Pump House Pub and Brewery


by Heather Ferguson

One of the newest trends in vacationing is “culinary” or “gastro” tourism. Television shows like The Great Canadian Food Show with popular actor Carlo Rota and entire television networks devoted to food have created a new appetite for the epicurean delights of the kitchen among vacationers today. More exposure to the global village have rendered people more adventuresome in sampling exotic fare from the world over. If this is where your interests lie, there is no better place in Atlantic Canada to experience great restaurants with foods from such diverse origins as India, Japan, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Ireland, Holland, France, Switzerland, Sweden, and Germany. Vacationing closer to home this summer? Begin your culinary tour at one of the best places to relax with friends and enjoy a brew with your meal.

Pump House Pub and Brewery can be found in the heart of Downtown Moncton at 5 Orange Lane. One of the most popular gathering places in the Greater Moncton Area, the Pump House Pub and Brewery carries its own brand of beer with eight different styles from which to choose including the award-winning Blueberry Ale, Cadian Ale, Scotch Ale, and Fire Chief Red Ale. Offering 6-pack and keg sales seven days a week, this place is a must as part of your summer vacation plans!

Founded in 1999 by Shaun and Lilia Fraser, award winners as outstanding entrepreneurs in the beer brewing business, the Pump House Pub and Brewery has been highly successful since its inception. The result has been an expansion to encompass a brewing and bottling plant at 131 Mill Road with the Barn Yard BBQ Restaurant established onsite. To date, the Pump House Pub and Brewery is one of the most popular suppliers of locally-made beer to liquor stores throughout most of the Atlantic provinces and Ontario with plans for further expansion into Newfoundland and Quebec. Winner of the coveted “Brewery of the Year” Award for 2005 at the Canadian Brewing Awards, the Pump House Pub and Brewery looks toward a bright future of developing new brands annually.

Both the Pump House Pub and the Barn Yard BBQ offer a delicious menu to accompany its brew. Ten kinds of pizza, a selection of tasty burgers, sandwiches, and salads offer tasty fare in Angus Steak, Fire Hazard Chili, Pub Style Fish n’ Chips, and Wood Oven Eggplant. Smoke House Salads feature grilled chicken breast, BBQ shrimp, or pulled pork toppers, and a selection of Cajun “food with attitude” with jambalayas, baked easy, Creole shrimp, and Cajun ribs among its choices. It is truly a treat for the tastebuds! Uncertain as to what should be the perfect brew to accompany your meal? The Brewmaster is only too happy to recommend such favourites with intriguing names such as Muddy River Stout, Red Russian, Malibu Tan, Black and Tan, and Black and Blue. Whatever the choice, it’s certain to be an unforgettable experience!
