Everyone’s favourite Craft Draught Showdown returns to The Carleton in September!  Join us for this fun and casual competition at 7:00 pm Wednesday, September 25th when Lawrencetown’s Lunn’s Mill Beer Company and Halifax’s Garrison Brewing go head to head.

Enjoy 5 courses prepared by Chef Mathias Probst, each one paired with two 4 oz beer selected by expert Brewmasters to complement the dish.  Chef and brewers will be on hand to speak about their pairings.  You vote for the most successful pairing after each course, with the grand winner declared at the end of the evening.

We cannot recommend this talented young singer-songwriter-guitar phenom enough. Tickets still available online HERE.

“Smokin’ bluegrass!” -BBC Radio.  “Blistering” -The Fretboard Journal.  “One of the most vibrant shows of acoustic music I’ve seen in some time…  with authority, passion, and yet ability for experimentation” –Tom Power, host of CBC’s q.

The Coast’s Burger Bash strikes again!  Here’s a sneak peek at The Carleton’s HFX-MEX burger.

Atlantic beef patty seared to perfection and served with a classic Cotija cheese. A refreshing pico de gallo will balance the richness of our spicy and sour Tajín crema, and the shredded lettuce will bring in the crunch factor to bring this burger to a whole new level ($15). Pair with famous Carleton frites or side salad ($7) and quench your thirst with a cold Garrison on tap ($7). $1 from every burger sold, every side sold, and every brew sold goes to Feed Nova Scotia so a full meal deal means we contribute $3 to this worthy cause!

As if the JUNOs epic kickoff party with Jim Cuddy, Sam Polley, Devin Cuddy, Jenn Grant, Adam Baldwin, Jill Barber, Rose Cousins, Brad & Quinn Dalgarno, Julian Taylor, and Damhnait Doyle and kickass Halifax all-star band Serge Samson, Ryan Stanley, and Jordan Murphy wasn’t exciting enough… our very own Mike Campbell joined the fun for his first out-of-hospital jaunt in almost 3 months! And yes, he did walk up on stage under his own steam to introduce the show!

Thanks to John Demont and The Chronicle Herald for sharing Mike’s story.
