For more than two years now, the Auberge Sutton Brou\u00ebrie<\/a> has livened up Sutton\u2019s Main Street. Although the dining area is always very animated and its eight rooms are always occupied, it\u2019s for their excellent beer, concocted by Patrick Roy, the friendly master brewer, that locals and tourists alike, come to the brewery in such great numbers.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After having spent five years learning his trade at Brasserie Dunham<\/a>, Patrick took quite a gamble, however, when he started brewing his beers in Sutton: he decided to only use Brettanomyces wild yeast\u2014a.k.a. Bretts. His brewing friends thought he was crazy and didn\u2019t believe he would pull it off at first, but he actually managed to succeed and turn a profit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cYou won\u2019t find any other breweries in Quebec\u2014and perhaps even in Canada\u2014who produce beers that are 100% Brett,\u201d Pat explains with enthusiasm. \u201cBrett yeast is believed to be less stable than the saccharomyces used by most brewers. I wanted to prove the opposite and I think I\u2019ve managed to develop my own signature: dry, \u2018clean\u2019 beers that will please a very diversified clientele such as ours. I brew recipes that resemble well-known styles, but my yeast comes in at the end to give our brew its character. For instance, my Saison<\/em> beer is very much a Saison<\/em>, yet it gives off a slightly fruitier and acidic taste compared to other beers in the same category.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Patrick, took on the challenge and seems to have succeeded. In fact, today, he\u2019s even unable to meet the growing demands of beer enthusiasts avid for his creations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you want to taste all our products, you\u2019ll have to come to Sutton, since our beers are not all bottled,\u201d says the man who considers himself a true intuitive brewer. \u201cThere are only 25 outlets throughout Quebec, that sell our bottled beer and I can\u2019t meet all their demands! I\u2019ve got 30 more on a waiting list!\u201d<\/p>\n

For all these reasons, the Auberge Sutton Brou\u00ebrie will soon expand their brewing space and add three more double tanks, allowing them to double their brewing capacity.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Bottling the Region<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although the products used to prepare the Auberge\u2019s 90-seat restaurant mainly come from the area, Patrick hopes to add even more local colours and flavours to those he already uses to brew his beers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m currently using lab-made Bretts, but I\u2019d love to eventually find some in the area, in many surrounding orchards, for instance. I\u2019m sure if I placed a few Petri dishes in fields here and there, I\u2019d find wild Bretts,\u201d notes Pat. \u201cI\u2019m also working on a new beer made with yarrow, a bitter-tasting plant that grows around here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Grisette de la Marmite, the Session Ab\u00e9naki, the Brune Alpine: the names of the beers brewed at the Auberge Sutton Brou\u00ebrie all possess a meaning that is tied to the region\u2019s history. It\u2019s a decision that goes far beyond a marketing strategy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cVillage Microbreweries have sort of become our new church steps,\u201d Pat reflects. \u201cIt\u2019s where people living in the surrounding area come together to chat and we\u2019d like our products to be representative of the region and to tell its stories.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is a nice philosophy that Patrick Roy shares with his two partners \u00c9lise Bourduas and Martin Surprenant.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
