Happy Labour Day! We’d like to give a tip of our hats to the people who pour, brew, haul, wash and close up every week to ensure you have an awesome time with us.

They’ve got the day off today but will be back tomorrow killin’ it!

Is there a crew member who made your visit this summer? Share with us and we’ll make sure they see it. 🍻

There’s a shift that happens in September. The evenings get shorter, the sweaters come out, and the taproom starts to feel like the perfect cozy place to meet up.

We’re here for it.

*Patio closed today due to weather.

There are two ways to do Atlantic Balloon Fiesta weekend. You can watch it. Or you can be the reason a balloon gets off the ground!

The Fiesta is short a few crew for Sept 10–13. It’s early mornings, a bit of muscle, and the best bunch of people.

First-timers welcome. Someone will show you the ropes, literally. Here’s the link to sign up: https://www.atlanticballoonfiesta.ca/get-involved/volunteer/

Then when the day’s done, come find us. Friday night we’re serving at the AX Sunset Social Market, and Saturday we’re back at the Gate for the The Gate Outdoors Music Series with Sidekick.

Feels like old times. Anybody remember the beer gardens back in the day?

Get ready for a night that's guaranteed to be H-ALE-arious!

Tonight in the taproom with The East Coast Comedy Brew-Ha!Ha!, we are bringing New Brunswick's top comics together for an evening of fresh jokes, new material, and plenty of laughs.

Featuring Jokes in-the-Works from some of the province's funniest comedians, you never know what might happen!

Hosted by Moncton's favourite comedy couple, Johnny Skov and Taylor Lakeport, the night features an incredible lineup:
Nick Tomkin – Host & creator of The Riverview Review
Danielle Anderson – Graduate of Nikki Payne's Stand-Up Class of 2019
Matt White – Creator and host of Fuel to the Fire and 2022 HubCap Amateur Contest Winner
Dan Theriault – Comic, actor, improviser & host of Comedy Time Saint
Johnny Skov – Opener for Tom Green, Kenny vs Spenny & The Danger Cats
Taylor Lakeport – Host and producer of Hampton's Brew-Ha!Ha! and Moncton's Puff Puff Laugh

Come out, grab a drink, and enjoy a dose of laughter, because laughter IS the best medicine... and beer isn't bad either!

It'll be H-ALE-rious. Good fer what ALEs ya!

We missed some of you this summer!

The season got busy for us and for you. People were off exploring this amazing place and making memories.

Here’s the good news: you didn’t miss it all! Open Mic at the Gate carries on for three more Wednesdays starting Tonight. Then again on September 16, and September 30.

Bring a lawn chair and a hoodie. The evenings have cooled off. The local talent hasn’t, and they love playing to this audience.

September 1st and Cran Bam Thank You Ma’am Seltzer is back on tap. This one lives up to its name: a bright hit of tart cranberry, a citrus snap, then a clean dry finish that sends you straight back for the next one. Crisp, ruby, and refreshing at 5%. Brewed with sugar not grains!

Summer’s not over yet. There’s still time to walk down to the Gate on a Wednesday evening. Still a chair pulled up beside someone you haven’t seen since June. Still one more night where the music carries down Main Street and an amazing Makers Market to peruse at sunset.

AX: The Arts & Culture Centre of Sussex Sunset Social Makers Market — Sept 11

Sidekick, Gate Outdoors Concert — Sept 12

Tell us your favourite Gate moment from this summer — we want to hear it!

Two nights of country in a row! Last night the Kings County Ag Fair kicked up their boots line dancing under the roof at Leonard’s Gate and tonight we’re moving indoors.

Geordie Roberts in the taproom, 7pm. Oldies through today's country, a few of his own, and he swears it's a different show every time.

Last Saturday of August. 🎶

If you’ve been out at the Kings County Agricultural Fair grounds this week showing, judging, running a booth, or just walking it with a kid on your shoulders - you know how much goes into six days like that. The ag community here works all year for it.

We’re celebrating all that hard work with Line Dancing at Leonard’s Gate tonight, 7 to 10. No experience needed, no partner needed. Everyone is welcome!

Two rounds of applause before we go.

First to 6Hundred. A mechanical issue took their kitchen down for part of the week, and they got it sorted in time to cook for this weekend! Second to our staff, who kept the taps flowing through a crazy week. You’re the best! 👏🙏
