The Lagabiere Brasserie began with a couple of brothers who decided it was time to work their souls out creating craft beer. Opening in late 2012, it began as a small bistro located in the heart of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu in Quebec and quickly became a favourite microbrewery of the area. By 2016, the brothers decided to get even more ambitious, opening a second brewery and producing bottled beer for distribution around the province. Not long after that, their beer made its way across the country. Their take on craft beer is that it should be a pleasure to experience, and combining that view with a dedication to attentive and precise work has helped their ideas take root far and wide. Five classic beers populate their taps with a rotation of more than a dozen select brews, covering the tastes of all beer drinkers. Ta Meilleure is a New England-style IPA with a dry, thirst-busting body highlighting the citrus and tropical fruits offered by the blend of hops. Serves well at 8°C and should be enjoyed promptly.
