Messorem Bracitorium

Off the charts vibe. Huge patio with 30 or so blue picnic tables. Inside counter service and a few tables. The selection is crazy. 30 or so taps but over have are NE IPAs or other IPAs. Everything I had was delicious. Loved their Grisette.

This place was absolutely packed on a Friday night! Huge outdoor patio, large industrial indoor space, appreciated the playoff hockey on the mega screen. Energetic, loud, and hip is the vibe here, don't tell Montreal craft beer is dead! The selection is ipa heavy, but there are some lagers, barrel aged, and maybe a saison or two. The beer was good but not great, feels like a younger brewery. Service was great though considering the huge demand, they kept that line moving

Factory style pickup and great patient counter service which is fine. Big indoors airy outside plus weather protected outside. Lots of room. But bring hour own friends. Quebec good bar manners nobody pushes or cuts you off in.line if they see you.Close to 30 taps. I think owing to popularity only one dipa on tap or to take with. Styles good and tasting fresher than cans. Ris they had on was Stanley cup good.a must stop.

It's a journey to get to as it's located in an area of heavy industry. Despite the location, there's quite a few people on a Friday afternoon. This is a taproom for the attached brewery. No other alcohol is sold. The food is simple--mostly bar munchies.

The taproom is cavernous with a 30 foot ceiling and plenty of space. There's a 3-season seating area and an outside patio. Of course, there's plenty of swag and cans to go.

In terms of quality.the beers are inconsistent. I had a superb Schwartzbier and the exceptional Elabore à 3 but also a mediocre IPA. The variety is impressive with 28 beers on tap (out of 30 potentially).

The beer-tender knew the selections and descriptions well. This is definitely in the French speaking part of town, but English was welcomed (thank goodness).

Large brewery and taproom in a days-gone-by industrial area off St-Patrick somewhere between Sud-Ouest and Verdun - almost exactly halfway walking distance between my daughter's apartment and @TheDoctor's! Ample picnic table-type seating, both indoors and out, some with heat lamps. I've been there at various times of day, weekends and weekdays, and it's usually been busy but never mobbed. Vibe gets dinged a couple points for loud, angry hip-hop music - quieter earlier maybe but getting louder later into the evening. Although it is fun watching the pasty-pale Québécois boys pretending to be gangsters. Beer ranges from pretty good to excellent, selection is IPA-heavy but with a decent assortment of other styles, as well, especially the fruited sour stuff. Walk-up bar service. They don't run tabs which is problematic mainly because mammasilenus can actually see how many times I've gone back to the bar by counting transactions on the credit card statement. Probably 24? 26? beers on tap and half that many canned for take-away. They've (recently, I think?) added food but it's just OK.

Super interesting set up: covered terrace and beer garden in old industrial area. Lively, with loud music (+0.25 vibe score for frequently playing Notorious BIG) and packed seating area each time I’ve visited. Velo-friendly. I love the double-sided bars where you can enjoy intimate conversation with your partner. Beer is excellent, selection is focused toward sours and IPAs (19/30 were pale ale derivatives in June 2033!!) but there were gems on the menu if you’re willing to go beyond the trends. I will happily return next time I am in Montreal.

 

Large brewhouse located in an old industrial sector on the south part of Montreal. Plenty of parking on the streets next to the brewery. Large place with loads of sitting room inside and outside when weather permits. Small food items but the main attraction is beers. Lots of great beers and some other more gimmicky stuff such as slushies and whatnot. Good service. NOt cheap but this is the price to pay for quality and hype.

 

This brewery is a re-purposed warehouse in an old industrial district that has a lot of abandoned buildings and not much else around. I have not been yet in summer to see how it is with the terrace, but the interior is a really cool mix of modern and old with 1 long bar and a lot of seating. The beers are mostly IPA's as that is their specialty but they did have a hoppy pilsner and a bourbon aged stout on the menu. I tried 2 doubles and a juicy IPA and all 3 were fantastic. I will definitely be back, probably during the summer months. What a cool experience.

A place in an old warehouse or somesuch making and canning their own NEIPAs, et al., some sours AFAIK and who knows what else down the line. It looks exactly like you're imagining based on that last sentence. One of the cool things they have is the outside seating with an old water tower looming above you as you drink. There are windows to the brewhouse and it is set up to serve a lot of beer. They are just starting out, though, so on the day I went there were only three beers on offer. It looks like eventually they will be able to accommodate quite a variety though. There is a barrel room, shirts and glasses for sale, and package sale of cans. At the moment they are doing one release per week and only open Thursday-Sunday, but that might change going down the road for all I know. The bathrooms are also worth the trip and an interesting, if slightly confusing after a couple beers, unisex maze of tiny rooms with individual toilets.
Anyway, I will be back in the future and will update my review as need be.
