Tucked away on the scenic Bonavista Peninsula, Port Rexton Brewing Co. is not just a craft beer stop — it’s a full-on East Coast experience. Think locally brewed ales, friendly community spirit, and a beer garden with the kind of coastal charm that makes you want to stay awhile. 

Founded by a queer-friendly duo with a passion for quality and community, this brewery has become a must-visit for both locals and travelers — including many LGBTQ+ visitors exploring Newfoundland’s quieter, artsy side. With a rotating lineup of small-batch brews (including their famous T-Rex Blonde and Island Sessions IPA), there’s something here for every taste — from hoppy adventurers to crisp lager lovers.

The taproom and beer garden are cozy, welcoming, and often buzzing with good conversation, live music, and the occasional food truck. Whether you’re hiking the Skerwink Trail, staying in Trinity, or road-tripping the peninsula, Port Rexton Brewing is the perfect pause point.
