Péché Mortel Bourbon, their popular coffee stout aged in American bourbon barrels, is the highest-ranked Canadian beer on the site.

Co-founders Stéphane Ostiguy Jean-François Gravel met while studying microbiology in Laval.

The two scientists opened their brewpub in Montreal’s Plateau neighbourhood in 1998. They brewed the beer during the day, and served it at night.

It was six months before they hired their first server.

Now, they have a second brewpub in St-Jérôme, where they also bottle their beer for distribution to retailers.

In 2017, they brewed 1.3 million litres of beer, and expect to top that in 2018.

The microbrewery celebrates 20 years in business in September.
