- 2007The Saint-Jérôme brewery
To escape the brewpub's production cap: "Renovations begin in December of 2006. The brewery is built first, in order to begin production as soon as possible. In August 2007 construction begins on a pub in the same building, with the first beers served to customers in January 2008."

"In 2017, Etienne Tremblay - employee for over ten years and directer general at the time - becomes the fourth shareholder"; the company remains owned by "the two original founders Jean-Francois Gravel and Stephane Ostiguy", Isabelle Charbonneau and Tremblay.
