Belgh Brasse is a brewery in Amos, in the Abitibi region of Northwestern Quebec, Canada.

History[]

The business was founded in 1999 by Jean-Louis Marcoux, a Belgian brewmaster. At the beginning, the business was selling the beer "8". In 2004, Jean-Louis Marcoux, a devoted entrepreneur and beer brewing passionate, brought together some private investors to grow the brewery.

In 2011 Belgh Brasse launched a new product, the beer Mons.

Previous Products[]

8

Their first product was called "8", a Belgian-style bottle-fermenting beer. This beer is not on the market anymore.

Taïga

Their second product was the Taïga, a golden ale launched at Christmas 2004. The water for this beer was taken from a local esker; the high quality of this water was one of the reasons for the beer's success. This beer is not on the market anymore.

Current Products[]

Mons

An abbey ale line is called Mons. This is a product line of three abbey ale inspired beers. They have a white beer (Abbey Witte), a blonde beer (Abbey Blonde), a dubell (Abbey Dubbel) and a Quadruppel (Abbey Quadruppel). The water used to brew those beers still comes from an esker from Abitibi. The name Mons is inspired by the city of Mons, where Jean-Louis Marcoux, the brewmaster was born. This beer already has success in United States and in Canada.

La Bittt à Tibbi

This is a line of beers the brewer says is inspired by the music and poetry of Raôul Duguay.[1] These each have a boreal forest animal on the label. The original three released were a Pale Ale (Moose); Blond Lager (Bear); and Kristall Witte (Wolf). Subsequently, three more were added: an India Pale Ale (Arctic Hare); Red Ale (Fox); and Pilsner (Beaver).

Awards[]

The Mons Abbey Witte beer won a bronze medal in the category Wheat Beer -- Belgian Style White/Wit at the Canadian Brewing awards 2012[2]; gold medals in the category in 2016[3] and 2019[4]; and a silver medal in 2020 in the category Wheat Beer -- Belgian-Style Strong Ale Pale/Dark/Specialty.[5]
