BeerSaturday week 285 - Pilsner italienne (Boswell)
Here is my participation to the [**BeerSaturday 285**](https://peakd.com/hive-187719/@detlev/we-have-beersaturday-week-285). This week, I present you an Italian Pilsner from the [**Boswell**](https://brasserieboswell.com) brewery. And only thanks to this name, we dive into the history of beer in Quebec

> *Voici ma participation au [**BeerSaturday 285**](https://peakd.com/hive-187719/@detlev/we-have-beersaturday-week-285). Cette semaine, je vous présente une Pilsner italienne de la brasserie  de la brasserie [**Boswell**](https://brasserieboswell.com). Et seulement grâce à ce nom, on plonge dans l'histoire de la bière au Québec.*

Quebec is quite a huge province so I thought that a map could be useful to show you where the different breweries are located. The [**Boswell Brewery**](https://brasserieboswell.com) is located on Mont-Royal Street in Montreal, the perfect place to quench your thirst and eat.

> *Le Québec c'est assez grand comme province alors je me suis dit qu'une carte pourrait être utile pour vous montrer ou se trouvent les différentes brasseries présentées. La [**brasserie Boswell**](https://brasserieboswell.com) se trouve sur la rue Mont-Royal à Montréal, lieu parfait pour se désaltérer et manger.*

**📜 Brewery / *Brasserie*** :

<div class="pull-left">

The [**Boswell**](https://brasserieboswell.com) brewery was founded in 2015 by **Nicolas Paquet, Olivier Rhême and Philippe St-Cyr** on Mont-Royal Avenue in Montreal. This bar is really welcoming thanks to its beer selection and its food (very nice beef tartare, the last time I stopped by). The name **Boswell** was inspired by the old Quebec City brewery founded in 1844 by **Joseph Knight Boswell**. In the 1870's, it was the largest brewery in Quebec with 3,000,000 liters produced. But in 1965, it became famous but for the wrong reasons, the addition of a chemical product (cobalt sulfate) to have a nice foamy head killed about twenty people, especially the big consumers of **Dow**. The brewery never recovered from this blow and closed in 1973. So if you're served a Dow, be careful 😀.

> *La brasserie [**Boswell**](https://brasserieboswell.com) a été ouverte en 2015 par **Nicolas Paquet, Olivier Rhême et Philippe St-Cyr** sur l'avenue du Mont-Royal à Montréal. Ce bar de quartier est vraiment très accueillant grâce à sa sélection de bières et sa cuisine (très beau tartare de bœuf, la dernière fois que je suis passé). Le nom **Boswell** a été inspiré par l'ancienne brasserie de la ville de Québec fondée en 1844 par **Joseph Knight Boswell**. Dans les années 1870, elle est la plus grande brasserie du Québec avec 3,000,000 litres produits. Cent ans plus tard en 1965, elle devient célèbre mais pour de mauvaises raisons, l'ajout d'un produit chimique (du sulfate de cobalt) pour avoir un beau col de mousse plus longtemps tue une vingtaine de personnes, surtout les gros consommateurs de **Dow**. La brasserie ne se remettra jamais de ce coup dur et ferme en 1973. Alors si on vous sert un Dow faite attention.*

**🍺 Tasting / *Dégustation*** :

The **Italian Pilsner** is a pilsner (as the name suggests) with 5.2% and like the **Tangram Chat Botté** presented at the [BeerSaturday #279](https://peakd.com/hive-187719/@heroldius/beersaturday-week-279-tangram-puss-and-oshlag) it had an Italian twist. If you want to know more about **Italian Pilsner**, I recommend this excellent article [hopculture.com](https://www.hopculture.com/what-is-an-italian-pilsner/). But back to Boswell's version, this beer is very easy to drink with a light hoppy taste. Perfect for me, especially on hot summer days.

> *La **Pilsner italienne** est un pilsner (comme son nom l'indique) avec 5,2% et comme la **Chat Botté de Tangram** présentée lors du [BeerSaturday #279](https://peakd.com/hive-187719/@heroldius/beersaturday-week-279-chat-botte-tangram-and-rousse-oshlag) elle a un côté italien. Si vous voulez en savoir plus sur les Pilsner Italiennes, je vous conseille cet excellent article [hopculture.com](https://www.hopculture.com/what-is-an-italian-pilsner/). Mais revenons à la version de Boswell, cette bière est très facile à boire avec un léger gout houblonné. Parfait pour moi, surtout lors de chaudes journées d'été.*

![DSC01923.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/heroldius/23t7YkG7jT6Bxqzdj6d6rjKtEaxBf8bjcdh9jdKw12BeCMbfgpVB22uBVWR7uGj7gTeqE.JPG)

As for the design, it couldn't be simpler, a white bottle with the name of the brewery in big letters. Just the logo took the colors of the Italian flag. Simple but effective.

> *Niveau design, on ne peut faire faire plus simple, bouteille blanche avec le nom de la brasserie en grosses lettres en bas. Juste le logo a pris les couleurs du drapeau italien. Simple mais efficace.*

> **Lejeune & Frères**, Montreal 

And if one day you're in Montreal and you need a beer (or two), I recommend **Lejeune & Frères** at the corner of Duluth and Saint-Dominique (not far from Saint-Laurent boulevard), a store with a large selection of local beers but mostly with knowledgeable advisors. Perfect to make the right choice. If you are not a beer fan, there is also a nice selection of ciders and wines from Quebec.

> *Et si un jour vous êtes sur Montréal et vous avez besoin d'une (ou deux) bière, je vous conseille **Lejeune & Frères** au coin des rues Duluth et Saint-Dominique (pas très loin du boulevard Saint-Laurent), magasin avec une large sélection de bières locales mais surtout avec des conseillers qui s'y connaissent. Parfait pour faire le bon choix. Si vous n'êtes pas adeptes de la bière, il y a aussi une belle sélection de cidres et de vins du Québec.*

A bit scary is the history of the old brewery and the people who died because of the chemical they put in the Dow beer.

But Boswell brewery looks like a place worth visiting as well as Lejeune & Frères for what you mention. Hopefully, someday I will be able to visit Montreal.

At the time, there must not have been any quality assurance... so they add a chemical product and test it directly on the customers.
And if one day you pass by Montreal you'll tell me if you need some addresses.
Have a great monday.
