Le Cheval Blanc is a brewpub located on rue Ontario in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. In 1986, it became the first licensed brewpub in Montreal.[1]
Some of its craft beers available on tap being quite popular, in 1987 the establishment started a microbrewery of its own: La Brasserie Le Cheval Blanc, which is also said to be the city's first.[2] In 1998, it merged with two other microbreweries Les Brasseurs GMT and Les Brasseurs de l'Anse to form Les Brasseurs RJ.
- The Cheval's bottled beers most commonly available in Quebec's dépanneurs are:
- La Blanche Cheval Blanc, traditional Belgian white, 5%[3]
- Coup de grisou, buckwheat amber ale, spiced with coriander, refermented, 5%
In 1999, the tavern was renovated and is now also a music venue and an art gallery.[4]
