Cheers to Craftsmanship

Raise a glass to Pictou County.

Bottling the Essence of the Northumberland Shore

Meet the Makers Behind the Pour

In Pictou County, craft drinks are made with the same pride you will find across the region. Local breweries, taprooms, and distilleries put a Pictou County stamp on every pour, from crisp small-batch lagers brewed in town to locally distilled spirits made for a cozy night by the fire.

Step into a taproom to meet the people behind the labels, hear the stories that shape each release, and taste what is being crafted right here along the Northumberland Strait.
