rev:text	Woody Allen once joked that he made a five o'clock reservation for the Copacabana nightclub. He took a date there and watched them set up. That is kind of how I felt visiting the Verdun-based Benelux this past weekend. This bar has a ton of indoor seating and a somewhat industrial, stainless steel ambiance that works well for a brewpub, while the outside terrace was pleasantly packed for a sunny Saturday afternoon, but still large enough to accommodate two bubbly people strolling in. Unfortunately, the home-brewed beer was a lot less effervescent than its patrons. Each of the five beers in their sampler was flat and under carbonated. The flavors were there, and for the most part showed potential, but the beers were just too watery to be truly enjoyed. Given they only opened this month, it's not surprising that they may have rushed into action and gotten a bit ahead of themselves to get a nice variety of beers on the menu, but what we drank was not quite ready for prime time. I found that a bit disappointing, as they could have waited to launch until everything was ready, especially since they have the monopoly on bars in this area, with no imminent competition on the horizon. But rushing things this way, and even opening up with only one beer on tap and their terrace incomplete as another review indicated some days earlier, seems a bit greedy. It conveys they are in it for the money and not about bringing tasty, unique beers to light. While the beers we sampled were imperfect, their stout did offer subtle coffee flavors that I did enjoy, while their Munich-style amber ale was equally promising. I would, however, pass on their American Pale Ale that had pungent floral notes the next time, as well as their Hefeweizen that lacked some of the the traditional clove and fruity esters I am more accustomed to when drinking this style of beer. That being said, Benelux is backed with lots of brewing experience, and their brewpub on Sherbrooke West has never missed the mark and does seem to care about the product they sell, so I really hope they'll work out the bugs and focus on their product, and become the toast of Verdun because of the beers they have to offer and not because they are the new kid on the block, and one of the only bars in this area.
