Meet Chris, the owner behind The Harbour Brewing Company 🍻

Originally from England, Chris began his brewing career in Montreal in 1991 with McAuslan Brewing. After completing the Master Brewer program at UC Davis in 1996, he continued building his experience in the craft beer industry before eventually moving to Nova Scotia in 2015 to help start Nine Locks Brewing.

Years later, that experience and passion for craft beer led him to branch out on his own and start The Harbour Brewing Company right here in Musquodoboit Harbour.
Today, the focus is still the same:

Small-batch local beer made with flavour, character, and care.
Thanks to everyone who continues supporting local and stopping in along the way 🍻

We keep things pretty simple around here:
Fresh beer. Small batches. Good flavour.
That’s always been the focus.

If you’re looking for local craft beer without all the pretentiousness, you’ll fit in right here.🍻

Unfortunately the brewery will be closed for the rest of the day.
Hopefully the stomach bug will be gone by tomorrow.

Why do people love small-batch beer?
Freshness. Quality. Character.

Small batches allow us to focus on flavour and consistency without cutting corners.
You can taste the difference when beer’s brewed locally and made with care.
