Dieu du Ciel!
Montreal & Saint-Jérôme, Quebec, Canada · Est. 1998
Tally's Take
Why this matters
A world-benchmark brewery that still runs its original Montreal brewpub. Péché Mortel — an imperial coffee stout brewed with fair-trade coffee — became a global reference point for the style long before pastry stouts were a thing, and put Quebec on the international beer map.
The founding thesisBrewmaster Jean-François Gravel and Stéphane Ostiguy opened a tiny brewpub on Montreal's Avenue Laurier to brew boundary-pushing beers Quebec had never tasted.
