A. Lassonde Inc. / Vins et Cidrerie Arista (Craft Beer & Brewery in Rouville Regional County Municipality QC)

Lassonde Inc. / Vins et Cidrerie Arista sits in the Rouville Regional County Municipality of Québec, a place where the air smells of apples and ambition. Their cider range isn’t just a catalogue of bland “hard seltzers”; each batch is a miniature revolt against the ordinary, boasting flavours that make you wonder why anyone would settle for a supermarket pour. The tasting room itself is a historic gem—think polished wood, iron‑brace chandeliers, and the sort of ambience that makes you feel you’ve stumbled into a secret society of fermenters (the sort who actually enjoy a good chat about yeast).

The staff are the kind of people who could explain the nuances of a wild‑fermented batch to a complete novice without sounding like they’ve swallowed a thesaurus. They source ingredients from the local countryside, which means the apples, pears and berries have the same terroir as the surrounding fields, not some anonymous greenhouse. And just when you think you’ve tried everything, the menu shifts with the seasons, turning the experience into a perpetual tasting‑room roulette that never gets stale. In short, it’s craft, it’s character, and it’s an honest reminder that good cider can still surprise and delight.
