What Collectif Brassicole Ensemble Inc. does

Collectif Brassicole Ensemble Inc. is a Quebec-based cooperative collective founded in 2016 that brings together four independent artisan breweries — Boldwin, Des Cantons, La Memphré, and Brasserie Générale — under a single operating entity headquartered in Boucherville. The collective produces certified-organic craft beer drawing on local ingredient sourcing and circular-economy practices, aggregating more than 50 beer varieties from its member brands under one shared commercial umbrella. Its production facility at 1500-F Rue Nobel serves simultaneously as a manufacturing site and a tasting boutique open to walk-in consumers and prospective B2B customers.

The company's core commercial offering is a custom private-label beer service marketed as 'Bière à ton image' (beer to your image), which enables businesses, event organizers, and non-profits to order branded craft beer in 473 ml cans with a minimum order of 10 cases and an approximately four-week production lead time. The service follows a guided three-step process — beer selection (with on-site tasting), label design (templates or bespoke), and production — sold exclusively through direct inquiry, phone, and email on a quote-based, per-project basis. The collective also sells its own branded craft beers directly through the Boucherville boutique to individual consumers.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: one-time project fees for custom-branded beer production for B2B clients, and direct retail-style sales of the collective's house craft beers to consumers. Customer acquisition relies on a single-channel approach: the collectifensemble.com website and direct contact, with named showcase customers including charter airline Nolinor, contemporary-arts non-profit Artch, and architecture firm Groupe API. The business is privately held by its member artisan brewers, has no disclosed institutional funding, no app, no API, and operates only within the Quebec market.
