Dartmouth - Head office | Brewery | Tap room
Our home brewery
Opening in 2015, the Burnside Brewery Beer Store & Tap Room is a family and pet-friendly space. It holds seating for 25 in the decidedly un-hip Burnside Industrial Park, because being trendy was never the point. Being surrounded by the thousands who work in Burnside and share our hardworking approach to life also just felt right.
