Canadian Breweries History: Garrison Brewing
Halifax has always been at the center of a proud and vibrant Maritime brewing tradition. In 1754, William Steel was the first local brewer to quench the thirsts of early settlers and troops gathered on Citadel Hill. Many would follow, with over 20 breweries having operated by the time of prohibition.
Garrison Brewing Company is following in this tradition by producing premium ales of distinction for the local market. With their inaugural batch of “Irish Red Ale” in 1997, Garrison introduced the craft beer movement to Nova Scotians and visitors alike. Today Garrison brews a variety of full flavored, all natural, preservative free ales. Each glass represents a tribute to the art of hand-crafting ales with the finest natural ingredients
