Québec City Craft Breweries List
Microbreweries have come a long way in recent years, and Québec City is far from an exception. Discovering a new brewery is a pretty good time. We love nosing out the flavours and subtleties of different beers, knowing they’re all crafted with pride by local brewers. Some brewpubs even pair their beers with delicious terroir cuisine. Heaven!
