McAuslan Brewing has brewed on rue Saint-Ambroise in Montréal's Saint-Henri district since January 1989, when Peter McAuslan and Ellen Bounsall launched the St-Ambroise Pale Ale that still anchors the range. The house works in the ale traditions of the British Isles, fermenting in open tanks with a Yorkshire yeast, and sorts its beers into five series alongside newer non-alcoholic and gluten-free lines. Ownership passed to Les Brasseurs RJ in 2013, and a cidery and a distillery have since been added on the same site.

Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.

How they compare
Each beer measured against others of its own style, then averaged across the range. Compared with the wider catalogue across breweries making similar styles.

Across 28 beers in 7 style families, none of McAuslan Brewing's characters carry through the whole range — the mix of styles they brew is the signature here.
