Even those with more casual interest in beer probably know that DDC makes really great drinks. And yep, they were excellent. I wasn't there to do a long session, so I got a couple tasters, one including Peche Mortal and the other a NEIPA. Two very different styles and both extremely well done. Beyond that, the space had a very old-fashioned look. Really nice wooden fixtures and a very warm, welcoming vibe. The server was also attentive and friendly, but also knew when to let people sit back and enjoy their drinks. You probably don't need me to tell you, but yes, you should go.

B and I ended up sitting outside on the benches that were setup. It was somewhat romantic with the hanging lights. The benches were in a good layout so it didn't feel like it was too crammed etc. Definitely a great place to have a gathering with friends on a hot day. Server was very friendly. B said the beer was pretty good. He said it was not too hoppy and yes it was definitely better than most craft brewery from BC (where we are from). He was impressed. He said he would go back for sure. I have to say Montreal has some really good craft brewery and you know that they don't cut corners like many of the craft brewery back home in BC that is why their flavor is much more apparent and the beer itself is less hoppy.

We have been to hundreads of breweries and this has got to be in my top few. Part of it is that I…read moream partial to good sours on the sweet side and complex hazies. Not only did they have both but they were some of the best I have had. The 20 - Somnia Extererri Mango smoothy sour was so rich sweet and sour that it reminded me of a tropical cocktail but I would rather this one. No notes. The 6 - Above the Nuage hazy IPA and the 10 - Commutatio hazy IPA were both super hazy and fruity that you couldnt see even through the sample. It was complex and bright. Just what I look for in hazies. The seating was amazing too. Plenty of varied seating from long couches that could hold big groups, to picnic benches, and even a few single seating on the side. Even with the heat, the trees blocked out most of the sun so it was always a good tempurature without needing unbrellas The line would go from a few people to out the door quickly but they went through them pretty fast. When there arent many people (and depending on the bartender) they give samples which was how we got to find some of these great ones, but when its long they tend to shy away from samples so wait for it to calm down if you want some. I hope I can come back to Montreal again some time to come back to this one. I will miss it and recomend it to anyone visiting.

So glad that staff was able to seat us at the bar because the restaurant was mostly full. It's got this like old pirate ship kind of feel - looks like repurposed wood, a lot of lamp lights and generally a good time. I'm pretty sure that their menu changes from season to season. While we were there, we got the oysters, the bourgots, THE 12 INCH HOTDOG, and a caramel-y pasta dish. I also got a glass of white. The food was FANTASTIC. I also saw someone order a whole boat of oysters and temporarily felt envy, to which my friend said there's literally 2 of us. No way we can eat a small boat's worth of oysters. I really liked the vibe of this restaurant. Staff are bilingual, which always makes things easier when you're traveling. It's also opened late.

We chose a table near a window and the waitress brought over the menus right away. We ordered some wine, an order of wings and an order of Patron tacos.

The tacos were corn and the fillings were plentiful with beef and onion. The only things missing were some veggies and dip with the wings and something fresh with the tacos like a pico de gallo. Regardless, we really enjoyed the food and the waitress was friendly and very efficient. We would definitely come back.

Avante Harde is a large bright space in an old industrial building. There is a glass wall separating us from the brewing. There is a nice pizza oven in the bar area. There were more than 20 beers available on tap and in cans. We tried several and all were great. I really liked the imperial stout. We ordered some pizzas that were pretty good. Maybe the trust could be a little less floppy but it was good. Table service was ok. When we first got there there was only one guy working and he was hopping. At 5:00 more workers showed typo which was great as the bar was getting more customers. It was about a 20 minute taxi back to the hotel. This was very good beer so I recommend you jump in a cab and head to Avant Garde.

Avant-Garde Artisans Brasseurs was born in 2016 from the joint imaginations of two young men…read moredetermined and talented, tortured at times, but no less cute: Renaud Gouin and Shawn Duriez. Bringing together all the necessary qualities to give birth to a major brewing phenomenon, they first courted a little timidly then, noting the almost perfect match of their ambitions and the complementarity of their personal abilities, have united. Today they hold the galloping reindeer of a hypothetical empire of fermentation and claim with optimism that, I quote: "the fruit of our genius is absolutely ripe and its flesh supple and pulpy. Its assimilation by the human of tomorrow will be great, and its digestion will bathe a dazzling light and warm future civilizations. "(Reference) In addition to time and space, their only constraint is to create what they want. So they go from beer to beer according to the seasons, patiently materializing their vision of a better world. In 2018, Avant-Garde merged with Jukebox - also founded by Renaud Gouin - to build from scratch a superb production brewery next to a chic chic tasting room in the premises of the late Bingo Hochelaga, the hottest bingo in town.

There are several tables scattered around a large room with high ceilings and a bit of outdoor seating right at an intersection making for plenty of people watching. We came for the beer and sat at the bar. Chalkboards list the available beers as does their website. There are plenty to choose from and you can get a growler to go. Besides beer they have a few wines, scotch, bourbon and full bar as well as snacks, hot dogs and sandwiches. We ordered a bread and cheese snack which was a soft, brie like cheese and warm baguette. This was a very tasty snack. My SO got a spicy hotdog which he very much enjoyed. All the staff were friendly and the area clean. There are two restrooms down a hall near the bar, each is a 'single person', one men's one woman's. Located in the city, parking is on street, paid lot or garage. I recommend public transportation, bike or walk. This very laid back, easy going, beer focused business should definitely be on your list if you enjoy craft brews.
