A brewery tour, held in the same brick building on Lower Water Street that Alexander Keith created his famous Indian Pale Ale, is a must for imbibers in Halifax. Historical re-enactors walk you through the history of the man, the beer, and the city, before depositing you one hour later in an old fashioned tavern where you can enjoy the fruits of your labours.
