University students brew beer

Students at Université de Montréal have been testing out a new brew made of local organic ingredients harvested from their own campus, reports CBC.

“We want to promote the products of our campus,” said Pascal Prouteau, the university’s director of housing, hospitality and restauration.

The beer is made at the Brasserie Onzes Comptés in Cookshire-Eaton, Que., using honey from the campus’ beehives and hops grown on the mountain.

“We wanted to have a very special beer with the identity of the mountain,” Prouteau told CBC’s Let’s Go. “Everything is organic because you can’t have pesticides on the mountain. So this is a guarantee for us.”

Following in that spirit, the amber-blonde ale is named Sur la montagne (On the mountain).
