Canada, NB: Les Brasseurs du Petit-Sault launches in north-western New Brunswick

Les Brasseurs du Petit-Sault, a new brewery in the small francophone city of Edmundston in north-western New Brunswick, has officially launched with the release of one of its flagship brands, Canadian Beer News reported on July 15.

As announced recently on the brewery blog, Tante Blanche – a 4.7% abv Belgian-style wheat beer described as having “a delicately balanced nose hinting of citrus and coriander with a discreet spicy ending” – was put on tap at several bars and pubs in area on July 4th, and stubby bottles went on sale on July 14th at select ANBL locations, the Petit-Sault brewery store, and local licensed establishments.

Tante Blanche will soon be joined by a second core brand, Bob LeBoeuf, a 5.2% abv blond ale brewed with Saaz and Northern Brewer hops. Both beers are named after local legendary characters, as explained in an earlier Petit-Sault blog post.
