Trail Way Brewing delivers the kind of taproom experience craft-beer fans chase. We kicked things…read moreoff with a four-pour flight and loved every sip: * Blueberry Ale - Light, juicy, and just sweet enough; like summer in a glass. * Rocket Pop Sour - Show-stopper status: electric tartness with nostalgic popsicle vibes. * Vibe Check IPA - Bright citrus and pine, perfectly balanced bitterness--IPA lovers, take note. * Italian Stout - Espresso-rich, silky, and dessert-worthy without being cloying. Beyond the glass, the space is spotless and welcoming. Tables are stocked with board games (always a win), so you can settle in for a marathon round of Beer trivia or just a quick cribbage match, between pours. Friendly staff, chilled soundtrack, and plenty of room to relax seal the deal. Bottom line: Trail Way pairs top-tier brews with a playful, laid-back atmosphere. Plan on staying longer than you think--you won't want to leave.

I've been a few times for IPA deliciousness and pizza paradise (shoutout to Milda's Pizza). The…read moreservice is always attentive and cool (in a good way). It's always been consistent too. The only thing missing would be the landscaping and deck expansion/renovation. I'm mentioning this because of the incredible potential for an outdoor local talent showcase with cool murals, plantation and lighting. All in keeping with your chill ambiance, of course.

York County Cider's lineup shows real craft: the tropical-leaning Hawaii Five-0 pops with…read morepineapple, Imperial Cherry Bomb delivers a bold, candied hit, the Raspberry stays light and tart, and Queen Ann's Revenge balances spice and oak in a satisfying finish. Flavor-wise, the flight hit the mark. The taproom, though, felt more "packed pub" than cozy cidery crowd, a bit loud, and short on seating when we arrived. Staff kept things moving, but the atmosphere just wasn't my style. Still, if you're cider-curious and don't mind a bustling crowd, York County Cider is worth a pint; for those who prefer a more laid-back vibe, it may be a one-time stop rather than a new hangout.

The Cider is awesome! There is definitely a flavor or any palette, Lemon, Dry, Strawberry Lime,…read moreCran Ras, Hopped, Cherry, and Tiki Hut to name a few. You can take home cans, bottles, or even 2-liter bottles! We got two flights of 4, so we only tasted 8 of the 16. Today, there was live Irish music. You can sit inside or enjoy the deck. There is plenty of space for groups. Breanna was awesome and service was great! If we ever find our way back to Fredicton, NB, we would absolutely stop in again.

Half Cut Brewery nails the craft-beer experience from the moment you walk in. The team behind the…read morebar is genuinely friendly, quick with a greeting, ready with tasting notes, and clearly proud of what they pour. The taproom itself is spotless (even the glassware sparkles), so you can focus on the main event: the brews. Every beer I tried, from the crisp, citrus-bright pale ale to the velvety chocolate stout showed off balanced flavors and a confident hand in the brewhouse. Grab a flight, settle in, and let the good vibes roll; Half Cut Brewery is the kind of place that turns first-time visitors into regulars.

Picaroon's Brewtique is an amazing beer store…read more Why? Because: a) Cheap bear. Basically, it is 10$ for 1,89L of craft beer. Basically 10$, because, at the first buy, you need to buy a growler at 10$. If 1,89L is too much, 500 mL beer bottles await you in the cooler next to the counter. b) The variety. A good selection of craft beers that can please almost anyone. You don't like IPA? Here, have a blonde or a dark and so on. c) The staff: beer-lovers selling beer to beer-lovers.

Definitely the best place to get great beer in Fredericton. Picaroons offers a variety of craft…read morebeers including seasonal ones that are fantastic.

Grimross Brewing delivers a memorable taproom visit. We tried a flight with Cheval, IPA, Donk, and…read moreJuicy and each pour showed off a different side of the brewhouse. Cheval felt light and floral, the IPA carried a clean pine finish, Donk leaned malt forward with a gentle spice, and Juicy wrapped things up with a burst of tropical fruit. The space is bright and industrial with polished wood tables that overlook gleaming stainless tanks. You can actually hear the hops churning inside, which adds a cool bit of behind-the-scenes atmosphere. Staff were friendly and happy to walk us through the beer list. A wall of fridges lets you grab cans to go, and there is a snack rack by the door for quick bites. If you enjoy fresh beer, a casual vibe, and a little brewing theater in the background, this spot is worth the stop.

We had a flight of their beers. Overall would say they are good beers but just average tasting and we enjoyed the guest tap more.

There is a restaurant on site but it was closed when I went (Monday afternoon). However, there was a food truck on site with burgers, chicken wings, fish and chips and other pub fare ($12-16 range for big portions). There is also the Muse coffee on site but again only on certain days (I think Thursdays-Sundays). Service was very friendly and for non-beer drinkers like myself, they had a cider and several choices for wines. They also had non-alcohol beer available. The boutique has a lot of their beers as well as local liquors, t-shirts, dog toys and other gifts. It's super dog friendly and there is bike parking as well. Very relaxing place to stop by while exploring the area.

The beer selection is extensive, with plenty to choose from. We came for a flight on the way out of town, and decided to get some food. Luckily right next door, is an attached restaurant/pub that serves simple pub fare. You can order and they will give you a buzzer to let you know when the food is ready. We got the burger with homemade chips and it was the perfect pairing with the beers! Would recommend for a place to hang out with friends and family.

The sour was super sour (in the best way), the stout had a nice espresso kick, and the Nitro Lager was smooth and easy-drinking. The space itself was clean, spacious, and felt really open, definitely a comfortable place to hang out for a while. Bonus points for being dog-friendly too! Great spot if you're looking to sample some well-made brews in a laid-back atmosphere.

When we were there, they had four ciders on tap and they do flights, so it is an excellent way to try them all. Their cider profiles are very similar to each other, mostly being fresh and crisp. Nothing was too outstanding. Friendly service and a very nice atmosphere to relax and chat with friends.

I tried their Fall, New England, Summer and Fire. The Fall has some cinnamon notes and is probably my favorite. The New England is mildly sweet and has hints of molasses. The summer is he driest and is least sweet amongst the flight I had. The fire is the most complicated and interesting in favors, the employee started that their is cayenne pepper and ginger in it. It was my least favorite because I don't think I appreciate its flavour. It is not as sweet as a ginger beer. I recommend this place a flight will set you back about $10/ 4 x 5 oz glasses
