À la Léonne
À la Léonne Le Naufrageur microbrewery

À la Léonne with beer is delicate yet full of flavour—a surefire crowd-pleaser. Léonne beer, made by Carleton-based microbrewery Le Naufrageur, offers citrus notes that perfectly set off the blend of Fromagerie de l’Isle cheeses.

It’s ready to cook with no need for added ingredients: just grab your favourite fruits and veggies. We especially recommend green apple or pear (yum!).
