ABOUT Good Robot Brewing Company

Welcome to Good Robot, a brewery, bar, restaurant and beer garden run by a pack of misfits in the heart of Halifax’s historic North End. Our beers are known to be eclectic, eccentric, and untrue to style, fraught with foraged materials, impulse decisions, and whimsy. We don’t make ‘craft beer’; we make beer (kinda). And we enjoy sharing our beer, our building, and our childish minds with our communities.

In the summer, our GastroTurf (beer garden featuring AstroTurf) brings all the flavours of summer ales to the familiar comfort of a putting green. Year-round, we host oddball events, brew with the community, sponsor festivals, facilitate charitable incentives, and make questionable marketing decisions. Want to sit your bum somewhere and let your freak flag fly? Well, matey, set sail for Halifax's Most Questionable Brewing Experience.

STAFF

Good Robot began with 3 longtime friends and misfits who quit engineering to pursue their dream of quitting engineering. Of course, we had to do something to make money, and given we were spending nearly half of each paycheck on beer, pursuing a good-time beer company was the next natural step. Since 2015, the group of 3 former engineers has grown into a band of misfits who share our values of good times, goodwill and good nature. So drop by sometime - maybe you’ll join our band, too.

GOODWILL BOT

Every Monday a different nonprofit organization enters our taproom to engage our patrons, potentially recruit new members, and receive $1 of each pint sale that evening. We try to support many community incentives, focusing on underserved communities and communities fitting the interests of our diverse clientele. Therefore, we typically do not fund the following incentives:

Events or organizations outside of Nova Scotia
Bands. Sorry, folks, but there are too many to play preference!
Sports or athletics groups (though we do consider some underserved or quirky sports)
Student or university teams or groups
Political parties
Asks exceeding $500 unless there is room for a substantial partnership. We are still a small business and have a limited amount we can donate without mutually benefiting in a grander way

DONATIONS

We are happy to support and consider various community fundraising incentives. To learn more, visit our Goodwill page.

Good Robot Brewing Co. makes videos. Fun videos. Important videos.

When the Nova Scotia film credit perished, we were quick to exploit the unemployed misfit. Peruse the entire collection here to learn important things like how not to behave at a bar, why we don't believe in the term craft beer, why Donkey Kong is no longer allowed in our establishment, and how women and femmes play an important part in brewing.

OUR NEIGHBOURS

Just to the south of our building resides the Centre for Islamic Development, a nonprofit organization whose motto is to promote understanding and peace through education. Given that this is a place of worship, child and adult education, prayer, and community, we ask that our guests please be mindful and respectful of their presence. Kindly resist the urge to be excessively loud in and around our location. Do not smoke or loiter outside the Centre or we will kindly ask you to move in front of our building. We make every effort to keep the sidewalks in front of both our buildings clean, but please use the appropriate cigarette butt disposal. Thank you for your understanding and for reading all about Good Robot Brewing Company.
