Description
La Brasserie Artisanale BENELUX a été fondé en 2006, sur la rue Sherbrooke près de ce qui allait devenir le Quartier des Spectacles à Montréal.
Une deuxième succursale Brasserie Artisanale BENELUX a ensuite ouvert sur la rue Wellington à Verdun en 2013, devenant le premier bar et brasserie de cet arrondissement en 140 ans.
Un autre petit site de production a ouvert peu après dans Pointe-St-Charles (3810 rue St-Patrick, dans les anciens locaux de Brasseurs Sans Gluten) sous le nom de "Brasserie du Canal" et servait à complémer l'offre des deux succursales ainsi que de produire quelques produits embouteillés pour la vente extérieure.
La Brasserie du Canal a depuis été déménagée dans leur nouvelle Microbrasserie BENELUX à Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu (anciens locaux de Lagabière) où l'encannettage de leurs produits est effectuée depuis sous le nom BENELUX - Bières & Pubs.

Draft: Poured a light copper color ale with a small foamy head. Aroma of medium caramelized sugar is OK though not as complex as I would have hoped. Taste is dominated by some caramelized sugar with limited number of other characteristics (no notes of dry fruits or toffee were noticeable). Body is definitely a bit light for style with no apparent alcohol. Lacking complexity and not the best from this brewer.

Draft: Poured a beige color ale with a small foamy head with good retention. Aroma consists of light fruity ester and subtle peppery yeast with a semi sweet malt base. Taste is a bit disappointing (probably somewhat due to the fact that I had this right after their Ergot) with light peppery yeast notes and even subtler fruity ester with an OK malt backbone. Body is about average with good carbonation and no apparent alcohol. OK but not as par as some of the staple of the style.

Draft: Poured a light hazy beige color ale with a medium size foamy head with light lacing notes. Aroma is nice complex mix between light fruity ester with indigenous yeast and some semi-sweet Belgian style malt notes. Taste is a nice mix between some lightly funky yeast with notes of fruity ester and a semi-sweet solid Belgian-style malt backbone with an herbal finish. Body is maybe a bit light for style with no apparent alcohol. Definitely one of the best beer I tried while I was there.
