Long Bay Brewery (Craft Beer & Brewery in Rothesay NB)

Long Bay Brewery sits in Rothesay, New Brunswick, and manages to be both a serious craft‑beer operation and a community playground. Their lineup stretches from the razor‑sharp crispness of cans to the unapologetically bold double IPA (a respectable 8 % ABV) that could convince even the most skeptical palate that strength can be elegant. Light‑beer lovers aren’t left out either – there’s a whole roster of easy‑drinking options that sit perfectly beside the heavier brews, all served from a taproom big enough to accommodate a crowd without feeling like a sardine can.

Beyond the suds, Long Bay is a hub for fun. Trivia nights, often fronted by the ever‑charismatic Geoff Mc Cullogh, turn ordinary evenings into battles of wits, while Tuesday game sessions give locals an excuse to linger over a pint. Live music drifts through the space, adding a soundtrack to the camaraderie, and the friendly, attentive staff (who somehow remember everyone’s favourite brew) keep the service smooth. If you can’t stay, the shop shelves are stocked with quirky merchandise that lets you take a piece of the vibe home. In short, Long Bay is a well‑run, lively haven where quality beer and good humour go hand in hand.
