🍻 McClelland Premium Imports (MPI)

Exceptional, Authentic European Beers

Founded in 2003, McClelland Premium Imports was built on a mission: to bring Canada the finest and most authentic beers from Europe. Today, MPI curates a portfolio of high-quality craft beers from Austria, Belgium, England, Ireland, and Germany — each brewed with pure ingredients and deep-rooted tradition. All MPI beers are 100% natural, free from artificial additives and preservatives.

🇩🇪 Erdinger Brewery – The Elegance of Bavarian Wheat Beer

Founded in 1886 and brewed exclusively in Erding, Erdinger is the world’s leading wheat beer brewery. Every bottle undergoes secondary fermentation for that signature Champagne-like effervescence — enjoyed in over 90 countries.

🇧🇪 Huyghe Brewery – Home of the Iconic Pink Elephant

Brewing in Melle since 1906, Huyghe became world-famous with Delirium Tremens, named the world’s best beer in 2008. Other standout creations include Deliria (brewed entirely by women), and the fruity Floris and Mongozo lines. A pioneer in sustainability, Huyghe aims to be the greenest brewery in the world.

🇮🇪 Carlow Brewing Company – The Revival of Irish Stout

Established in 1996 in a 19th-century railway goods store, Carlow Brewing is at the forefront of Ireland’s craft beer resurgence. Their slogan, Brewing in the flavour, captures their dedication to bold, traditional beers brewed with environmental care.

🇧🇪 Verhaeghe Brewery – The Flemish Mastery of Oak-Aged Beer

A small family-run brewery since 1885, Verhaeghe embraces the philosophy: “do less, but do it better.” Their flagship red-brown ale, Duchesse de Bourgogne, is fermented with wild yeast and aged in oak barrels for up to 18 months — a true Belgian classic.

🇦🇹 Stiegl Brewery – Austria’s Most Beloved Beer Since 1492

Stiegl is Austria’s largest private brewery, known for its Märzen (Goldbräu) and deep commitment to quality. Located in Salzburg near Mozart’s birthplace, Stiegl uses pure spring water and heirloom grains grown on its own organic farm, Wildshut.

🇧🇪 Chimay – True Trappist Tradition

Brewed at the Scourmont Abbey in Belgium, Chimay is one of just five Belgian breweries certified with the Authentic Trappist Product seal. Chimay beers are brewed by or under the supervision of monks, with proceeds going to charity and community.

🇧🇪 Lindemans Brewery – Lambic Legacy Since 1822

From Vlezenbeek, the Lindemans family has preserved the rare art of spontaneous fermentation for over six generations. Their lambics — crafted in the only region of the world where wild yeasts allow it — are fruity, funky, and uniquely Belgian.
