Brasseur de Montréal announced on Monday, July 13, 2026, that it will move its production facilities to a location outside the city of Montreal. The decision ends the brewery's long‑standing presence at its original Montreal site, where it has brewed since the company was founded.
The brewery, which has been identified as a local fixture, was established in Montreal and has operated its brewing operations within the city limits from its inception. Over the years, Brasseur de Montréal has built a reputation tied closely to its urban roots, supplying the local market from its downtown or nearby facilities.
The relocation will see the company's production shift beyond the municipal boundaries, although the exact destination has not been disclosed. No timeline for the move has been provided, and the statement did not include details about the scale of the new site or the impact on current staff.
By moving its brewing operations out of Montreal, Brasseur de Montréal will join a small number of local producers that have recently opted for facilities outside the city. The change marks a notable shift for a brand that has traditionally been associated with Montreal's craft beer scene. The company did not elaborate on the reasons behind the decision, leaving observers to note the significance of a historic local brewery relocating its manufacturing base.
The announcement was made early on Monday morning, and the brewery's public communications indicated that the move is intended to proceed in the coming months. While the shift may affect distribution and local employment, the company reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining its brand identity and continued presence in the Montreal market.
