Nine Locks Brewing Co.

“To create the best beer possible, we brew all of our beer in small batches using all natural ingredients with no filtration, no pasteurization, and never any preservatives.”

One night in the summer of 2014, Shaun and Danny (O’Hearn), his cousin and next door neighbor, were having a few craft beers around the backyard fire talking about beer and how Nova Scotia needed more great micro breweries. Soon, they started talking about how great it would be to open a full-fledged microbrewery and use the proven recipes from the brewpub to produce the same great beer on a larger scale. Like many talks around a fire on a warm summer night, the more they drank, the more it sounded like a great idea! When they both woke up the next morning (late morning), the late night discussions came back to them and it really didn’t sound like crazy talk. Soon, discussions turned into planning, and then that turned into securing a location, and before they knew it, they were building a brewery.
