About
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!

Bottle: Poured an orangey color ale with a good size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of sweet caramelized malt with hints of dry English hops with some nice floral undertones. Taste is sweeter then expected but well balanced with some floral and dry English style hops. Body is quite full with good carbonation. Well done and more complex then anticipated while not really being close to style but really, who cares?

This old bitter poured a dark orange colour with a big, creamy off white head. Nice lacing. To the nose there are scents of hopps, hopps and more hopps. Also citrus, juniper berries, pineapple and dough. First taste was very hoppy with flavours of pineapple, cream, citrus and malt. Finish is bitter with hopps lingering forever. Palate too is bitter with hopp flavour lasting forever.

Thickly unfiltered. Rich rocky head. Light brown colour. Rich, foresty aroma with vague citrus and fresh hop dust/resin. Firm, rich, lingering bitterness. Toasty, chewy malts underneath. Excellent IPA, with a touch of rusticity

Murky chestnut colour. Tart and fruity (blackberry) aroma. Very fruity like they ran this through the blueberry ale tap (or lines). Finishes dry with a light hint of dark malt. Drinkable, but something amiss with that fruitiness.

A roasted like aspect permeates the mouthfeel, very inviting. As it warms, becomes a little more sweet.
