It was La Collin, an Irish red ale, that first brought attention to the Le Malbord microbrewery. Inspired by Leon Collin, a fisherman originally from Tourelle who was also a storyteller in his spare time, this beer will introduce you to the unique character of Haute-Gaspésie. Le Malbord also makes several other tasty craft beers inspired by the riches of the land and offers a few options from invited microbreweries that change every few weeks. Located in a former general store, Le Malbord gives new life to this heritage building.
