Gaspésie and its microbreweries and distilleries
Taste Gaspésie’s Beers and Spirits
Across the peninsula, about ten microbreweries and six distilleries offer their handcrafted products.
Beers are brewed with coastal inspiration, while gins and rums are distilled using local plants and ingredients. Many of these establishments, sometimes housed in historic buildings, tell the story of the region as much as they showcase its flavors. From a former prison to a converted church, or a product named after a local cape or legend, countless details reflect the spirit of Gaspésie.
Enjoy tastings on site, in a pub or tasting room, with the opportunity to meet the makers themselves. Open year-round, these spots fit perfectly into a peninsula tour. And for a hotel aperitif or souvenirs to take home, consider stocking up. Cheers!
