Story & Photos by Cheri Sicard 
Covered In This Article
We dined at downtown Saint John's Tapp's Brewpub, a casual bar and restaurant with a variety of great micro-brews. The fare was typical of pub fare, hearty sandwiches and snacks (unfortunately, not much for vegetarians), with a few surprises thrown in for good measure. In addition to the good brew, Tapp's had excellent soups (like the potato beer soup we got the recipe for) and one of the best chocolate pies I have ever had (they also graciously shared this recipe). Much of their fare, like the Tapp's recipes we are publishing here, have beer as one of the ingredients. Yes, you read that right. Chocolate pie made with beer! A hearty dark stout to be exact. The bitterness of the stout, mixes wonderfully with the richness of the chocolate. Give it a try, you won't be sorry!

Our
tour starts in Saint John, where you'll also arrive if you happen
to fly into New Brunswick. Saint John, originally founded by loyalists
in 1785 sits near the mouth of the 450 mile Saint John River, which runs
backwards twice a day during the high tides! Adventuresome tourists can
take a jet boat to ride through the rapids at Reversing Falls,
truly an "E-Ticket" ride. Those wishing a calmer pace will delight
in a historical tour of this fascinating town.
