About La Barberie

La Barberie is a worker-owned cooperative brewery in Saint-Roch, Québec City, founded in 1997. It brews a wide range of beers and also makes the non-alcoholic Placebo line, for people who want the taste of craft beer without the alcohol. The co-op model means the people who brew the beer also own the business.

La Barberie suits craft beer fans, groups of friends and anyone exploring the lively Saint-Roch neighbourhood. On a warm day, its terrace is a pleasant place to sample a few beers. Placebo is a handy choice for designated drivers or a weeknight with friends.
