Imported beer in Montreal
Hi there. Long time reader, first time poster. I bet you've never heard that one!
I'm looking for places that offer a lot of IMPORTED beer, specifically places that sell it retail. I'm looking for Belgian, German, UK, and any other interesting kinds of beer. While I'm interested in beers from Quebec, I've already found a place I'm pretty satisfied with selection-wise (Paradis de la Biere seems to do the job pretty sufficiently, and is about three blocks from my apartment, but their imports left me somewhat wanting). Unfortunately I'm without a car, so if it's outside of the public transit system I might have a tough time getting there.
Thanks in advance!

You might want to check out this thread:

There's a big dépanneur on Duluth with "SAQ alimentation" sign, somewhere between St-Denis and St-Hubert. They have pretty decent offer of import, at least for this city, though I wouldn't call it "amazing". And their prices tend to be on the lower side. For example a six-pack of Pilsner Urquell (Czech beer which gave its name to all the pilsner beers) costs there about 2 loonies less then in any other place in Montreal.
