Beer lovers – this is for you!

As the old saying goes, “there’s no better time than now” to discover the distinct culture of downtown Montréal. And as some might argue, what better way to do that than with a beer in hand?

Good news – the Mondial de la bière is back! Founded in 1994 with the objective of highlighting the brewing industry in Québec, this annual celebration is now recognized as a major international beer festival in North America.

The 30th edition, from May 24-26, 2024, will take place at Windsor Station and Rio Tinto Courtyard. Throughout the 3-day festival, attendees are invited to relax on the sprawling terrasse, listen to music, exchange with beer experts – pint in hand – as they choose from more than 400 products (beers, spirits, ciders and food) in what is sure to be a lively atmosphere.

There are plenty of microbreweries from Quebec attending, adding some local flavour. The festival will run Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m., and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Various tickets are available for the event and the complete program can be found here.
