who appreciates a banjo doing honest work.

👟 Before the first hill humbles anyone, let’s gather somewhere flat 👟
‌
𝗟𝗲𝗴 𝗭𝗲𝗿𝗼 is our unofficial Cabot Trail Relay welcome party: live music, cold beer, familiar faces, support crews, runners, locals, and the beautiful delusion that everyone’s legs are “feeling pretty good, actually.”
‌
This Friday at Big Spruce!
All ages. Dog friendly 🐾
Athletic ability not required until Saturday 😎
