La Bastien, Le Bilboquet


American Pale Ale with our Chinook hops

Yeast : juicy, Le Labo - Solutions Brassicoles

Inspired by Troeggs Nugget Nectar, it is said to be veiled, fruity, and highly drinkable.

Soho, Jackalhop


Pale Ale with our Cascade hops

Malt used : house

Yeast : Le Labo - Solutions Brassicoles

Jackalhop chose to brew a thirst beer with a slight piney side and a sharp bitterness, enhanced by notes of grapefruit and tangerine.

Vin d'orge, Mille-Îles


American BarleyWine with our Centennial hops

Malt used : M2 Innomalt inc. / MaltBroue

Yeast : LSB5004 - Le Labo - Solutions brassicoles, English yeast

Brasserie Mille-Îles brewed an American-inspired barley wine because of the origins of Centennial hops. The result is a beer with 9% alcohol, brewed with Quebec malts offering caramelized flavors, toast and hazelnuts. Blending well with the fruity flavors of the centennial and balanced by a frank bitterness, characteristic of the style.

Fauteur de trouble, À la fût


Hazy IPA with our Crystal hops

Malt used : Pils - Malterie Caux Laflamme/Le Maltraiteur

The Troublemaker is an inspiration of the "Hazy IPA", a beer of cloudy appearance, silky in the mouth, where the flavors and aromas of hops (here exclusively Crystal) are generously put forward.

La Commonwealth, St-Pancrace


Bitter with the microbrewery St-Pancrace and our hops Glacier

Malt used : Caux-Laflamme

Yeast : english yeast, Le Labo - Solutions brassicoles

The woody, green hop and dried citrus flavors of Glacier inspired a Best Bitter at 4.3% alcohol. Light, pourable, subtly malty and dry, Commonwealth is perfect for long discussions around the bar.

Amber beer of thirst made with our hops Hallertauer Tradition

Malt used : Caux Laflamme/Innomalt Inc.

Yeast : Kveik, Le labo - Brewing solutions

Recipe inspired by a Vienna lager, the result is an amber beer of harvest well balanced between the malty taste and a slight bitterness in the finish. Herbaceous flavors and toast that come from the hops Hallertauer, a noble hops native to Germany.

White Sorachi with our hops Sorachi Ace
