Billed as one of the most important festivals of international beers in North America and Montreal’s first great festival of the summer, Mondial de la Bière’s 16th annual festival in Québec drew over 80,000 people from June 3-7. There were 450 beers and ciders to sample, of which 197 were brand new. There are two competitions at Mondial: the favorites of the public and a judged event.
