Ruisseau de la Brasserie

Ruisseau de la Brasserie[1] (Also known in English as: Brewery Creek) is a small creek that forms the northern and western shores of Île Hull.

The former water works on a small island in the creek became the Théâtre de l'Île and the Montcalm Street Bridge was replaced by the ornate Tour Eiffel Bridge.

[citation needed] Not long after Wright's Town, Lower Canada was founded by Philemon Wright in 1800, a large brewery was built and began operations in 1813 on the banks of this creek.

It was located at the southeast corner of Columbia Farm that itself, had been cleared in 1811 and completed in 1823.

By 1828, 2 distilleries and 1 Brewery were operating in the Township of Hull and another distillery was operating just across the Gatineau River, at Tiberius Wright's Gatenoe Falls Farm in the Township of Templeton.

Ruisseau de la Brasserie flowing underneath Autoroute 5 and Autoroute 50 in Hull.
