La Souche - Microbrasserie & Restaurant (Stoneham) (Craft Beer & Brewery in La Jacques-Cartier QC)

La Souche Stoneham is a microbrewery and restaurant that fancies itself a bridge between Québec’s wild scenery and the kitchen counter. Their menu is a lesson in “farm‑to‑glass” (the garden behind the bar is genuinely pesticide‑free, so you can actually taste the dirt if you’re feeling adventurous). The beer list reads like a catalogue of curiosity—each brew is a distinct experiment, yet all share the same meticulous craftsmanship that makes you wonder why every other place settles for the same stale lagers.

The building’s lofty ceiling does wonders for the atmosphere, trapping the faint aroma of hops and fresh‑cut herbs while keeping the space warm enough for a Sunday brunch surrounded by the occasional bird call. After a day on the slopes, you can slurp a battered, perfectly crisp fish‑and‑chips without feeling guilty, thanks to a well‑received vegan menu that proves “veggie” doesn’t have to mean “boring”.

When autumn turns the forest gold, the annual Sugar Shack Party swings in, drenching the place in maple‑syrup folklore and turning the patio into a snug outdoor lounge. In short, La Souche offers a playful yet earnest celebration of local produce, solid beer, and a setting that feels intentionally unpretentious.
