During my last holidays in Québec, I drank mostly beers that I knew already, beers that I had missed far from home. That said, I was feeling guilty of not trying new products, so a few days before our departure I bought a couple of local products. I made a few pleasant dicsoveries. Maybe my favourite was the Smelting, from regional microbrewery BR77. So regional and so new that it barely has anything on their website and no English version. I bought it because it is a red ale and I love red ales and, I must confess, because I really liked the label with its train on it. I don't judge a beer by its label, but the steam train on this one is a nice homage to a bygone era when Chicoutimi had a proper railway system. Anyway, the Smelting will be back on the drinking menu for my next visit.
