To your gardens!
You've read "How do I start my first vegetable garden?" and you're ready to get your hands [...].
At last, the summer season is upon us, with its warm sunshine! Makes you thirsty, doesn't it? To enhance your lunches, dinners and barbecues, we invite you to discover wines and beers from local microbreweries. Enjoy them with your significant other after a long day, or reunite with friends and family! Here are the top 5 from the Tourisme Laval team.
Pink bubbles and cider from Château Taillefer Lafon
Top 1 - Sparkling rosé, méthode champenoise
This sparkling wine is undoubtedly one of the signature wines of Laval's only vineyard, Château Taillefer Lafon. Château Taillefer Lafon. Perfect for celebrating the arrival of the weekend, the start of the vacations or even a romantic evening, this rosé sparkling wine has a pleasant liveliness and a fairly persistent finish. You'll be asking for more!
Top 2 - Frisson en bulles
Prefer sparkling cider? Try Frisson en bulles, a top-of-the-range cider that's perfect for evenings out with friends and barbecues. Enjoy!
Insulaires Microbrasseurs' favorite beers
After working in your flowerbeds at home, or to unwind after a long day at the office, we offer you two Laval beers brewed on site at the Insulaires Microbrasseurs Éden and Bochka Vishnya.
Top 3 - Bikini Island
A classic American terrace IPA, 6%.
Top 4 - La Double Dérive, IPA DDH (Citra, Mosaic and Simcoe) 8%.
A generously hopped version even juicier and hazier than the original. A real tropical fruit bomb, which remains very "pintable" despite its high alcohol content!
Whatever your preferences and tastes, you'll be won over by these festive flavors! (and there's more, oh joy!)
A beer made from bread crumbs? La Bête à pain's great idea!
Top 5 - Miettes, Hefeweizne bread beer brewed in Quebec
Recovered bread transformed into Hefeweizen beer - what ingenuity! Miettes was conceived thanks to the team spirit and shared values of the Oshlag microbrewery and Bête à Pain. Bête à Painwho advocate a local vision, authentic products and the pleasure of innovation. This Quebec craft beer is brewed according to the criteria of Hefeweizen, a wheat beer from southern Germany. Miettes is a white beer with aromas of bananas, cloves, cinnamon and toast. Exotic and original, isn't it?
