We went to the 6th
Annual Halifax Seaport Beerfest, along
Pier 21 in the seaport market district of the downtown core.
We reviewed our top 3 brew, the biggest surprise, disappointment, food & overall vibe of the show.
Our Top 3 Brews, we focused on
IPA and
Pale Ale as there was a nice mix of a variety of vendors from
Ontario,
Quebec,
Maine and
International.

Avoiding Chores is a collection of interests from a group of guys who do everything possible NOT to do chores. This involves getting into a number of interests such as: hiking, camping, outdoors, bushcraft, running, beer reviews, live hangouts and long term projects like living off the grid or stone carving.
