The Boxing Rock Brewing Company is located in Shelburne on Nova Scotia’s South Shore. Exploding on the Nova Scotia scene in 2013, Boxing Rock’s team produces innovative and traditional beers, offering a wide range of styles and offerings for every taste and preference.
According to local folklore, Boxing Rock is where bickering seamen were left by their captain to sort out their differences. The choice: box until only one could return to the ship or shake hands and share a beer.
Tasting Notes
Pouring a dark brown with creamy tan head. Biscuity aromas of chocolate, toasted nuts, and brown bread that lead into a soft, smooth palate with notes of dark fruit, coffee, and chocolate. Finishes dry, with a light body.

Method
The Irish Dry Stout style was popularized by Guinness. Dry stout is a black beer with a dry-roasted character thanks to the use of roasted barley. The emphasis on coffee-like roasted barley and a moderate degree of roasted malt aromas define much of the character. Hop bitterness is medium to medium high. This beer is often dispensed via nitrogen gas taps that lend a smooth, creamy body to the palate. This one however, is carbonated.
