Archibald Matante Ale Blonde Beer

Archibald Matante Ale Blonde

Brand Origin and History
Archibald Microbrasserie was founded in 2005 in Lac-Beauport, Quebec, Canada, by François Nolin. Originally established as a brewpub combining craft brewing with restaurant hospitality, Archibald gained rapid popularity across the province of Quebec for its distinctively branded beers showcasing stylized, humorous characters such as Matante, La Joufflue, and La Chipie.

Ownership and Corporate Evolution
In 2016, Labatt Breweries of Canada, a subsidiary of the global brewing conglomerate Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev), acquired Archibald Microbrasserie. While the original brewpub locations operated separately, Archibald's brewing, packaging, and retail distribution operations came under the ownership of Labatt and AB InBev, which is headquartered in Leuven, Belgium.

Manufacturing and Distribution
Archibald Matante Ale Blonde is brewed and packaged in Canada, primarily at Archibald facilities in Quebec or affiliated Labatt brewing facilities in Canada, maintaining broad distribution across retail stores and grocery outlets throughout Quebec and other Canadian markets.
