A BREWHOUSE AT THE EDGE OF OF BREWING ART
Les Brasseurs RJ benefit from the best facilities and the best brewing equipment in Quebec, which allows them to brew beers whose quality is irreproachable and constant, tasting after tasting.
In 2013, the year of the 25th anniversary of La Belle Gueule, Les Brasseurs RJ inaugurated their brand new brewhouse at the cutting edge of brewing art. It was named the Van Gheluwe Room, in honour of the great Belgian brewer who developed the recipe for the Belle Gueule in 1988. It is an installation reflecting the quest for perfection of artisans who, over its history, have made La Belle Gueule a brand synonymous with excellence. For master brewers, brewing beers with exceptional taste, this, of course, takes hops and malt of the highest quality as well as the purest water available. Moreover, it also takes a lot of know-how. However, above all, it takes the best brewing technologies to ensure the best quality and irreproachable consistency.
This brewhouse was designed and installed by the German company Krones Steinecker, supplier of the world’s largest breweries. For Brasseurs RJ, this significant investment is above all a commitment to unwavering commitment to demanding consumers who are increasingly looking for unique and distinctive beers. Through this important investment, Brasseurs RJ reaffirmed their leadership, commitment and drive for innovation in a highly competitive market. This is a unique brewhouse in Quebec that places Les Brasseurs RJ among the most advanced microbreweries in America.
