Hardisty Brewing Co.
Charlène Robichaud
Co-owner & Brewer
Char has been honing her skills as a home brewer for over 20 years, perfecting recipes and experimenting with new flavors. Our focus on community and creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere has led us to open a brewery and charcuterie restaurant. We are proud to offer a wide range of delicious beers, from classic styles to modern twists, that are sure to satisfy any palate.
Laura Barbour
Co-owner
This dream of owning a brewery has happened because of Laura's ability to wade through goverment paperwork and licensing. With a background in Traditional Chinease Medicine, Laura has brought her knowledge of herbs and food energetics to develop our menu of non-alcoholic drinks.
Sam Purcell
Head Chef
Sam joined the team Nov 2023, when the brewery was expanding and a restaurant was the plan. Sam brings a passion for charcuterie, and the artistry to present. Equally committed to locally sourced meats, and cheeses, these charcuterie boards are a testament to his commitment to quality and taste that is Nova Scotian.
In March of 2020 Hardisty Brewing Co. launched at the same time as the first COVID lockdown in Nova Scotia. Perfect timing, right? No, but we rolled with it and we introduced ourselves to Colby Village with home delivery once a week.
Hardisty Brew is a 'nano' brewery with big dreams. Since we started we have grown out of our 'brew kitchen' that had the capacity to brew six to seven hundred liters a month, to a new loaction with a 2bbl brewery that has 3x the production capacity.
Visit us at 958 Cole Harbour Rd. to experience hand crafted beverages paired with charcuterie celebrating local food. Cold beer is also available to go, and a take-out menu for charcuterie.
