Houblon Bastien's mission is to promote local products. We want to talk about what we do, and we want to talk about what we do with you. As one of the ambassadors of Quebec brewing products, we've decided to continue with our 100% Quebec collabos for 2024.

For the love of local products

Houblon Bastien celebrated the 30th anniversary of the Mondial de la bière by becoming an official partner of the event. Some of the 27 beers brewed especially for this anniversary were conceived with our hops, as well as local malts and yeasts. It was a golden opportunity to showcase our terroir and affirm our commitment to the quality and authenticity of Quebec products.

The best micros - Our hops

We've had the immense pleasure of collaborating with several Quebec microbreweries who share our passion for local products and brewing creativity. Among them are established names, as well as newcomers who bring a breath of fresh air to the brewing scene.

L'Espace public - Brasseurs de quartier - Sixty seasons

4.5% Malt used: Innomalt's modern Pils and red wheat Yeast: saison, Le Labo - Brewing Solutions Hops: Hallertauer Tradition & Crystal A beautiful 100% local hop saison, perfect after taming the lawnmower!

Le Cheval Blanc - Velourrrs - 6.5% The Ch'fal's New England IPA!

Although this beer is part of its traditional menu, this time Le Cheval Blanc opted for a brew made entirely from Quebec ingredients, on the occasion of the 30th Mondial de la bière.

La Halte des Crinqués - Blanche with orange and raspberry - 4.5 %

This seasonal beer is synonymous with freshness and authenticity. The perfect blend of barley, wheat and hops gives this elixir a uniquely Quebec personality. This white beer is the perfect accompaniment to the festive moments that await you. A tippable beer that promises a light, memorable experience.

La Knowlton Co - Lager Québécoise - 5.3 %

A dry, flavorful lager with typical Québécois maple aromas. This beer is the result of brewing Inomalt malt with our Crystal hops and yeast from Le Labo - Solutions Brassicoles.

Microbrasserie Le Temps d'une Pinte - L'OSSTIDSHOW DE BOUCANE - 3.5 %

This little brewery from Poland arrives like a forest fire in the desert of your thirst, like May '68 taking a dump in your pint of draft, like an iconoclastic theater troupe setting the place on fire, like an Osstidshow de Boucane in your face! Brewed for ages, this Polish style almost fell into oblivion at the end of the 20th century, before being rescued in extremis by homebrewers around the world, pioneers and avant-gardists of the microbrewing revolution. Foam: dense and persistent Nose: smoky, cereal Mouth: herbaceous, effervescent, mineral Finish: dry and short, evolving profile

Microbrasserie la Forge du Malt - Le Smash - 5.4 %

A beer made from a single malt, the Maltraiteur base malt, and a single hop, our Alpharoma. Flavors of peach, green apple and apricot. The simplicity of this beer highlights our wonderful Quebec hops.

3 Brasseurs - Heritage - 6 %

30 brewers, 30 hops, some from our own fields, an aromatic ballet, a symphony of flavors, weaving together the essence of 30 years of the Mondial, in every sip, a story to savor.

These collaborations aren't just partnerships, they're an expression of our commitment to promoting freshness and quality in every brew. They show that when passionate people get together, special things can happen. Always ready for new collaborations!

Our enthusiasm for collaborations doesn't stop there. We're always on the lookout for new breweries ready to explore the infinite possibilities our hops have to offer. We have quantities available for those wishing to test our products, and we're more than ever ready to embark on new brewing adventures.

Whether you're an established microbrewery or a newcomer to the scene, we invite you to discover our hops and imagine the exceptional beers we could create together.

Why a blind tasting competition?

Joining forces with Mondial de la bière for this blind tasting competition was a natural decision for Houblon Bastien. Not only does it allow us to showcase the quality of our products, it also reinforces our mission to support and promote Quebec's terroir. Every beer brewed with our hops is a celebration of the richness and diversity of our region.

We're proud of what we've achieved so far, and can't wait to see what the future holds. Together, let's make Quebec brewing products shine!
