Some of its craft beers available on tap being quite popular, in 1987 the establishment started a microbrewery of its own: La Brasserie Le Cheval Blanc, which is also said to be the city's first.^[2] In 1998, it merged with two other microbreweries Les Brasseurs GMT and Les Brasseurs de l'Anse to form Les Brasseurs RJ.

The Cheval's bottled beers most commonly available in Quebec's dépanneurs are:
La Blanche Cheval Blanc, traditional Belgian white, 5%^[3]
Coup de grisou, buckwheat amber ale, spiced with coriander, refermented, 5%

In 1999, the tavern was renovated and is now also a music venue and an art gallery.^[4]
