Start with nature and beer — right here in Edmundston
Before the beaches and the crowds, there’s a corner of northwestern New Brunswick where nature still takes the lead. If you’re heading east this summer, make Edmundston your first stop.
Here, the rivers run cold, the trails flow naturally, and the beer is brewed right in the heart of downtown. It’s your gateway to a different side of the Maritimes — rooted in forest, footpaths, and friendly chats over a pint.
