About Us
“Nova Scotia’s friendliest harbour, the Authentic Seacoast.” iStopOver Magazine
We’d like to give you a warm welcome to the Authentic Seacoast™ Distilling Company. One of the first 5 craft brewers in Nova Scotia, we pride ourselves in premium products blended and It’s the way we do things here in the seaside village of Guysborough on Nova Scotia’s secluded Eastern Shore. We’ve been a trading community for over 400 years, so we learned a thing or two about making people feel welcome.
Time doesn’t stand still, even in a village of 400 people, so the Authentic Seacoast™ Distilling Company today brings together contemporary lifestyles with yesterday’s traditional spirit. Here you’ll find products like our Rare Bird Craft Beer, Fortress Rum, Glynnevan Whisky or Sea Fever Rum. You'll also find our beautiful coffee roastery where we produce our certified organic, fair trade Full Steam Coffee roasted right here on the beautiful Guysborough harbour. These are the special things that let you take a piece of the Authentic Seacoast home with you.
If your travels take you to Nova Scotia, you can find us in our beautiful distillery, situated on the vineyard off Ferry Lane. Come stay in our yurts on the vineyard, or beautiful DesBarres manor, a historic site of Guysborough.
We hope you enjoy shopping in our online store and that you’ll come visit us in person on beautiful Guysborough harbour to discover the East Coast as it’s meant to be.
“It’s a little off-the-beaten tourist track. And that’s plenty fine with me. Its timeless beauty is the real deal.” Westjet up! Magazine
