The Taproom Trail: 11 stops, one passport

Quick answer

Fredericton’s Taproom Trail spans 11 taprooms. Every pint or flight earns a passport stamp; stamps earn #FredTapTrail swag, and stamping all 11 enters the grand-prize draw. Start downtown (Graystone → King West → Gahan → The Cap), finish on a patio at Picaroons.

Grab a passport at any participating taproom. Every pint or flight earns a stamp; stamps earn #FredTapTrail swag, and stamping all 11 enters you in the grand-prize draw. Brew Bucks — spendable at participants — are sold at Picaroons Roundhouse.

Which Fredericton brewery is best?

Fighting words locally. Consensus starter pack: Picaroons for the patio, TrailWay for hazies, Graystone for tap variety, Maybee for a dependable IPA — and York County Cider when the beer folks drag along a cider person.

Can I walk the Taproom Trail?

The downtown cluster, yes — Graystone, King West, Gahan, The Cap and the Cardinal-adjacent blocks are minutes apart. The Northside pair (York County Cider + Half Cut, across the street from each other) is a bridge walk; Maybee, Grimross and TrailWay want a designated driver.
