I'll be in town for several days and hope to try a number of places. thanks. Tue Jul 28 22:12:49 -0700 2009 1094333 flatbread 1 4899249 The best selection is at Vices & Versa, but there are other places worth visiting. This thread pretty much covers it all: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/604424 Wed Jul 29 00:23:45 -0700 2009 4899154 18488 SnackHappy 1 4900125 You going to have a great time, for sure. This city made me like beer, which was no small feat. Be sure not to miss Saint Bock on St. Denis. Wed Jul 29 09:17:05 -0700 2009 4899154 208595 The Chemist 1 4900226 There's a micro-brewery than won a price as best beer. They are located in the eastern part of the island of Montreal. In Repentigny if my memory is good. I also believe that their product is available a another micro-brewery locate near Laurier and St-Laurent area. Sorry no memory for name but maybe someone can give the 411. Wed Jul 29 09:45:18 -0700 2009 4899154 29575 maj54us 2 4900287 Repentigny is off-island, on the north shore just east of (or downriver from) Montreal. Any way you can find out the brewery's name? Am not aware of any brewers in Repentigny. The brewpub on Laurier and Clark is Dieu du Ciel. Should be at the very top of the OP's list. www.dieuduciel.com Wed Jul 29 09:55:34 -0700 2009 4900226 10520 carswell 3 4902092 Does Dieu du Ciel only offer it's beer on tap at the brewpub? Does McAuslan have a similar brewpub here in Montreal? I noticed that the centre St. Ambroise is at the brewary near Lachine Canal but it appears to be open only for events or by appointment. I guess one can find there beer at a lot of places but it would be nice to try some of their offerings at the officially sanctioned brewpub (if such a thing exists). Wed Jul 29 19:46:38 -0700 2009 4900287 161693 blond_america 4 4902197 Dieu du Ciel has begun bottling a few a their beers. Points of sale listed here: http://micro.dieuduciel.com/fr/pventes.php McAuslan doesn't have a brewpub per se but in warm months it has an outdoor terrace behind the brewery, alongside the Lachine Canal bike path. www.mcauslan.com/en/terrace/index.html Wed Jul 29 20:35:07 -0700 2009 4902092 10520 carswell 5 4904457 In the summer Peter McAuslan hosts beer tastings on his Terrace.at the Brewery I believe it is once a week.
