In 2007, three engineers who met at the \u00c9cole de technologie sup\u00e9rieure (ETS) in Montr\u00e9al had a crazy idea to launch a western microbrewery in cowboy country, home of one of the founders, Pierre-Paul Carpentier. \u00c0 la F\u00fbt was born from a passion for beer, entrepreneurship and a common desire to settle in a rural area.

Work Cooperative chosen for the values<\/h3>\n

The cooperative is naturally chosen as a modus operandi by the founders, because it sticks to their social and entrepreneurial values. They value ethics based on honesty, transparency, social responsibility and altruism.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most important cellars in Qu\u00e9bec<\/h3>\n

\u00c0 la F\u00fbt also has a cellar composed of over 516 barrels and has become a master in the art of assembling its exceptional beers.
