From the record

Summary

Quebec RACJ historical brewer-permit register records Le Fringant Recruteur with an artisanal brewer permit issued 1994-06-26 and revoked 1998-02-05 in Saint-Hyacinthe.

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

Three and a half years on the Quebec RACJ register: an artisanal brewer's permit issued on 26 June 1994 and revoked on 5 February 1998. The name is a near-cousin of Montréal's Le Sergent Recruteur, another brewpub in this archive, though no connection between them is recorded anywhere. Permit registers give exact dates and almost nothing else, which for a brewery this size is a fair trade.
