Thousands of Quebecers descended on Fort Chambly's National historical site to sip and to celebrate the best of Quebec's brews and flavours.
The volume of gin sales rose 81.8 per cent in the country, according to census data, Quebec being the largest contributor to increased sales.
“Gin gives the possibility to explore a whole panel of flavour and we’re really open-minded here about the flavours,” said Gabrielle Panaccio, event director at Distillerie 3 Lacs. “If you go to Europe, they’re more into London Dry gin, more classic spirits as well.” Dieu du Ciel was one of the first vendors when the festival started in 2002 and one of the first microbreweries in the province.
Michel Villeneuve, an ambassador for the brewery, said the craft beer scene is seeing a huge boom since the pandemic.“Before 2018, I said in French, ‘Le Quebec va torcher le monde’ — Quebec is going to set the world on fire,” Villeneuve said. “[It’s] the passion of the brewers, the love of the brewers and just the quality of the terroir.”With more than 300 microbreweries across Quebec and more than 60 new ones coming up, organizers say the festival is becoming more relevant every year.
