McAuslan Brewing is a Canadian brewery opened in January 1989, and its headquarters located in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. After Moosehead Breweries Limited became a major (but not majority) shareholder, the brewery expanded into a new facility in 2002. McAuslan is still located on St-Ambroise street in the St-Henri borough and currently produces approximately 70,000 HL of beer annually.
In June 2008, Les Brasseurs RJ and La Brasserie McAuslan announced a business partnership specifically for sales, marketing and distribution of their respective brands both within Quebec and beyond.[1] In April 2013, Les Brasseurs RJ purchased full control of McAuslan, and McAuslan's founders left the company.[2]
The brewery hosts regular tours (every Wednesday) of its facility, as well as Centre St-Ambroise, a venue hosting concerts of local independent bands. During the summer months, Terrasse St-Ambroise is open behind the brewery on the Lachine Canal bike path near the Cote-St-Paul locks.
