The beginnings of Brasserie Dieu du Ciel occurred during a time that is ancient history to all, even those who lived through it. The early 1990s was a raucous time of cultural upheaval - even if television didn’t make it appear so. Jean Francois Gravel began his own contribution to this upheaval in 1991 when he began experimenting with a home brewing kit. He quickly decided that making beer was going to be his life’s work. It took until 1998 to get Dieu du Ciel on its feet and pouring pints. By 2005 the production was roaring and demanded the opening of another production facility - so the second brewpub was constructed. The past decade has seen a steady increase in their position and the number of beers they’ve created (over 500). The Blanche Du Paradis is witbier spiced with coriander and orange peel for a fruity beer with a backbone of toasted bread. Serves well at 8°C and can cellar for around six months.
