but for the laid-back vibe that welcomed everyone from road trippers and river cruisers to snowmobilers and cyclists. “We’re only three minutes from the highway, so it’s convenient,” Pete says. “But once you’re here, it’s a place to relax - it’s all about the vibe, the atmosphere.” And it’s true - this brewery isn’t nestled in a strip mall or an industrial park. It’s perched above the river with wraparound patios, on-site camping, and docks for boaters to tie up and stay a while. “You can’t have a bonfire in the city when you’re at a brewery,” Pete adds. “Here, you can.” Big Axe’s products reflect that same clarity of purpose. “Our branding is also very clear,” says Krystle. “You know that it’s Big Axe.” Each label shows the brewery name and style front and center. No guesswork. No art-gallery puzzles. “I appreciate art,” Pete says, “but I don’t like spending a lot of time shopping. I want to see exactly what it is, who makes it, and then get out of there and enjoy it!” “We like to research how certain styles were historically brewed,” he shares. “We take inspiration from them but add our own little twist.” Their lineup includes the fan-favorite Kick Axe Double IPA, the Blonde Hatchet, and the Lizzy Borden, a sour with a wink toward dark New England folklore. Big Axe is also pushing into non- alcoholic territory with a house-brewed line called Sociable, developed in honor of a regular who missed the camaraderie of beer after giving up alcohol. “He especially missed the social aspect of beer,” Pete recalls. “That’s what inspired the name Sociable.” Beyond beer, Big Axe offers a full taproom menu - flatbreads, sandwiches, lobster rolls - run by a kitchen partner called Maxed at the Axe. Meanwhile, their second location, Big Axe Ale House & Grill at Mactaquac Provincial Park, serves up a more extensive menu (think brisket dinners, Montreal smoked meat, and salmon entrees) to campers, golfers, and visitors year-round. Both locations are built around the same values: rustic ambiance, great beer, and people who care about the pour. Their commitment to culture shows. Many employees have been with the brewery
