I freqent Ye Olde Orchard, McKibbin's, Dundee's, Irish Embassy, O'Regans...and the like and the selection of beers is almost identical. Stella/Heineken/Carlsberg + the Irish (Guiness, Kilkenny, Smithwick's and Harp). Also, I'm a little tired of spending $8 on a pint that I could buy at the SAQ for 2. Does anyone know of any pubs that serve a different variety of beers? For instance, something English (other than Newcastle) or Scottish or just different on tap? I've yet to find a pub that serves Boddington's, which is my favourite ale. Anyway, if you have any suggestions for somewhere with different beers on tap and maybe something a bit cheaper, I'd love to know!!!! (No brutopia please...) ps preferably downtown but not essential! thanks guys Fri May 29 00:20:41 -0700 2009 290885 berbatov 1 4724297 The Burgundy Lion has Boddies on tap ... but you're still paying $8 for the privilege. There's a couple of places that serve Tetleys but they're escaping me at the moment. Paul.

Fri May 29 07:20:39 -0700 2009 4724532 244720 Shattered 2 4896670 I'd add Vices&Versa for strictly québécois microbreweries on tap.

A much better pint imho.

You can find most any style of beer you want that's brewed in Quebec, support local brewers and save a few $ per pint at the same time. I would also argue that for some styles, such as certain types of Belgian beer, Quebec brewers can out-shine their inspirations with alarming regularity.

Not sure what they have on tap though and haven't been - but certainly quite the variety inside.

Thu Jul 30 15:50:28 -0700 2009 4902702 154232 montrealwaitress 4 4904703 Maybe they have Scottish style beers, but Vice & Versa doesn't sell imported beer which is what the OP is looking for.
