SAQ store or Depanneur w best beer selection

[MaryZ]

Is there a location in Montreal (relatively central, but okay as long as I can reach via the Metro) with a greater selection of local QC beer/cider? Not interested in imports. Thanks!

There is a great dep on the north side of Laurier, just west of St. Urbain. They have the best beer selection within the Mile End. A lot of interesting local beers.

That'd be "the King of Beer", and agreed. I love wandering their beer selection for new treasures! And almost everything's available as individual bottles, so you're not stuck with a six pack of something you might end up hating.

He also create his own beer under his own brand "Paradisiac".
My understanding is that these beers are his own recipes, but he has local brewers produce/bottle them. He tends to favour heavier beers (triple fermented, Belgian style), but he also has a "ligher" beer. All can be purchased by the bottle.

The place with the largest selection in town is Délires du Terroir in Plaza St-Hubert. Last time I checked, they claimed to have 182 different Québec beers.

The best place to sample Québec beers is Vices & Versa on St-Laurent near the gates of Little Italy. They have 29 beers on tap and you can order carousels: a flight of six half-glasses from the beer menu.

Le Marché des Saveurs in the south-east corner of the Jean-Talon market carries *only* Quebec products, and has a big selection of local beer, cider, wines, etc. For directions by metro & other info, see the three posts starting here:
