McAuslan Brewing is one of Quebec's best known and most successful microbreweries. We are thrilled to announce its star beer, St Ambroise, is the Official Beer of Possible Worlds 2011!
Established in January of 1989, on St-Ambroise Street in Montreal's St-Henri district, the brewery launched its first beer in February 1989. St-Ambroise Pale Ale was an immediate success. Its distinctive hoppy-ness and clear reddish hue set it apart and gained it an instant following.
Each McAuslan beer is lovingly nurtured and brewed without compromise from only from the best available ingredients. This care and attention to detail has earned McAuslan a place in the heart of many a beer aficionado worldwide.
St-Ambroise Pale Ale is the brewery's flagship beer. It is a hoppy, amber, full-flavoured ale. In the definitive Great Beer Guide, beer critic Michael Jackson described it in the following way: "very perfumy, outstandingly hoppy in aroma and flavor, dry and appetizing. It has a light, soft body, but full, long flavors, developing lemony-orangey notes, and an elegant dryness in the finish.
Once only produced as a seasonal brand, St-Ambroise Apricot Wheat Ale, meanwhile, is a light-bodied wheat beer flavoured with apricots. Pale gold in colour with the taste experience of an aromatic, quenching drink offering a balance of flavourful wheat beer character with a dry, prominent, apricot finish. Enjoyed by both the discerning beer drinker and those who prefer fruity, less traditional beverages and beers.
