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 at brewery. Pours clear gold with white head. Aroma has cinnamon and sweet pear. Flavour is sweet courtesy of the pear with some cinnamon and maybe a little bit of funk hidden away. Gets more syrupy with each sip. Tastes like a beer for people who don't like beer. Just brew a sweet cider and spare us the misery.

Flight at brewery. Pours black with tan head. Aroma brings out a lot of coffee, dark chocolate, and roasted malts. Flavour is very similar to aroma, with more emphasis on the malts. Solid stout.

473ml can. Pours a hazy pale gold with a small, foamy, long lasting, off-white head that laces nicely. Mild aroma of bready wheat malt, grapefruit, earthy yeast and weedy hops. Sweet fruity flavour of bready wheat malt, tangerine, apricot, lemon, earthy yeast and weedy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with an oily texture and average carbonation. Refreshing and crushable, but I thought Uncle Giggles was slightly better.

473 ml can. Pours a thick cloudy amber with huge head. Aromas of orange pith, melons and wheaty malts. Flavors of same with additional chalk and a bit of sharper citrus. Doesn’t say it’s a hazy on the can. But it is. Brewers need to be clear. Points deducted.
