The Mondial de la bière is pleased to announce that its event will be
back, October 7 to 10, 2021 in the Rio Tinto Courtyard – Gare Windsor de Montréal! Due to covid
requirements, the 27th edition of this rendezvous, essential for all beer lovers, will be held entirely
outside and will consist of several sessions, each three hours in length.
Beers for all tastes, beer experts to meet, all in a festive atmosphere!
Over four days, attendants will find close to 100 different beers on the site and will be able to satisfy their
cravings with snack foods available on site (cheese, cold cuts, pretzels, nuts, malt crackers, sandwiches,
etc.). A mini brunch will also be proposed on Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and on Sunday, at the 10:00 a.m. and
1:30 p.m. sessions.
Visitors will have access to two covered areas (marquees and umbrellas), the latter which is equipped
with patio heaters. Participants will be invited to choose a table for 4 in their preferred area (depending
on the session, DJ or World music Zone and/or Beer Expert Zone). The breweries’ representatives and the
Mondial de la bière’s experts will go around the Expert Zone to discuss with tasters who wish to learn
more about beer.
An accessible and safe event
Four packages will be offered this fall. The first includes 20 tasting coupons and one vintage glass, all for
$30 per person (plus charge and tax). For $20 more, the second package includes 20 more coupons. The
third package, at a cost of $40 includes 20 tasting coupons and one Mondial de la bière’s 27th edition
collectible glass. Finally, for an extra $20, the fourth package offers 20 more coupons. Extra virtual
coupons will be sold online and on site. The 4 ounces (125 ml) tastings will require between 3 to 7 virtual
coupons, depending on the type of beer.
In order to participate in a 3-hour tasting session, each visitor will need to purchase online, in advance,
one of the four packages, then choose a table, give their name, phone number and e-mail address for the
visitor logbook.
To comply with the current covid requirements, participants will also have to present their COVID-19
vaccination passport and one piece of photo identification to be admitted on the site. There will be a
maximum of 450 visitors per session and all the usual precautions will be taken (wearing a mask to move
