MBC Chamonix Microbrewery, Canadian-style microbrewery and restaurant in Chamonix-Mont-Blanc, France.
MBC Chamonix is a Canadian-style microbrewery and restaurant that produces craft beers using pure glacier water sourced from the surrounding mountains. The interior features visible fermenting tanks and brewing vessels integrated throughout the dining area.
Four Canadian entrepreneurs founded the microbrewery in 2002, establishing it as the first craft beer producer in the Mont-Blanc region. This venture introduced a new brewing tradition to Chamonix.
The venue blends Canadian pub culture with French Alpine dining, bringing together house-made beers and international dishes in a casual setting. Visitors experience a mix of North American and local influences reflected in both the menu and decor.
The restaurant opens daily with extended hours on weekends and shorter evenings on weekdays, making it easy to visit at various times. Regular promotions on food and drinks reward guests who plan their visits accordingly.
The brewery produces several signature beers including Blonde de Chamonix in pilsner style and the bold Stout des Drus, each crafted with the pure glacier water. These house creations demonstrate how the founders transformed local mountain water into distinctive brews.
