Quebec has more microbreweries per capita than almost anywhere else in North America, and each one has its own personality: a riverside taproom, a neighbourhood brewery with street food, a farm brewery growing its own hops. This guide brings together the microbreweries across the province, each with the venue’s listing, address, opening hours and what you’ll find there, taproom, shop, patio, food.
Tips: many microbreweries close early on weekdays and fill up on Saturday nights; book ahead for groups. Most offer tasting flights of four to six beers to get a sense of the range before choosing. And if you’re driving, most have non-alcoholic beers or house-made kombucha.
Our favourites
Bedondaine et Bedons Ronds, Chambly. A microbrewery and brewing heritage museum: watch the brewer at work in the brewhouse, then choose from exclusive beers and nearly 150 single malt scotches, on the patio.
Les Grands Bois, Saint-Casimir, Portneuf. A place for both beer and culture: a shop open every day, a performance hall, a riverside park and a festive market on summer Fridays.
L’Ardoise, coopérative brassicole, Richmond, Eastern Townships. A young microbrewery where you taste several styles of beer over a bite to eat, no fuss, on a lovely patio.
La Ferme du Tarieu, Sainte-Anne-de-la-Pérade, Mauricie. A brewery and pub on a family farm, with 12 beers on tap and, on the mezzanine, an agri-museum on the farming that leads to beer.
Le Malbord Brewery, Sainte-Anne-des-Monts, Gaspésie. A gathering place and cultural venue where you raise a glass of beers brewed on site, in the image of Haute-Gaspésie.
