Are you old enough to drink alcohol?
We’ve chosen the name Menaud to pay tribute to Félix-Antoine Savard’s 1937 book titled “Menaud, maître-draveur”.

We always aspire to use more ingredients from Charlevoix in our spirits and to only make products in line with what botanicals are available in our area. We’re proud to say that most of the ingredients we use come from right here in Charlevoix and elsewhere in Quebec. When it comes to beer, the process of only using local ingredients is a bit trickier. Especially when it comes to primary ingredients such as yeast and hops. That’s why we strive to showcase at least one local ingredient in each beer.
Absolutely! Our indoor room and terrace are open for tastings.
We do not take any reservations no matter the size of your party.
You can book before or after our opening hours, during the low season. Write to info@menaud.ca for more details.
You can purchase all our products, as well as a few exclusive ones, at our distillery and brewery.
We do not offer guided tours of our facilities. However, you can taste our spirits and beers on site (at the bar or terrace) and/or purchase products to go.
We do not serve food on site.
You can bring your kids with you.
Dogs are allowed on the terrace but not inside the building.
Our stills are the same shape as our bottles. They were designed by Olivier Raymond and made on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
We purchase all our grains directly from the Harvey family on Isle-aux-Coudres.
Currently, our neutral alcohol is only used to produce our own spirits. Because of the quantities we use, we cannot sell any to other distilleries for now.
We recommend drinking them neat or on the rocks to start. Then you can add a bit of sparkling water. If you’re looking for inspiration, check out our recipes in the Cocktails section of our website.
We recommend keeping the bottles in a cool, dark room. That way the liquid’s taste won’t change over time. But we know our bottles are quite the showpiece so you can place them wherever you want as long as they are not exposed to direct light.
None of our spirits contain gluten or lactose. However, because our grains are ground in our production facilities, we cannot guarantee that there has not been any cross-contamination. If you would like to find out more, please check the list of ingredients on each product page. All our beers contain gluten while some of them also contain lactose. Please check the list of ingredients on each product page.
Yes, you can fill it on site.
You can purchase a keg of your favourite beer at our brewery. We will also require a deposit.
Absolutely! Write to us at info@menaud.ca for more information about our cask society.
Because we produce our spirits and beers with grains, fruit, yeast, etc., they may contain sediments. All of us at Menaud love sediments. They’re a natural part of the process.
You can sign up for our newsletter (at the bottom of the page) to make sure you receive all the latest information about our projects and product launches. You can also follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
Our Maria and Génépi gins are only available for purchase at our Charlevoix distillery. Quantities are limited because the botanicals we use to make these spirits are rare.

By-products are created when we produce spirits and beer. The spent grains are sent to local farmers, including La Ferme des Quatre-Temps and La ferme Éboulmontaise. We also try to limit our use of packaging from non-renewable resources such as plastic. Furthermore, the cardboard we use for our packaging is mostly made from recycled material. Finally, we’ve created an initiative to reduce our use of glass. It is also possible to purchase gin refills in an aluminum can.
Our spirit bottles are not refundable, but you can place them in your recycling bin or even use them as a vase or water carafe. You can also keep them for a refill. Beer cans and bottles are all recyclable or refundable.
Our name is an homage to a book titled “Menaud, maître-draveur” (Menaud, log driver), written by Félix-Antoine Savard and published in 1937. Mr. Savard was also the founding priest of the Clermont parish who believed we were all born to create. He thought that only the brave could embrace nature and all its majesty, that craftsmen knew how to respect the land and that they were in the best position to advocate for its conservation. He also believed that it is only through generosity that these individuals can achieve their own sense of independence and freedom.
At Menaud, we are committed to perpetuating a legacy of know-how while paying tribute to the product itself. Inspired by our master brewers and their desire to always innovate, we are proud to offer you exceptional products that represent the fruit of this labour. As the first distillery-microbrewery in the Charlevoix region, we want to share our passion with you, and we want to serve as a guide for artisans and amateurs alike.
