The city celebrates its 375th anniversary this year with some new beers—made by local brewers with hops grown by montreal residents.
SINCE 2014, THE NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION Montréal Houblonnière has been on a grassroots mission to cover Montreal in hops. Walk through the city’s neighborhoods and you’ll find more than 10 varieties growing up walls and balconies, in alleys and on green roofs, at the botanical gardens and on university campuses. By distributing hop plants—houblon in French—to citizens, the group hopes to encourage new relationships between residents and the city’s brewers.
