Micro-breweries
 In Quebec, it has become more and more popular and pleasant to meet with friends around a great beer. Afternoon meetings are becoming popular, just like small pubs and breweries, which you will find in every city. The variety of Quebec's beers keeps growing. Whether you like blond, amber, golden or red beer, you will find one you will like, for sure.
There are numerous microbreweries in Quebec and you will find most of them in Québec, in Montréal, Montérégie, Charlevoix, Laurentides and the Eastern Townships. These microbreweries produce high-quality beers that taste best with regional products served in these establishments. Some microbreweries offer sampling, like the Alchimiste in Lanaudière, or the Bedondaine and Bedons Ronds in Montérégie. Some microbreweries produce a large variety of beers, like the Gambrinus in Mauricie, which produces about 30 different kinds. The beer economuseum, the only one in Canada, is also in Mauricie. This establishment, Les bières de la Nouvelle-France, invites visitors to enter the world of beers. Here, you will be told the history of beer in Quebec, and you can even see the brewers at work! The Microbrasserie d'Orléans, in the Québec region, makes beers with suggestive names that render all the magic of Île d'Orléans. For a most agreeable stay in Quebec, ask for a local beer to accompany your next meal in a restaurant or during a night with friends.
