Montreal’s first great festival of the summer, the Mondial de la bière is a unique tasting event dedicated to the reinstatement of beer’s noble status. Founded in 1994, the Mondial de la bière is considered to be a gateway to the Québec and foreign beer industry. The professional MBeer segment, which began in 2005 with the MBeerconference, is enriched by the visit of international beer celebrities who contribute to its reputation.

Right from the very first year, the competition was a smashing success. La Ronde was filled to capacity on the evenings when fireworks presentations were scheduled, and the city of Montréal witnessed unprecedented levels of crowd movement. More than 5.7 million people attended the displays during that first season, setting a record in Canada for this type of event.
