Robin Natural Beer
Robin Bière Naturelle is a family-run craft brewery located in Waterloo, in the heart of the Eastern Townships, founded in 2017 after more than ten years of homebrewing.
They have chosen to support the local economy by collaborating with local producers, sharing their unique creations in their tasting room. Specializing in mixed-fermentation beers matured in barrels, Robin Bière Naturelle takes the time to develop complex aromatic profiles that reveal themselves after 3 to 24 months of maturation, followed by 6 to 8 weeks of refermentation in bottles.
Their winery is at the heart of their business model, where every sip becomes a sensory experience. They prioritize local and seasonal ingredients, which has led to some inspiring collaborations!
