About À l'abri de la Tempête

À l'abri de la Tempête is a brewery in L'Étang-du-Nord, on the Îles-de-la-Madeleine. It was started by two young women and brews beers that reflect the islands, drawing on the character of this windswept corner of the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

It suits travellers heading to the Magdalen Islands and beer fans curious about regional flavours. If you visit in summer, make it part of your island tour. Back on the mainland, keep an eye out for its bottles in specialty beer shops: they make a nice souvenir or gift for anyone who has fallen for the Îles.
