Laurentide

Molson's Quebec beer, launched 1962 (earliest advertisement found: Sherbrooke Daily Record, 8 February 1963). Sold as an ale in the 1970s, labelled beer by 1989; the recipe changed more than once. It faded from the market — around 2000 by one account, from 2012 by another — and was revived by Molson in 2015 for Montreal's 375th (120,000 cases) or in 2017 after a citizens' petition; the two accounts disagree and both are kept. Listed by Molson Coors in September 2026 as a blonde ale brewed in Quebec. The Canadian registration BIÈRE LAURENTIDE ALE & Design (TMA235134) was expunged on 6 March 2025 for failure to renew — the beer is on sale with its registration lapsed. The plant that brews it: UNKNOWN. Not the Laurentide Beer Company of Penn Yan, New York.
