Crafted for Connection
We're Candid—a small, family-run brewery in Antigonish, Nova Scotia with big dreams and even bigger heart. Every batch is brewed by Bryan, a pro with international training and serious chops from larger breweries. No hobby setups here.
Rooted in small-town charm, we believe in celebrating everyday moments—the ones that turn into stories. Whether you're grabbing cans for a chill night in or hitting up our taproom for something lively, you're part of something special.
Our core lineup includes a crisp light lager, a smooth rice lager, two bold IPAs (northeast & northwest), a juicy patio sipper, and a rich red ale—plus rotating seasonals for the curious.

Testimonials
"If even half of Candid's beers are this good [as the No Brainer], it will certainly give me one more reason to make the two hour trek to Antigonish to try them all."
Besotted Beer Review

"I had the Lagerish and so far I'm blown away. Great job guys. I can't wait to try the others!"

 "I have Crohn's disease ... I was very happy to try your beer because it actually tasted like beer...The best part was, no headache next day...Â
Anyway, I can go on and on explaining why your brewery is awesome."

"Outstanding. Super impressed. I spent so many years in the southwest that I'm super picky about my west coast IPAs. Yours (Humdinger) is spot on. Well done."
