Brasserie Harricana

What Brasserie Harricana does

Brasserie Harricana is a privately held craft brewery and brewpub founded in 2014 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. The company operates a brewpub at 95 Jean-Talon Ouest in the Little Italy / Jean-Talon area and a separate production facility at 6800 Hutchison used for own-brand canning and third-party contract manufacturing of beverages including sodas, seltzers, energy drinks, and sparkling waters. Its core product is a diverse portfolio of on-site-brewed craft beers spanning classic styles (Pilsner, NEPA, Best Bitter, Hefeweizen, Altbier, Stout, IPA) alongside specialty and barrel-aged offerings, with the 7205 assemblage series developed through a dedicated chai (barrel-aging facility) established in 2017 that houses more than 60 barrels. The company also produces Harrietta Waters, a non-alcoholic alkaline mineralized water line in still and sparkling formats positioned as a 100% local, 100% recyclable offering.

The business generates revenue through four channels: (1) on-site food and beverage sales at the brewpub including draft beer, cocktails made with Quebec spirits (sourced via a partnership with Spiritueux Iberville), and a brasserie-style food menu; (2) retail distribution of canned and bottled beer to depanneurs, bars, and restaurants across Quebec; (3) keg sales to bars, restaurants, and event organizers; and (4) direct-to-consumer delivery via Uber. A secondary revenue stream comes from contract manufacturing services performed at the Hutchison facility for external beverage brands. Go-to-market is hybrid direct-to-consumer (on-site + Uber + retail) and channel-partner (Quebec retail distribution), targeting both individual consumers and SMB venue buyers.

The company employs approximately 25 people, is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, parent entity, or funding rounds, and operates exclusively within Quebec. The website functions as the primary information and commerce hub, supported by organic social media and direct email channels for reservations, wholesale, brewery, and kitchen inquiries.

Others

• Harricana (Outillage): Quebec-based local brand sharing the 'Harricana' namesake (named after the Harricana River region). While not a beverage peer, it represents the broader Quebec 'bu local' brand ecosystem and indicates consumer affinity for the regional Harricana identity.

Direct peers

• Dieu du Ciel!: One of Quebec's most prominent craft breweries, also operating brewpub locations in Montreal and producing a wide range of traditional and experimental styles including barrel-aged beers. Directly comparable as a Montreal-based craft brewery competing for the same consumer and retail accounts.
• Brewskey: Montreal-based craft brewery with brewpub service and retail canned distribution across Quebec, producing classic and contemporary beer styles. Highly comparable on production approach, GTM channels, and Quebec craft positioning.
• Pit Caribou: Quebec craft brewery with diverse beer portfolio and broad Quebec distribution, including on-site tasting rooms. Comparable on product breadth and Quebec-wide retail/wholesale channel strategy.
• Microbrasserie 4 Origines: Quebec craft brewery with on-site brewing and retail distribution, offering a varied portfolio of traditional styles. Comparable as a regional craft competitor sharing the same depanneur and on-premise channels.
• Le Cheval Blanc: Long-established Montreal brewpub and craft brewery in the Plateau/Jean-Talon area, producing on-site brewed beer with a comparable brewpub-and-distribution model. Overlaps directly on geography, channel mix, and customer base.

Regional players

• Le Trou du Diable: Well-regarded Quebec craft brewery based outside Montreal with broad provincial distribution and a brewpub operation. Comparable on craft brewing model and Quebec retail presence, though operating from a different regional hub.

Broad incumbents

• Sleeman Breweries: Major Canadian brewer with broad retail distribution across Quebec and Canada, including craft-adjacent brands. Comparable as a competitor for Quebec retail shelf space and tap handles, with vastly greater scale and trade marketing budgets.
