Two seasoned entrepreneurs<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicolas and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric Calv\u00e9 are two brothers who discovered a shared passion for craft beer-making a few years ago, working out of their garage. Their initial goal: to experiment by producing beers that represent them. Aged 39 and 40 respectively, Nicolas and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric invested in the equipment, and have both completed their master brewer courses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicolas, for his part, is renowned for the excellence of his work and his attention to detail. In everything he does, he is constantly striving for perfection, a quality prized by master brewers. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric, for his part, has an incredible concern for others, where the customer experience is at the very heart of his preoccupations. Once again, this is a fundamental requirement for sound customer service management. Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric will also be in charge of the catering side of things, being an outstanding cook.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having been in business together for 7 years in the renovation industry, they understand the challenges of running a business and managing customers. What's more, having both had a pied-\u00e0-terre on the shores of Lac Taureau for several years, it's in this city that they wish to develop this new entrepreneurial adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Life is good in Haute-Matawinie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The municipality of Saint-Michel-des-Saints is located in the heart of a popular tourist region, both in summer and winter. Praised as a prime location for water sports and winter sports enthusiasts, Haute-Matawinie is the ideal place for outdoor enthusiasts. Located at the northern end of Route 131 and on the shores of the gigantic Lac Taureau, the arrival of the microbrewery is a breath of fresh air and immeasurable dynamism in the municipality. When you consider the impressive number of cottagers and tourists who come here for a day or a year, not to mention the 2,400 people who live here permanently, the new company will have the wind in its sails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saint-Michel-des-Saints X LANAUBI\u00c8RE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the Microbrasserie du Taureau<\/em>The municipality of Saint-Michel-des-Saints will be added to the Quebec microbrewery route and will henceforth be part of the Lanaudi\u00e8re beer route, more commonly known as the \"Route des bi\u00e8res de Lanaudi\u00e8re\", Lanaubi\u00e8re.<\/em> It currently includes 15 Lanaudi\u00e8re microbreweries that have decided to join forces to create a brewing force in the region.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

A beer that reflects the region<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are currently 6 beers brewed on site, including a Blonde, a Blanche, an IPA, a NEPA, a Stout and a Schothale. Discover Taurus<\/em>a beer named after the immense lake covering more than 95 square kilometers that lies within the municipality of Saint-Michel-des-Saints. A sense of belonging, a distinctive representation, an ingenious branding strategy or a powerful symbol: the new beer is sure to unite all hop lovers and enthusiasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the help of SADC Matawinie, the company was able to purchase specialized equipment for the brewing, milling, fermentation, cooling and control systems. These will enable the company to produce up to 120,000 liters of beer per year, thanks to tanks that can hold just over 800 liters at a time, at an average of 5,000 liters of beer every two weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrival of this new project will also create 4 full-time and 4 part-time jobs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The microbrewery is located at 862 rue Brassard, in Saint-Michel-des-Saints. Check out their Facebook page for opening hours and add this destination to your outings!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SADC Matawinie is proud to have supported Nicolas and Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric in the launch and start-up of their company, providing guidance and financial support via its Investment Fund.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
