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.

Flight pour at Robie taproom. Pours clear blonde with white head. Not much aroma. Flavour has straw, expired malts. Not a great pilsner.

On tap at their North Park beer garden. Pours nearly opaque yellow with minimal white head. Aroma has berries and stonefruit, some gasoline. Flavour is similar; some chalkiness and hop burn, but not too egregious. Could be worse.

473mL can. Pours clear blonde with small white head. Aroma has pale malts, lime, and a hint of jalapeño. Flavour has soggy cracker malts, lime, and present but subtle jalapeño peppers. The adjuncts save it from complete mediocrity.

Poured from the tap @ Good Robot on Robie. Clear golden orange with small white head. Seems to be multiple versions of this, but this is the 5.8% abv version of a citrus APA. Caramel malt, mild pine hops. Simple, but decent.

Poured from the tap @ Good Robot on Robie. Hazy yellow gold with small white head. Berry and light pithy resin hops. Better than expected for Good Robot.

355 can. Pours a dark brown with huge bubbly head. Aromas of thin roasted malts and maybe some lactose. Flavors of lactose, postage stamp and sweet roasted barley. Thin. More on the lines of a porter.
