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 R&J's Das Haze New German-Style IPA by Big Rock Brewery at Liberty Commons at Big Rock BreweryBeen a while since I’ve had a white IPA, and this reminds me how much I enjoy them. Helps that it gets the weisse+IPA balance just right.
- Greg C. is drinking a Divercity by Lost Craft at King & DufferinI liked this beer a lot in its original form as Pint Pursuits The Answer, and it remains a great Helles under its newer name & ownership.
- Greg C. is drinking an Unifeye by Lost Craft at King & DufferinA step up from most so-called “premium” lagers. Sweetness is kept in check & body is very clean. Nice finish, sharp & balanced. Well done.
- Greg C. is drinking a Cider by Tawse Winery at King & DufferinA simple but pleasant cider with a slight floral note and a clean & fresh finish. A well made crowd-pleaser.
- Greg C. is drinking a Wizard Wolf (Mosaic/Loral) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinHazy, juicy, dank & green - yup, it’s a Wizard Wolf. Mosaic hops are obvious, not as sure about Loral as I’m not too familiar with them.
