Description
Pump House Brewery debuted its first beer, Cadian Cream Ale, at 4pm on September 3, 1999, at the brewpub on 5 Orange Lane in Moncton.
Since then, we've been honoured to craft and refine a stellar lineup of brands, including our beloved Blueberry Ale, Cadian Cream Ale and Muddy River Stout–all of which have stood the test of time thanks to our skilled team of brewers and our wonderfully loyal fans.

Significant milestones include the opening of our full-scale production and packaging facility on Mill Rd. in 2002, which enabled us to distribute our beers across Atlantic Canada.
Then, in 2005 we had the distinct honour of cleaning up at the Canadian Brewing Awards and ultimately being named Canadian Brewery of the Year.

In 2016, we introduced the Crafty Radler and the game changed for us.
Combining a high-alcohol beer with a custom-designed fruit soda was unheard of at the time and people really took to our unique formula.
Initially launched in June as a summer seasonal, it quickly became a fan favourite, selling over 160,000 cans by the end of that summer.
Since then, Crafty Radler has put the Pump House brand on the map selling millions of cans all over the world!

In December 2020, Brian Harriman, Brad Devarennes, and Kolin Barley, three local long-time friends united by a shared passion for brewing and craft beer, took over the ownership of Pump House Brewery.
With a fresh vision and boundless enthusiasm, they have been driving the Pump House to new heights.
Under their leadership, the brewery not only continues to produce popular beers like our Nio 9 Starkhöl and our Uncommon Kölsch (yes, we seem to love umlauts), but has also expanded into Spirits and Ready-To-Drink beverages (RTDs) with Crafty Vodka, Unnecessary Vodka, Venerdi Italian Soda and Real Vodka Water, enhancing our product lineup and reaching new markets across Canada and into the United States.

We're just getting started!

An orange beer with a thin white head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of blueberries, while the flavor is sweet malty with strong notes of blueberries. The body is thin, which is a drawback, otherwise a nice one.

This ale pours a dark orange colour with a great big tan frothy head. To the nose you could smell raisins, glue and a doughy yeasty scent. First sip was smokey with flavours of smoked meat and wood. Maybe a little molassass. Palate was good but thick and almost oily with lingering flavours of the above.

This ale poured a medium yellow colour with a great big white head. To the nose of course blueberry scents with dough and a bit of citrus. First sip was very nice with not an overpowering taste of blueberrys. Nice flavour with a little hopp to it. Palate was a little doughy with flavours of the hops lingering.

Hazy brown ale with a decent off-white head. Aroma was bad news...infection! Smokey malt with some lactic notes. In mouth, the smokey caramel malt yielded to the gueuzy lactic acid. A thin bodied scotch ale which, at 8 months of age, did not survive well. Obtained from OKbeer in late march 2005.

Mahongany color. Smokey, peaty nose. Light mouth, peaty, earthy malty mouth. Light bodied, peaty malty finish with a touch of whisky. Well balanced, but not overly complex.

Good off white head over a brown body. Malty aroma but a bit restrained for the style. The flavor follows correctly at first, but fails to develop fully and there is a slight sourness to the finish. Decent, but not great.

Bottled. Deep golden with rich head. Citrusy nose. Soft and sweet. Mild with notes of almond and diacetyl. Unassuming, but I like it.

Beany roast aroma with decadent milk chocolate. Very dark brown colour. Large almond component to the aroma. Light, with treacly, nutty, truffley malt notes. A nice dessert of a stout, finishing with a hop flourish very late.

Golden-amber. Woody, hedgerow aroma. “Countryish” flavour – fields & hay. Sweetish character. More bitter & woody towards the finish, with notes of caramel.

Dark chestnut colour. Slightly mapley, smokey, toffeeish aroma. Toffeeish, slight milk chocolate malts hold up a peaty, wood y palate. Finishes off-dry, with a rousing dose of hops. Slight thinness is the only serious worry here.
