The brewery tour is a fun way to learn about the beer making process and the history surrounding Alexander Keith himself. Does include samples.

The oldest operational brewery in Nova Scotia. They don't make their popular IPA beer here but they do make craft beers and ales. There is also a very popular tour here that provides a tour, music, and some sampling. I would recommend calling or emailing them for a place on their tour in advance.

Who likes a little history with a beer? Apparently a lot of people, which is why a tour of Alexander Keith’s brewery is one of the most fun things to do in Halifax. Founded in 1820 by Alexander Keith who serve three times as the city’s mayor, the brewery sits on the lower Street just off the waterfront. While production has since moved to the larger location off site, actors in period costumes take guests around the historical property, outlining the company’s history, explaining the brewery in process and of course, handing out lots of beer. In true East Coast fashion, there’s also a musical entertainment and stories.
