This is the only brewery tour that starts you with a sample, gives samples as you go through various sections of the brewery and then ends up with more samples and musical entertainment at the end of the tour. They have it down to a 'T' and get everything done within the hour. Easy location to find, very historical building and a remarkable background of the founder of the brewery. Parking is right across the street. Tour guides were very knowledgeable and easy going. You need to do this tour!

There’s not a huge amount to physically see, but the young and enthusiastic guides more than make up for it. They put an enormous amount of effort into the experience and brought the story to life. My advice would be to eat before the tour, as they’re generous with the samples. It’s the first tour of that nature, where I’ve felt I really had the opportunity to sample what is produced in pleasant surroundings (I won’t spoil the surprise), rather than a thimble full of liquid, and then thrown out into the gift shop to buy the gin, whisky, beer whatever it is.

Hello there, In the summer of 1960 or 61, I went to Darthmouth, working as a sailor on an Irving tanker. In the evening we went across to Halifax to see the town. Actually we ended up in a bootlegger joint probably cause we were too young or there were no place selling beer. This was a private home where we sat around the kitchen table qnd the woman of the house served us some beer..... don't ask me what kind..... and we all got drunk. I was remembering this anecdote while drinking a good cold Alexander Keith this afternoon while watching TV. I thought perhaps my story would bring a smie to your face. Are there still boothleggers in Nova Scotia? I suppose not. Hope you have a good week, Vincent Lapierre

From the moment we got our tickets the staff was friendly and welcoming, once the tour started everyone involved was informative and fun. The music at the end added to the overall experience. We throughly enjoyed every minute of the tour and especially the beer.

Maybe not the best beer in Nova Scotia but a fun tour not to miss. The guide will quickly go through the brewery giving a bit of history but the main entertainment is down in the pub where you can sample beers and listen to songs. The singers/musicians were really good. Fantastic atmosphere.

My husband, sister and I did the tour as this was my husband's first trip to Halifax. We had a fabulous time learning about the history of Alexander Keith and tasting his delicious brews. The staff were friendky, knowledgeable, up beat and the Ceilidh at the end was a great touch. Would definitely recommend for a nice evening in the city. Lots of nice oubs nearby to extend your evening out.

We thoroughly enjoyed our tour! Interesting historical facts about the Keith family. Atmosphere is festive and funny while relaying history. Different tour guides throughout created variety and interest. The final stop of the tour in the basement pub was awesome! Celtic music and beer samples! The tour guides were musicians who provided several Celtic melodies. Throughout the tour, we were able to sample at least 4 types of 5 ounces of different Keith beers. They even had refreshments for kids/non-drinkers. Great way to try a new flavour! We had a great time! Just remember to book your tickets either online or early. They were sold out several days in a row.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour visiting from the States! We have been on many brewery tours, and this one mixed fun, performative elements with the brewery's history and beer-making process. The samples were generous, and the music was authentic. The ticket also allowed us to get a free taster at a nearby pub.

Our cruise director suggested this tour for a fun thing to do while we were in port so I booked it. It seemed pricey but 30 oz of this great beer and fine entertainment made it a bargain. We also cashed in on the free 4 oz pour while we enjoyed a delicious lobster roll at Brown Dog on the way back to the ship. A fun way to spend free time in Halifax!
