HALIFAX, NS – In a post on Facebook earlier this morning, it was announced that the Hart & Thistle Gastropub & Brewery has been closed down effective immediately.
According to the note from owner Bruce Keith, there were a number of factors that led to the closure, including the “bulk of business occurring inside the short summer season,” and the “large growth of independent restaurants” in the Halifax area cutting into the establishment’s bottom line.
Fans of Hart & Thistle head brewer Greg Nash will still be able to enjoy his creations at the Rockbottom Brewpub, where he will continue to brew.

- Greg C. is drinking a Barn Owl (No. 9) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin2+ years old but doesn’t show it at all. The body is lively, the raspberry flavour still pops, and the base beer is deliciously sour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Barn Owl (No. 10) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin2 years old so the hops have fallen back somewhat, but the Brett funk is gorgeous and plays so well with the apricot notes. Love it!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mean Muggin' by Nickel Brook Brewing Co. at King & DufferinHeavy on the coffee - like, REALLY heavy, even for me and I love extra dark roast espresso. Still enjoyed it, but would like more balance.
- Greg C. is drinking a Goldpanner by Left Field Brewery at King & DufferinGood balance of dark malt and smoke, and the medium-weight body carries the flavour well, through to the clean finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Glorioso by Left Field Brewery at King & DufferinCrisp & dry with a prominent herbal/floral character, and a lovely lime leaf note lingering in the palate in the finish.
