The Pointe-Claire Citizens’ Association (PCCA) hosted a talk by Labrosse founder Troy Olynyk on April 23 at Microbrasserie Labrosse in Pointe-Claire.

As part of the PCCA Speaker Series, Olynyk provided an informative tour of the brewing area and an explanation of the brewing process. He also spoke about how he got started in microbrewing and the challenges facing the industry in Quebec.

There was an excellent turnout, with participants enjoying free samples of each beer on tap and receiving a special discount on a four-pack of Wicked Nor'easter to take home.

Microbrasserie Labrosse is a community-based brewery in the West Island that opened in February 2017. Their beers can be purchased directly from their brewery and local craft beer specialty stores like Épicerie Prette in Pointe-Claire Village. Labrosse has a taproom and terrace where patrons can enjoy fine beer and tasty fare. You can follow them on social media for regular social events like their Trivia Night. They also host private events.

On behalf of the PCCA and all those who attended, a big thank you to Troy Olynyk and his team for generously hosting this event.
