Well, we are all about conservation. So, when the sign says “save water drink beer” who are we to argue. Today’s mini adventure took us to Meander River Farm and Brewery. Located in a small area called Ashdale, Hants County, Nova Scotia sits this family operated farm that grows lavender, perennials and fresh cut flowers and they also have pastured livestock. The farm provides an opportunity for its visitors to connect with rural Nova Scotia and experience its natural beauty. The area is beautiful, and tranquil. We caught it on a quiet day and enjoyed the peaceful ambiance. Well, of course while enjoying a few of their beer and ciders.
Today we tried their Little Big Lager, Lunch Box Pale Ale, Surf & Turf Scotch Ale, First Frost Cider, Small-lot Brut Cider, Shack Wacky Cider, Ashdale Honey Brown, Seeing Double DIPA. Now I know you all think; OMG how much do they drink? But what you might not know is we usually buy a flight of beer which is a great way to sample a variety of flavors. Usually each glass that you see is 4 ounces. So, a flight of beer is equivalent to 16 ounces or one pint of beer each. Not too bad hey?
We are on a mission to sample or 100 different types of craft beer this year. Everyone needs a goal!!
