Brewing Better Beer:

The Story of St-Ambroise and the Birth of Quebec Craft Brewing

Brewing Better Beer is not a "how to book", but the story of Peter McAuslan and Ellen Bounsall, how they built a successful craft brewery in Montreal and ran it for 25 years, changing the course of the brewing industry. The ups and downs of the business, the challenge of partnerships and exhilarating moments are vividly portrayed, as are the joys of creating world-class beer and reinventing classic beer styles forgotten by contemporary brewers. Colourful characters the couple engaged with create a tapestry to an ever changing background. References to historical events of their times and the past shaped the author's awareness of how their brewing adventures fit into the Quebec and broader panorama of brewing history.
