Messorem Tap Takeover

After many years of trying to arrange an event, we are thrilled to finally invite you to a tap takeover with Montréal’s excellent Messorem Bracitorium, one of the most in-demand and beloved new breweries in Canada, on Thursday, March 23.

We will have eleven beers on tap and ten in cans, with a total of fifteen different beers on offer.

Messorem is a craft brewery project created by three friends — Marc-André Filion, Sébastien Chaput and Vincent Ménard — and opened in 2019 in the south-west of Montréal, Quebec, Canada.

All three are beer aficionados, with Ménard bringing technical skills with a brewing degree, an internship at the exceedingly popular brewery Auval (whose beers you may have already tried at MH before!) and professional brewing experience at Les Trois Mousquetaires.

The group met in the early 2000s Montreal underground metal music scene, and each member has distinct strengths that together can be linked with the creation of a brewing company, a passion that has inhabited them for several years. For them, Messorem Bracitorium is a way to bridge the gap between their hobby (beer) and everyday work with friends.

The name translates (from Latin) to “the Grim Reaper’s brewery” — “Messorem” is a Latin word meaning ‘reaper’, ‘mower’, ‘harvester’, and “Bracitorium” is for ‘brewery’.

Messorem specialize in hoppy and sour beers, with a new barrel-aging program taking place. Beers are brewed to strict criteria, and the taste, mouthfeel and appearance of Messorem’s beers are very precise.

We look forward to sharing them with you!
