And no visit to Fredericton is complete without a trip to the city’s markets! Consistently named as one of the best farmers’ markets in Canada, the Boyce Farmers’ Market is a Saturday morning tradition in Fredericton, and one way to get some tasty local treats to fuel your adventures. 

All of this fun is making me thirsty!

As if all of this isn’t enough, Fredericton is hoppy to add the tasty reputation as Atlantic Canada’s Brewing Capital to this list of reasons to visit!  With some of the top East Coast craft breweries and ciderhouses scattered all across the city, the concentration of inventive brewers has made Fredericton the place to be when it comes to craft beer and cider. And with 11 taprooms, one taproom per 5,400 people, it ranks Fredericton amongst the most taprooms per capita in Canada.

I’m ready - Beer me!

While there are many bars and restaurants that feature these local delicacies so that anyone looking for a refreshing pint can easily find one, the best place to give these beers and ciders a try is at the individual taprooms. Many of them feature regular live entertainment, and are both kid and pet friendly. Not to mention that many of them are conveniently situated along Fredericton’s extensive trail system for easy access.

To make a visit to these craft taprooms even more appealing, Fredericton-area breweries and cideries, in partnership with Fredericton Tourism, are making it easy for you to discover some new favourites by launching the Fredericton Taproom Trail, the first of its kind in New Brunswick.

So, how does it work?

This passport-style map lists and shows the locations of 11 taprooms around the city. Every time you grab a pint or flight of beer or cider at one of the tasting rooms listed, you’ll get a stamp for that location on your passport.

After collecting stamps from eight different taprooms, you’re eligible for one of our limited-edition t-shirts which can be picked up at the Joyce Pub and STMR.36 BBQ and Social at the Delta Hotels by Marriott Fredericton. And, if you visit each of the taprooms listed and submit your completed passport to Fredericton Tourism, you’ll be entered for a draw to win a Fredericton-craftcation – a free accommodation getaway perfect for any craft beer and cider lover. Is there a better reason to stop at all 11 locations? We can’t think of one!
