About Pit Caribou

Pit Caribou is a brewery from L'Anse-à-Beaufils, in Percé, on the Gaspésie coast. Since 2007 it has brewed beers with a strong sense of place, and it is famous for La Gaspésienne No. 13, a dark, rich stout.

Craft beer fans in Montreal can look for its bottles at specialty beer stores. A stout like La Gaspésienne pairs well with a cold winter evening, a hearty stew or a piece of dark chocolate. If you road trip around the Gaspé Peninsula in summer, it is a nice way to taste the region where it all began.
