Belgh Brasse is a brewery currently based in Laval, Quebec. It was formerly located in Amos in the Abitibi region of Northwestern Quebec, Canada.
The business was founded in 1999 by Jean-Louis Marcoux, a Belgian brewmaster, in Amos, Quebec. At the beginning, the business was selling the beer "8". In 2004, Jean-Louis Marcoux, a devoted entrepreneur and beer brewing passionate, brought together some private investors to grow the brewery.
In 2007 the business was purchased by Groupe Geloso.
In 2011 Belgh Brasse launched a new product, the beer Mons.
Following a fire at its Amos location in 2017, the business was relocated to the premises of Groupe Geloso in Laval, Quebec in 2019.
<big>8</big>
Their first product was called "8", a Belgian-style bottle-fermenting beer. This beer is not on the market anymore.
<big>Taïga</big>
Their second product was the Taïga, a golden ale launched at Christmas 2004. The water for this beer was taken from a local esker; the high quality of this water was one of the reasons for the beer's success. This beer is no longer on the market.
<big>Mons</big>
An abbey ale line is called Mons. This is a product line of three abbey ale inspired beers. They have a white beer (Abbey Witte), a blonde beer (Abbey Blonde), a dubell (Abbey Dubbel) and a Quadruppel (Abbey Quadruppel). The name Mons is inspired by the city of Mons, where Jean-Louis Marcoux, the brewmaster was born. This beer already has success in United States and in Canada.

This is a line of beers the brewer says is inspired by the music and poetry of Raôul Duguay. These each have a boreal forest animal on the label. The original three released were a Pale Ale (Moose); Blond Lager (Bear); and Kristall Witte (Wolf). Subsequently, three more were added: an India Pale Ale (Arctic Hare); Red Ale (Fox); and Pilsner (Beaver). By 2022, a White Beer (Owl) was added.
