We visited Lane’s Privateer Inn two years ago when we first started The Local Traveler NS. At that time we fell in love with Liverpool’s waterfront, which Lane’s overlooks, enjoyed their chowder and discovered locally-brewed Hell Bay beer. Since then, we’ve been on the Taste of Nova Scotia Chowder Trail, and have switched our beer-drinking practices to almost exclusively locally-crafted beer. We were looking forward to reacquainting ourselves with Lane’s offerings with our now experienced palettes.
The chowder was $8.95/bowl. The base was cream and herbs, with lobster, haddock, large scallops cut in chunks, and potatoes. It came served with a homestyle biscuit, butter & crackers. We paired it with a Hell Bay English Ale which was amber with a nice finish and just a hint of bitterness. We gave it a 7.7/10
