Livingstone Brewing sits atop Covey Hill in Franklin, Québec, where a family‑run farm supplies the very hops, barley and even potatoes that find their way into every cask. The result is a line‑up that feels both home‑grown and daring – an Irish Potato Stout that makes you wonder why anyone ever thought stout should be limited to chocolate and coffee, and a Grapefruit Belgian Blanche that punches you with citrus without turning into a sugary soda.
The brewery’s historic barn offers more than just a roof over the taps; it frames sweeping countryside views while live music drifts across the green fields. Patrons can linger on the outdoor lawn, watching the sky change while sipping low‑alcohol brews that never compromise flavour. Their fruit beers earn praise for being genuinely fruity yet decidedly unsweetened, and the smoked ale provides a smoky mystery that keeps the palate guessing (the founders, who had worked together for years, decided that a hint of wood smoke was the perfect counterpoint to their farm freshness).
In short, Livingstone blends centuries‑old techniques with inventive twists, delivering craft beer that feels as honest as a farmer’s handshake and as exciting as a sudden summer storm over the fields.
Livingstone Brewing offers a welcoming atmosphere, complete with large outdoor spaces and beautiful surroundings, ideal for those seeking a relaxed experience amidst nature. The brewery's beer selection is praised for its quality and unique offerings, including low-alcohol brews.
