Whatever you do, wherever you go, make sure this is a a place you visit…read more A TINY old church turned coffee shop in the morning - Buddha Bear - and a brewery by afternoon - Holy Whale. You can still get coffee all day long as long as they're open. Don't bring a group because there's only one table with two church pews that can accommodate 6 people. Everything else is pretty much good for 1-3 people with a couple of stools at the bar. I'd guess about a max of 20 -25 seats total are available inside, but if it's nice, there's additional seating outside. Try their in-house brews or something from their rotating taps. They don't have food, other than hors d'oeuvres to satisfy the liquor laws so expect to order pickled eggs, pretzels and pickles. So don't come hungry and then complain about the food when you're coming to a brew house. The one staff was doing an amazing job serving and thoroughly cleaning and disinfecting tables after each patron so it's a pretty safe place to come despite its size. There's no table device right now so get up to the bar to order a flight or a pint!

They may not have a ton of signage on the road, but the red roof of the brewhouse is sign enough. There's fields of lines for hops, currently unused due to drainage issues, we were told, the brewhouse and acres of other fields. Our stop in the brewhouse got us some samples and paid 4oz tasters of their beer, and I got a 1L growler of their wheat beer for $13, including the bottle deposit. While they don't take returns, they will refill any brand of growler, for a very reasonable price of $6-7. There's also several kinds of lavender-scented beauty and hygiene products for sale, since that's one of their other main crops. The friendly owners suggested we take a stroll down the path to see their pigs, turkeys, and chickens, and it wasn't only my 3 year old niece that enjoyed this. If you're touring through the valley-ish area, you should definitely make a stop in at Meander River.

As part of our stay at the Flying Apron Inn, we had a beer tasting at Meander River Farm & Brewery…read more We arrived late afternoon. You need to be looking for the spot (I recommend a GPS). It is definitely off the beaten path but that is part of its charm. It is a family run farm and brewery. I am not sure if you can get a more "local" beer. They grow their own hops (among a few other things) and brew it on site. I am not a beer drinker, but what I tried was nice. My husband really liked the Honey Brown Ale. I was lucky enough to have a taste of their Cider. It was excellent - super flavorful and crisp. I would have taken some with me but it wasn't all ready yet. They also grown their own lavender and have different lavender products. Aside from a great product, it was very interesting to hear the family's story. The farm has been in the family for a long time although the building and brewery is much newer. We ended up staying for quite a long time hanging out with Alan, Brenda and Campbell. Very hospitable and their passion is self-evident. They also offer farm tours and heck you can sign up for a hand-on experience. Highly recommend! It was a unique experience.

They also have food , we got the delicious chip n dips and that was tasty as well. They have what they call "after school" specials for drinks and food. Overall, the place is welcoming, they have board games to help unwind after a long day at school/work. I can only imagine how pretty this place would be in the summer..definitely a must see when visiting Windsor Nova Scotia.

It's great to live close to a place like Sea Level Brewing. In the same building as The Port Pub,…read moreSea Level provides their microbrewed beer. With nice range of beer ranging from ales to porter. There is a regular selection of 4 core brews (Planters Pale Ale, Rojo Mojo Red Ale, Blue Heron Extra Special Bitter, and Port in a Storm Porter) with an interesting seasonal beer (the most recent one was Dussel-Port Altbier) to keep things interesting. Brewmaster Randy Lawrence is friendly and cares about the beer that he makes. For locals there are refillable growlers (1 L bottles) and there are individual 650 mL bottles. They also have party kegs if you need more beer. Being able to have locally-brewed beer made with local ingredients is one of the very nice parts of living in a beautiful agricultural area with people who are committed to making great things where they live.

extremely unhappy with my service here. I arrived and asked the woman helping us to tell me a…read morelittle bit about the beers and she was completely clueless about every single one. so much so, that she grabbed the sheet, clearly made for staff use and told me to read it to learn about the beer. They also do not fill any growlers that aren't their own (unheard of for micro breweries.. i consider it a hobby to travel to different breweries and fill existing growlers). She then suggested i could get some different cans BUT didn't tell me they only sell 6 packs of each one. the entire point of a craft brewery is sampling different ones. if the woman serving me had been helpful or friendly that would have compensated for their other short comings.

A great spot hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the busy little town of Kentville. If you've…read morebeen to the Sea Level taproom in Port Williams (attached to The Port Pub), then you'll want to come here where the beer is brewed. An absolutely beautiful spot on the 221 with LOADS of space to hang out. So much awesome seating from picnic benches to fire pit areas. Lots of grass and it's great if you want to bring kiddos because there's fun games laid out and bubbles at the entrance. Another great reason to sit outside is that they've got lots of sunscreen available at the entrance for you to use so no worries if you forgot yours! The taproom is just another beautiful spot where you can pull up a stool and drink your worries away. It's long and narrow with a few other options for seating so not really great for crowds - you want to take that party outside. Speaking of parties, this is THE place to hang out on the weekends, especially Friday. Check their social media pages to see what's going on and check out the music, food truck and themed event. There's no food here unless you're here on a weekend with a food truck so be sure to eat or pack a picnic first and then head on over to grab some really great beer or cider. We were quite surprised by the delicious summer lime seltzer and I think we found our new favourite place!

Other than that the place felt cold - a kind of locals place where the few locals there are stiff and uninviting. Tried a flight of the tender's recomendations. The beer was meh. Wheat, rye, wheat, IPA. I was intrigued by the Horton Wheat Rooibus. Not much for wheat beers, but the tea infusion was unusual in a good, but not everyday good, way.

We got a bit of hype because of the Bluenose Commemorative beer (which was fine), but everything we tried seemed pretty light and almost catering to the millennials who don't like beer but want to be seen at these kinds of places. No major complaints but it would be great if some food options were available. They did have bags of chips but they weren't even local so that was a little surprising. They do have some fun merch so check it out as long as there's staff. The one person working there looked very overwhelmed so we didn't stick around to order more. Free wifi if needed.

It offers wines, beers and spirits from local producers in Nova Scotia. Wine is the predominant product on offer, but there is enough to cater to all tastes. Staff area wonderful pleasant and helpful, quick to offer guidance, but also to step back and let you be if you're just browsing. I've bought numerous items from here over the years, some better than others, so if you don't know the winery or brewery, it can be hit & miss, but to be fair, often that's part of the fun and experience of trying something new. If you do buy multiple bottles of wine, they have solid cardboard carriers for you which will offer a little bit of protection on your flight.

This lovely shop is located just past security, and predominantly features a cool map of Nova Scotia on one wall, with about a dozen local products mounted on the wall and pointing out where they came from. It's a nice touch that brings home where these delicious libations are from, although it does take up half of their wall space, so I'm conflicted between the cool factor and having more selection. While wine takes up the largest portion of shelf space, there is still a good amount of craft beer, as well as spirits and a few ciders as well. The staff member was really friendly and knowledgeable, and I ended up getting a bottle of wine and a couple bottles of cider, all of which were wrapped up in paper to protect them in their carry-on travels. It's not a duty-free shop, so any flyer can purchase their wares. Liquid Assets is a fantastic idea that will add value to the burgeoning local alcohol industries, and enhances the airport as a whole. If YHZ can get a good restaurant, they'll be set!
