Canada, NS: New Scotland Brewing Co. planning to launch in Dartmouth later this year

The brothers behind a popular Nova Scotia clothing brand have announced plans to open a brewery later this year in Dartmouth, Canadian Beer News reported on April 2.

New Scotland Brewing Co. is being established by Kevin and Scott Saccary of New Scotland Clothing Co., along with brewer Mike Gillespie.

As reported by the Atlantic Canada Beer Blog, the partners have recently taken possession of a space at 91 Alderney Drive, and will be installing a 5 hectolitre brewhouse and 56 hectolitre fermentation capacity. The brewery will produce a line-up of five core brands along with a rotation of “fun and sometimes experimental projects,” with a variety of beer styles represented including traditional Scottish and English ales, modern American-style beers, wild and sour ales, and more.

New Scotland beers will be available primarily by the glass and in growlers at the 40-seat taproom and retail store, with limited can runs possible for special releases, and occasional appearances on draught at other local bars. The taproom will also be designed to serve as a live venue for intimate concerts by local and touring artists.

New Scotland Brewing Co. is expected to open this summer.
