Propeller Brewing Company
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada · Est. 1997
Tally's Take
Why this matters
Halifax's longest-running independent, still making ESB. Traditional British ale is the least fashionable thing a brewery can do and the hardest to do badly.

An ESB as a flagship in 1997, and still going. Halifax's longest-running independent picked the least fashionable style available and simply kept making it well.
