MONTREAL, June 4, 2025 – North America’s largest international beer festival, the Mondial de la bière, is celebrating its 31st edition from June 20 to 22 in Montreal. Back at the Windsor Station – Rio Tinto Courtyard, the Mondial de la bière will showcase breweries, distilleries, wineries and cideries from Canada, Italy, Belgium, and more.
Following last year’s huge success where over 37,600 visitors from near and far attended, this year’s edition is equally promising. Beer, spirits, wine, fine foods, and non-alcoholic products – the Mondial de la bière is a must visit. In total, more than 80 breweries from Quebec and beyond will be represented, offering more than 400 local and imported beers for tasting. On the food side: charcuterie, pizza, Argentine grills, fries, poutine, waffles, and other sweet and savoury delights.
Since its debut in 1994, the Mondial de la bière has welcomed more than 2.2 million visitors over 171 days of activities, 2,753 breweries from Canada and around the world, 560 food exhibitors, cideries, meaderies, distilleries, and industry representatives, generating sales of over 14 million dollars. This international festival takes place over three days in a 72,000 ft2 indoor and outdoor space.
The Mondial will delight beer and fine food enthusiasts alike. Breweries, a gourmet area packed with local and international treats, a family zone, and a stage for presentations, entertainment, and music await local, national, and international visitors.“We are happy and proud to welcome our local brewers and European artisans to our 2025 edition,” says Jeannine Marois, Co-Founder and President of the Mondial de la bière.
This year, the Mondial places special emphasis on imports from Italy. Seven Italian breweries will present over 30 beers, 14 of which will be available for purchase on the IP SAQ online store. This is a great innovation, as visitors will be able to buy individual bottles of some of these exceptional beers.
