Quidi Vidi Brewery

St John's

This microbrewery is located in an old fish-processing plant on the tiny wharf. It's a swell place to enjoy a drink. Call ahead to book a tasting, which lasts around 45 minutes. Locals prefer you to park on the outskirts of town and walk in.

The fee includes ample tastings and a bottle to sip while touring. Be sure to try the Iceberg brand, made with water from the big hunks.

On Friday nights, the brewery hosts a kitchen party with Irish music kicking off at 6pm. A seafood boil occurs on Saturdays starting at noon.
