Description
Welcome to Good Robot, a brewery, bar, restaurant and beer garden run by a pack of misfits in the heart of Halifax’s historic North End. Our beers are known to be eclectic, eccentric, and untrue to style, fraught with foraged materials, impulse decisions, and whimsy. We don’t make ‘craft beer’; we make beer (kinda). And we enjoy sharing our beer, our building, and our childish minds with our communities.
In the summer, our GastroTurf (beer garden featuring AstroTurf) brings all the flavours of summer ales to the familiar comfort of a putting green. Year-round, we host oddball events, brew with the community, sponsor festivals, facilitate charitable incentives, and make questionable marketing decisions. Want to sit your bum somewhere and let your freak flag fly? Well, matey, set sail for Halifax’s Most Questionable Brewing Experience.

On tap at Good Robot (Robie St.). Pours clear brown with a beige head. Nice roast on the nose, roasty and nutty. Flavour has a nutty malt profile, gentle roast. Maybe a bit lacking on the finish. Not bad.

On tap at Good Robot (Robie St.). Pours light gold with a slight hazy and a white head. Fresh pine and berries on the nose, a bit like floor cleaner. Flavour has loads of berries and bright pine, some febreeze. Bitter finish with some nice dank notes. Could use a bit more body. I don't love the cleaner-like hop expression, but all in this is decent.

On tap at Good Robot (Robie St.). Pours clear pale blonde. Apple skins and sweet apples on the nose. Flavour has semi-sweet apples, apple cores, and some gentle musty skins. It's okay.

On tap at Good Robot (Robie St.). Pours clear blonde with a white head. Dry hay and light biscuit malts on the nose. Flavour has dry grass and fairly subdued malts. A bit seltzery. It's clean, but a bit wanting.

Bright amber, not much head. Ok, it's an amber ale. It's clean, caramelly. I mean, I don't know. What's the point?

473mL can, pours a clear copper with a small white head. Aroma has toasted caramel, bready malt, maybe some English yeast. Flavour has some bready malt, lots of dry caramel (wtf?), not much hops. How do you fuck up a bitter this much? Not remotely convincing.
