| - One of the most known brewers of the city, aptly named "Brewery of Montreal". The franchise has three locations in Montreal, but this one, although far from the downtown core, is worth the detour. Located in Griffintown, once an industrial neighborhood now slowly gentrifying to the pace of the new stores being opened on its pedestrian streets. Accessible by transit from a short walk from the Lucien-L'Allier metro station, this bar also sits in a bike friendly neighborhood. The patio is locatedon on a street with little or no cars, near the Lachine canal--differs from the more noisy and busy other locations.
Brasseur de Montréal is known for its beers: be warned that their food menu, somewhat extensive at first sight, is deceiving. I ordered a fish and chips plate whole my fellow Yelper got a plate of nachos with extra guac. Hips were soggy and I was surprised that the fish wasn't fried in a beer batter--after all, it's a brewery! Malt vinegar wasn't available, too. The nachos were as equally deceiving, and the extra guac cane with a $2 price tag...
However, the beers made up for the ffood that we ordered only as finger food. Got the IPA and La Rebelle Québécoise, and they were as described: hoppy and slightly for the IPA, and light and refreshing, with a tart endtaste for the Rebelle. Pleasant beers for patio season!
I only rated three stars because of the disappointing food, but will come back for the beers. A little surprised a brewery this well-known didn't have happy hour pricing and deals.
