Here’s a little description to understand the brand :īroken7 is a throwback to your favorite sport team, the team that you’ve always believed in, despite the disappointments and never stopped cheering for. Our main objective is to produce beer that represent Montreal.

We are also on the verge to have a brewpub within the next few months, to be able to drink the actual and future products of our brewery. We are located on rue Guy, in Griffintown. We produce and distribute four different beers at this point:

I ended up recording my thoughts about it. Over the weekend I tried a new beer, Broken 7 by La Compagnie de Bière Brisset (so new in fact, that in this day and age, I can’t find a single useful link anywhere for either of them).
