NYANZA, NS – After years of depending on mainland breweries to supply their suds, craft beer drinkers on Cape Breton will soon have a local option to support.
Big Spruce Brewing is currently under construction on an organic farm in Nyanza, just outside of Baddeck, where owners Jeremy and Melanie White plan to be up and running in January with a brewery and restaurant, both using ingredients grown on-site.
The Big Spruce Facebook page has been following the construction progress in great detail, and indicates that the brewery will be offering beer in 20 and 50 litre kegs and 2 litre growlers when it opens.
More details about Big Spruce can be found in a recent report by CBC News Nova Scotia and a series of posts on local community blog Dream Big Cape Breton.

- Greg C. is drinking a Steadfast by Tooth And Nail Brewing Company at Bar Hop BrewcoTicks all the boxes - dry roast malt, cocoa, hints of coffee & toasted nuts, bit of twiggy bitterness. A spot-on porter!
- Greg C. is drinking a Dubbel Entendre by Black Oak Brewing Company at King & Dufferin5.5 year old bottle. Noticeably oxidized but still enjoyable. Notes of dried fruit, baked apple, coffee, rye bread & dark malt. Warm finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Kindred Spirits by Innis & Gunn at King & DufferinSimple & solid robust stout with nicely integrated whisky & wood notes. Sweet but not overly so. Pretty well balanced, actually. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Petrus Winter #9 by Brouwerij De Brabandere at King & Dufferin3 year old bottle. Notes of caramel toffee and autumn/winter spices. Oxidization and fairly light carbonation belie its age. But still good.
- Greg C. is drinking a The Blood of Cthulhu (2018) by Sawdust City Brewing Co. at King & DufferinUnlike other reviewers, the berries really pop for me in this year’s batch. And the booze seems less prominent. Great stuff!
