| - Conveniently located on Rue Saint-Denis, in a high traffic area of downtown Montreal, this microbrewery in another gem which serves as a testament to Montreal's blossoming beer scene. Although not as good as Dieu du Ciel, this place is still well worth checking out, and I've had one of the greatest beers that I've ever had the chance to consume there... ever. Like seriously, they must have brewed it with some crack or something, it was incredible and the depth of flavor was mind-blowing. The beer in question, called Célébratus, which is a weinzeboch, German-style ale with hints of candied fruits, spices and even cloves is a must-have for anyone and everyone.
That beer aside, there's plenty more that they have to offer, but none of them that came as close to that one - They have Imperial ales, Porters, Czech-inspired brews and even a wide-range of hefe weizens. Their Vollbier, a münchen-type of lager was pretty good with strong hints of caramel and almond. Tasty stuff let me tell you.
The place just managed to impress and the decor and setting is rather unique, with some light wood tones everywhere and a dim lighting. It's actually pretty nice, quiet and comfortable there. The modern furniture blends in and they have two floors. The bathrooms are clean and there's even a chalkboard over the urinals in the men's bathrooms in case you get bored or inspired as you break the seal.
In case you get hungry, this place has you covered as well. They have tapas, which range in price from $2.25 for a small plate of olives to $12 for nachos. In the midst of these are plates of welsh rarebits, empanadas and even some gravlax. Oh and don't let me forget their onion soup. Heartier and more expensive entrées available are osso bucco ($14), fish and chips $13 and a bunch of other dishes. They even have crème brûlée for desert. But who are we kidding, you're here to drink, aren't you?
