A day trip to Schoolhouse Brewery Tourism Nova Scotia / Photographer: Aaron McKenzie Fraser
You could justify a day trip to any of Nova Scotia’s many breweries. If you’re taking someone on their first beery expedition, we recommend a trip to Windsor. Schoolhouse Brewery pairs a unique setting (the eponymous school dates back to the 1860s) with a broad range of approachable beers. The Principal pale ale, a light and flavourful sipper, is the best way to get started. schoolhousebrewery.ca
