Tar Ponds Black is a great tasting, smooth dark beer produced right here on Cape Breton Island at the Coke Ovens brewery in Sydney, Nova Scotia. The beer is so good that truckloads of it are regulary shipped off to the mainland, the rest of Canada, and the United States. Tar Ponds Black is owned by the Labatt brewery but this special tonic is only produced in Cape Breton. For only $6.99, tourists and expatriate Capers can buy a souvenir bottle to take back home with them, for a limited time it even comes with a Cape Breton tartan bow.
