Garrison Brewing Company
Garrison Brewing was founded in 1997 in the north end of Halifax, opening with an Irish Red Ale and a Nut Brown Ale. In 2006 it moved into the 1929 Immigration Annex on the south-end waterfront as the first tenant of the redeveloped Halifax Seaport, and in 2014 again into a former CN rail repair building nearby, where a purpose-built brewhouse supplies the core range. The original plant still runs as a market brewery for specialties and collaborations. Foraged local ingredients recur across the seasonal beers: spruce tips, lavender, rhubarb, pumpkin.

How we measure this
Two thresholds are at work here:
- The signature list shows notes that recur in at least 6% of this brewery's beers. A low bar — enough to flag a pattern, not high enough to call it an exclusive trait.
- The peer comparison below shows only notes where this brewery's coverage differs from similar breweries by at least 20 percentage points. A higher bar — enough to call a real difference, not a nudge.
A note can appear on the signature list without appearing in the peer comparison: it recurs here, but similar breweries do the same thing.
