Boréale collaborative project
7 new beers
When a pandemic hits our community and Quebec’s economy is slowing down, at Boréale we roll up our sleeves to continue doing what we do best: brew good beers.
We therefore took on the challenge of releasing 7 new innovative beers designed in collaboration with local artists and artisans. It is a project that allows us, in our way, to encourage local businesses and to make you discover the richness of our Quebec talents.

BEER #7 – Merci La Vie
Merci La Vie is a table beer in which our master brewer highlights the complexity of the local cereals as well as the bread of Merci la Vie. The very subtle hops made there dry out this beer without affecting its taste. The Belgian yeast used by Gabriel, for its part, amplifies its peppery notes. A beer that is both complex and thirst-quenching.

BEER #1 – La Traversée
True to its style, this Black IPA will surprise you with its flavors of roasted malts which are usually found in black beers as well as these very sharp hops, typical of American IPA. Besides, it will take you with its notes of taste to make you salivate: well-bodied espresso, subtle notes of burnt caramel and dark chocolate. In the mouth, we let ourselves be surprised by its honeyed body, its frank bitterness, and its small resinous side!
