| - I visited this brewery twice this summer while studying in Montreal. Best brewery I've ever been to (puts the fantastic Victory in Downingtown, PA to shame). They have about fifteen of their own beers on tap per day and the selection varies as they brew 40-plus of their own beers. If you're picky, check their website to see what will be on tap.
I tasted nine different beers and, while I liked some better than others, they were all unique and fresh. (For reference, I like Blue Moon, Magic Hat #9, Sunshine Wheat, Hoegaarden, Victory Sunrise Weissbier.) My favorite was Paienne--a blond ale that's not too malty, not too hoppy, slightly bitter, and just the right amount of fruity. I very much enoyed Fumisterie, which can only be described as a smoky weizen, as well. The prices were great and the pours were generous. The pizzas were delicious: thin-crusted and big enough for two. The atmosphere here was wonderful--lively and packed to the point of being unable to stretch on a Friday night and a place for quiet tasting on an afternoon. If you are an Anglophone, learn a few key beer words in French before going since most of the waiters spoke only French (rightfully so) or just pick a number off the menu and see what you get--you won't be disappointed.
