Three engineers quit corporate jobs to build Halifax's most innovative craft brewery.
This is the origin story of bold ambition. Joshua, Angus, and Doug weren't just friends; they were three engineers who shared life, lectures, and a growing frustration with the predictable. In 2015, they staged their grand, courageous escape, trading their stable corporate existence to become "recovering" engineers. Their goal was simple: to bet everything on a dream where genuine camaraderie could thrive.
Their venture quickly morphed from a friends' project into a movement. The founders are now surrounded by a company of passionate misfits who pour their entire selves into brewing, bartending, and crafting truly unconventional experiences. As Joshua puts it, they created "an island of misfit toys and beer"—a core belief that fuels every eccentric flavor and friendly taproom experience.
They’ve proven that when sharp, problem-solving minds pivot from blueprints to beer, magic happens. Since 2015, they haven't just built a brewery; they've forged a cultural institution that makes Halifax gloriously weirder, infinitely more welcoming, and spectacularly fun.

Our most talked-about creations
This isn't just a best-seller; it's a masterpiece of cheerful defiance. Diablo Mexican Lager is light, crisp, and ridiculously easy to crush, but it carries a secret: a sassy zing of fresh lime and the cheeky, unexpected warmth of jalapeños. It’s the beer that asked, "How can we 'plus' perfection?" and answered with a bold, unapologetic smile.
We literally put the lime right into the brew, then pushed the envelope with jalapeño, making it fun, talkable, and delightfully quirky. It's more than a favorite among craft beer fans; it's the gold standard (2019 Atlantic Canada Brewing Awards winner!) and is often affectionately dubbed "Nachos in a can."
Emotionally, this lager is pure joy and audacity. It turns a mundane Tuesday into a fiesta and makes a first sip feel like a high-five from your most adventurous friend. It’s the perfect foil for Mexican food and a guarantee that your Taco Tuesday will be a whole lot more exciting.

To Our Fellow Dreamers,
Find Your Edge 🧭
Our journey was always about more than liquid. It was a rejection of the comfort zone, a leap powered by pure courage. We traded security for a wild idea: to cultivate a space brimming with genuine connection and untamed spirit.
We set out to create an asylum for the nonconformist—a gathering point where originality is the highest value. Every single brew, every event, every quirky tradition we started was simply an invitation to be your unfiltered self. We didn’t follow maps; we made our own territory. The real reward for us was witnessing this amazing town, Halifax, embrace the spirit of the outlier and become a brighter, stranger, more fun place because of it.
If our venture teaches anything, let it be this: Trust your innate weirdness. Chase the idea that scares you most. Don't just exist—thrive in your own beautifully chaotic creation. Your vision is worth pursuing, and the world is always ready for something truly different.
Thank you for embracing our dream. Now, go create yours.
With immense gratitude,
The Founders. ✨
