| - While this shop is overall a must-visit gourmand's paradise--a little taste of Europe in North America, particularly for us Americans from just south of the border--I am writing this review primarily to direct beer lovers to the one place they should visit for a sampling of Quebecois brews in Montreal. Definitive selection of Canadian, mostly local, beers, and most of them are not available (from what I've seen, which is a lot) in the US. Stock up. Most of the products are quite affordable, as the giant bottle craze seems not to have swept French Canada yet. Montreal is a beer drinking town, so most bars have great selections on tap, I should add. I had no idea the Quebecois were producing *this* much craft beer, though!
Warning for Americans, you are only technically allowed to import 1L of alcohol into the US (per person). Not sure if beer is an exception, and though the border guards are unlikely to search your car, you may not want to risk it and drink most of your beer in your hotel room, as I did.
