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 Still Classy Saison by Mascot Brewery at Mascot Brewery Beer GardenVery nice Saison that is dry and prickly and crisp and lemony and a bit peppery, just how I like ‘em.
- Greg C. is drinking an Italian Lager by Mascot Brewery at Mascot Brewery Beer GardenBetter than I recall it being at the old location, and it was pretty decent even then. Sweetness seems more restrained. Great herbal finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Twice As Mad IIPA by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinSuch a treat to have an IIPA that you can see through, and which tastes of bitter citrus & pine rather than sweet tropical fruit. #oldschool
- Greg C. is drinking a Super Lemon Hazy IPA by Incidents & Accidents at King & DufferinNot as much lemon character as I expected - it leans more herbal/grassy with some citrus zest in the finish. Not bad, though.
- Greg C. is drinking a Red Racer After Hours Old Fashioned Pale Ale by Red Racer at King & DufferinNot keen on the slightly sludgy sediment, but the flavour is excellent & approximates an Old Fashioned remarkably well.
