Brasseurs, Bagosse, and Bootlegging in Edmundston, New Brunswick
A small city in New Brunswick has the best-kept secret when it comes to local brewing and historical prohibition tales.
Edmundston, New Brunswick, used to be known as Petit-Sault (Little Falls) because of its location near the rapids where the Madawaska River flows into the Saint John River. It has long been an important bootlegging hub, and its history is rooted in the people who manufacture alcoholic beverages—both past and present.
