About Association des microbrasseries du Québec (AMBQ)
Founded in 1990, the Association des microbrasseries du Québec (AMBQ) emerged as a response to the growing need for a unified voice among Quebec’s craft breweries. At a time when the microbrewery movement was still in its infancy, a small group of brewers recognized that collective action could help them navigate regulatory challenges, improve their business environment, and promote their products more effectively. Over the past three decades, the AMBQ has evolved from a grassroots network into the province’s leading non-profit organization representing the interests of microbreweries across Quebec, Canada.
