Salt Box Brewery is a gem. The staff truly make this place what it is. Every time we’ve been here, they’re personable, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It never feels rushed or transactional… it feels like coming home. The first hello to the last pour, you can tell they care, and man this makes all the difference. It’s the kind of place you can settle into, laugh a little longer, and forget about the clock. A must visit spot that never disappoints.We love each visit!

I am an infrequent on-site customer but a monthly subscriber of their very decent products. I love that I am shopping locally and my loyalty is rewarded with being treated royally. I have been with them for a few years now and the staff/management are the very best. I just wish I lived closer.

What an excellent stop in charming Mahone Bay. We were a group from out of town and this was one of our highlights of our east coast tour. Friendly and fun staff, superb selection of drinks even for those who don’t drink beer or alcohol. Outstanding live music and welcoming crowd in a marvellous atmosphere!!
