Marc-André Gauvreau has always dreamed of making his own beer, but he never thought he'd be making beer that fights climate change! But that's exactly what he's managed to do in his small business.

Fondée il y a cinq ans par Denise Mérineau et Marc-André Gauvreau, partenaires en aaires et dans la vie, Brasseurs de Montréal est une microbrasserie- restaurant de Grintown, en pleine expansion pour accueillir les futurs résidents du quartier. Ellio a rencontré Marc-André pour en savoir plus...
