The early 1990s were years of great expansion for Quebec's first generation of microbrewers-GMT, Brasseurs du Nord, McAuslan, Brasal, and Unibroue. Between 1991 and 1994 they introduced twenty different beers representing fourteen different styles. Entering the 21st century, Quebec micro-brewers are producing more than seventy-five different beers under their own labels, representing more than twenty unique styles and substyles of lagers and ales. Raymond Beauchemin has gathered together, or created, dozens of delicious recipes that include these "real" Quebec beers as a main ingredient. Where Quebec beers are not available, the book includes a substitution chart that lists beers across Canada and the U.S. that can be used in the recipes.
