Canada, NS: Chill St. Fresh Beer & Cider Market to be launched as Canada’s first brewery in a grocery store

Canada’s first brewery to be located inside a grocery store is getting set to open in in the small community of Elmdale, Nova Scotia.

According to Maritime Beer Report, Chill St. Fresh Beer & Cider Market is being established by Barry MacLeod inside the Sobey’s at the Elmsdale Shopping Centre, a location that MacLeod chose in order to “bring the brewery to the traffic as opposed to trying to bring traffic to a brewery”.

MacLeod tends to produce a core line-up that includes Blueberry Wheat, Pilsner, Pale Ale, Honey Brown Ale, White IPA, and Apple Cider on a SmartBrew system with four 10-barrel tanks. Several seasonals will also be offered, along with beer education, pairing tips, and merchandise.

Chill St. is expected to open in June.
