Take your pick: adrenaline packed or slow and contemplative?
Updated on Jun 6, 2025
I’m telling you, there’s always something’s brewing in the Eastern Townships! In fact, the artisanal beer sector is presently quite effervescent! The result? Mugs filled with bold flavours, served in surroundings overflowing with character. Here are six locations where raising your glass is a truly memorable experience. . .
The pub, with its microbrewery products, pays tribute to this mining town’s builders. Therefore, you’ll find it established in an industrial setting, with its interior surrounded by artifacts and relics from the Jeffrey Mine. Here you’ll definitely be able to quench your thirst for discovering amazing brews.
Here, praising the slow way of doing things is what allows the brewers to offer natural beers as they take all their time fermenting to perfection. Indeed, Robin’s beers spend between 3 and 24 months in barrels and then ferment a second time in bottles for 6 to 8 weeks. From this long maturation process, their dry and funky beers emerge.
Here “wild” yeast is what gives their brews their strong flavour. The Brouërie proudly boasts that it is the only establishment to concoct all its beers with its Brettanomyces. Plus, the pub is really a cool place to hang out.
A heritage façade, a touch of creative flair, and a deep respect for the craft of brewing. Located in the heart of the village that shares its name, Brasserie Dunham is one of the most respected in Québec for its saisons and barrel-aged creations. The atmosphere is both laid-back and lively, with an on-site boutique, live shows, and even a few rooms upstairs to extend your stay. Here, every sip carries bold character and a strong sense of place.
The pioneer of microbreweries of Quebec was established in a lovely Victorian-style home. Inside this typical English pub atmosphere, you’ll be tempted to immediately order their home-made fish’n chips, but before you do, check out their brewing vats as you’ll enjoy their guided tour (by appointment only).
Beat & Betterave, is a Café de Village established in Frelighsburg. It’s also, since 2020, a nanobrewery. Easygoing, friendly and unpretentious, the place also has a small entertainment hall where you’ll enjoy some well-known artists perform for you. Along with the beers, brewed onsite, and a very local menu, this trio will offer you a truly perfect moment!
