Yet another new craft brewery in Nova Scotia in 2013! We couldn't pass up the opportunity to drive to beautiful Pictou for the grand opening.
They really wanted the grand opening to be special and, for that day, were waiving the growler fee and even giving a free glass with each growler!
Uncle Leo's "home" is a beautiful country-esque building with a nice sign; it really fits in well with the surroundings. When we got there, there was a long line-up, proving the point that craft beer is not just an urban thing but that foks in more rural areas are catching on to good beer!
For now, they produce two beers, a red ale and an IPA, with the help of famed beer guru Greg Nash. Both beers are fantastic, although my taste buds prefer hoppier types like the IPA. As IPAs go, this one is somewhat tame, with beautiful floral notes with a touch of bitterness from the hops. A really good IPA for nice summer days.
Let's hope their beers make their way into many pubs and restaurants!
