5 Best Craft Breweries in Fredericton

“What a wonderful experience. We hired Grimross Brewery for my daughter's wedding reception and had a marvelous time. From the start, Emma and her staff, notably Oakley and Sage, provided a beautifully decorated venue and a pleasant experience all around. There were even extras thrown in to enhance our expectations. Emma, I found out afterward, provided better than we requested. I would rather rate this review 7 to 10 out of 5! Thank you Grimross. Jeff“

“We had the pleasure of coming from NS to Trailway Brewing Co. on Saturday night (Sep. 21) to see Ella Campbell sing and play guitar. Besides her show stopping performance, Andrew the MC and greeter extraordinaire, made the night so unique and special with his personal attention to his guests and the performers. The Fetch beer was so good we brought a case home with us. Thanks for the great time!“

“Awesome first time experience! I have driven by a few times and seen folks out for a drink but didn't think I would have the chance to stop in, but on a visit to Picaroons we grabbed a Taproom Trail map and discovered a cool event where you visit several different taprooms and get a stamp to be entered into a draw. The wife and I decided to make every Friday during the summer into a date day at a different taproom. Graystone was our first (we grabbed the trail map at Picaroons but forgot to get the stamp, we will be back) Graystone experience - hands down best service I have yet to experience. I only have three local breweries to compare experiences but was very impressed with Graystone. While ordering a second round I had picked up an additional can for a friend, the guy working said, "I'll put your name on it and leave it in the cooler for when you are ready to leave". It was perfectly cold for when we were ready to leave. I can't speak for the "beer" - I only look for Ciders and when they tell me they have York County Cider on tap - I'm a happy customer! Excellent first time experience!“

“I used to live next to the Industrial Park and I never envisioned this area would have such an asset such as this. While doing the Trailway Map we came across this location – it is a total must return to spot! The location is amazing, inviting & relaxing. There is a great selection of beer – I do wish, like Picaroons they would have a Cider on tap (from York County Cider in town), rather an out of the city option in a can, regardless, I’m happy they have that option.“

“I cannot begin to explain how appreciative I am to a specific staff member at the Cap.
I attended an event last night and shortly after arriving, I fainted. I do have a fainting disorder but had no signs of an episode coming on until it was too late and I went down. I was with my fiance and a few friends but this staff member went above and beyond to make sure I was okay. After I fainted, my friend got someone to notify staff and this staff member came over immediately as soon as he heard a patron needed help! He proceeded to stay with me until he knew I was coherent and okay. My friends said, during this, he asked if there was anything I needed. He provided me with water, a chair and several cold cloths and did not miss a beat when I requested a bucket as typically I get nauseous after fainting. This specific staff member checked on me multiple times through the event. I probably should have went home but there was no way I was missing Sonreal 🤣
He accommodated all my needs and I just needed to say a big thanks to that staff member, although I don't know his name, as he definitely needs acknowledgement for his efforts to make me feel comfortable during and after my episode.
A great atmosphere with caring staff and I couldn't be more appreciative! ❤️“
