Résumé

The ingredients used in making a beer blend must not contain alcohol. The acquired alcoholic content of a beer blend must be at least 1.5% and no more than 11.9% of alcohol by volume and must be derived from the fermentation of the beer. The alcoholic beverages that may be used in making beer blended with other alcoholic beverages are beer, weak cider, wine and alcohol. The holder of a brewer’s permit must purchase the alcoholic beverages from the holder of an industrial permit issued pursuant to the Act respecting the Société des alcools du Québec (chapter S-13) who authorizes the making of the alcoholic beverages. The acquired alcoholic content of beer blended with other alcoholic beverages must be at least 1.5% by volume. When beer blended with other alcoholic beverages is being made, the alcoholic beverages purchased by the holder of a brewer’s permit and the aromatic substances used by the permit holder may contribute to the acquired alcoholic content of the finished product in a maximum proportion of 49%. Any inscription or picture appearing on a beer or beer blend container or the container of beer blended with other alcoholic beverages, including any mark used to distinguish the alcoholic beverage, must be true and accurate and create no risk of confusion or error in the consumer’s mind, particularly as regards the nature or composition of the alcoholic beverage. In particular, it may not refer to any other alcoholic beverage, so as to avoid any risk of confusion between the product concerned and such beverage. A beer or beer blend container or the container of beer blended with other alcoholic beverages, as well as any packaging, must not create in the consumer’s mind any risk of confusion with the container or other packaging associated with another alcoholic beverage.
