Born from a rebellious spirit, Garrison Brewing was launched on the north-end of Nova Scotia at a time when craft beer was in what seemed to be death throes. In 1997, the crew of Garrison fought against the dying of the light by releasing an Irish Red Ale and Nut Brown Ale that were well received. A handful of other odd nik beers came out of the brewery and when 2004 rolled around, the craft scene was beginning its next renaissance and rise. The scrappy Garrison needed to move into a bigger facility to accommodate their success - the new facility was a breath of air to a flickering flame and the brewery kicked into an expansion. It only took 8 years to outgrow even this new space. They built a custom brewhouse and Garrison has grown to become a powerhouse of maritime craft brewing, known across the land. The Tall Ship is an English Pale Ale, with a subtle flavour and easy drinking body. Serves well at 8°C and can cellar for six months.
