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.

Working in Montreal for the week and while hunting around for dinner I did my usual Yelp'ing! I…read morediscovered Pub BreWskey near my hotel so I decided to check it out! Here's how it went... Atmosphere/Appearance: The entrance is kinda off the beaten path and the restaurant is located under what looks like some sort of laboratory. Once down the stairs you're greeted by what feels like an underground speakeasy vibes! There's exposed copper ventilation pipes, exposed warm lightbulbs, raw concrete, wood and quite a few places to sit. I sat at the bar on the metal chairs like all pros do! But off to the side is a set of stairs which leads down to the ACTUAL BREWERY where all of the beer is made! I loved that there were windows in which you could look out of to see the giant vats. Really cool. Service: Dany at the bar took excellent care of me and there was nothing more I could've asked of him. He was attentive, fun and made sure I enjoyed my time there. Food/Drinks: First up I started with their Brew Juice, a beer made right in-house. It was their "beer smoothie". It was sweet, filling, thick, sour and crazy flavorful! Tasted nothing like a beer at all. My first appetizer was the Bacon Jerky which is thick-cut bacon in a beer maple glaze, chili seasonings, sesame seeds and green onions. It was mildly sweet, salty, savory, thick, tender and really, really good and not what I was expecting given the name. My 2nd beer was the Double Goose. This one was deliciously sour, gentle, not too sweet at all or harsh. For my entree I went with their special that was written in chalk on the board! I was the Sandwich of Duck & Lamb. The salad on the side was GREAT! Good bitter greens with rich, robust dressing. The chips the sandwich also came with were seasoned well and had an excellent spicy mayo dipping sauce. Sandwich was GREAT as well! Bread was softer than expected. Rich, buttery flavor. The 2 meats were light and worked well together. The sandwich is called "Sandwich Au Lapin De Cannard", but "lapin" translates to rabbit. Warm, cheesy, comforting, filling. Lil' cajun flavor. Caught a bone or 2 while eating it. It happens. Value: It's a brewery that actually serves food and that's always a plus! All prices are in $CAD. My first 12 oz. beer was $8.75. My 2nd one was $9.00. The bacon jerky was $10.00 and the sandwich with salad and chips was $26.00. Extremely reasonable if you ask me. In conclusion, I really enjoyed my time here at Pub BreWskey and I would surely pay this place another visit. Beers rotate all the time so what I had may not even be around by the time you visit. Same goes for the specials on the chalkboard! Thank you for reading and supporting local businesses.

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.

Despite saying about a week ago in a review about not usually being able to write reviews for…read morebreweries not in the United States here we are writing a review for a brewery not in the United States. Lol! I have had Unibroue on more than one occasion and both times I was highly impressed with their beer. A beer that I may very well be able to say could be a new favorite as long as I can maintain getting it often there Blanche de Chambly. This is a blanche style witbierand after reading up on it is one of the original white ales that date back to the Middle Ages. I have really enjoyed the few that I have had as the blanche witbiers are just not that common in the United States. I have to say the brewery I wrote about a week ago also involved a blanche beer for Meteor Brewing. Although I loved their blanche too without going to France can be a challenge to find but I have seen Unibroue more often as a guest tap in the United States. Flavor highlights with this beer is a light, clean fruitiness which I found to be so very enjoyable. Another beer I had was a stout of theirs called the 30 Anniversaire. This beer I found highly enjoyable as well and as the name implies it is to celebrate 30 years and a thank you to customers. This Belgian style stout has a roasty, toasty and caramel flavor features and with all that combined makes for a delightful maple aroma. I have to say Unibroue really knows what they are doing with their beer and have gotten the belief getting any of their beers will knock your socks off!

For anyone that wants to enjoy this delicious nectar, simply go to their restaurant in Chambly, Fourquette Fourchette! Unibroue is expanding all the time, and apparently, they had issues with tours and beer contamination - thank God they had their priorities in order! Yep, no more tours - small price to pay for badass beer, though! This never prevented drive-by picture taking, though! Hahah. All kidding aside, this place makes incredible beer, and deserves special attention, tours or not. Make this a part of your Montréal visit and you shall not be disappointed!

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.

The list of beers available change often and the board of available beers is constantly being updated. They serve pub fair, great nachos, but you're also allowed to purchase food at any one of the market stands and bring it in. The service was good, the waiters and owners were funny and welcoming. We went for a Wednesday trivia night, something hard to find on the south shore, and were treated to a pitcher of beer for winning the first round. (note: the trivia is in in French but you can give your answers in French or English). As soon as the weather gets nice, there's a patio so I'm looking forward to going back with or without friends.
