La Trappe a Fromage

February 25, 2006
This is a good place for fine food, and especially cheese. The beer selection is good, with Bièropholie/Chaudron, McCauslan, Unibroue, RJ, Lièvre, Saint-Arnould, Trois mousquetaires and Schoune. Prices are higher than Jovi and there is no foreign beer.

This is the best place in Outaouais. They got a great selection of cheese (my favorite cheese are le Douanier, le baluchon and the Guiness). They also got my favorite mustard (Moutarde à la Fin du Monde). I got this product at the Festival de la bière de Montréal, but I was surprise to see that La Trappe got this mustard. As for the beer, they got a phenomenal selection of Microbrasserie beer. My favorite are product from Unibroue, les Brasseurs RJ and la Brasseries les trois mousquetaires. On a negative point, this place is too small...at christmas time I waited 30 minutes in line and there were no place for people.

Had beers 6 packs from Schoune, Bieropholie, Unibroue, St Arnoud, and a few others. Some Schoune and La Lievre, and Unibroue singles, various Quebec ciders. Some beer cheeses and beer mustards. Small glassware selection.

There is a great selection of cheeses along with the regular Quebec micros in the region. I, however, very much appreciate the ciders they’ve made available: many of the more difficult Michel Jodoin bottles are displayed. The prices are slightly elevated (The same Quebec cheese, Le Chevre Noir, is cheaper in the Glebe [trendy Ottawa neighbourhood] than in its rightful province?).

This place is mainly a cheese store but you will find a great selection of beers at the back. All of Unibroue products are available (as well as limited edition package), St-Arnould, La Lièvre and Schoune. There is also a section with a great selection of glassware and beer books (all in French though). There are also a couple of regional ciders to choose from. Also, there are a couple of beer cheeses available (Chimay, Raclette Griffon). The staffs is now quite knowledgeable and very helpful. Now allows case split of most beers which is a plus.
