Score! I'm all about trying local products while traveling, so I was happy to find that many restaurants I came across in Canada double as microbreweries. I think Projet Pilote was one of my favorites for its range and the establishment's ambiance. Service was quick and attentive. Thanks! Would like to stop by again and perhaps try the food next time.

Project Pilote is a fabulous green bar that functions as a mini brewery/distillery that also serves food during the kitchen's open hours. We had a variety of drinks to choose from and the staff there were very accommodating and helpful in picking out the best drafts. We ended up staying for an hour just relaxing after battling for fries next door, and I'd definitely go back again.

Distillerie de Montréal's Rosemont & Honey Whiskey…read more Today, during a quick stop at the SAQ, I stumbled across two bottles from Distillerie de Montréal that immediately caught my attention. Being a whiskey and bourbon fan -- especially since the LCBO and SAQ don't always carry my usual imports anymore -- I've had to get more adventurous with my choices. Like most of us, I'm on the hunt for new favourites to add to my home bar. First, the Rosemont Whiskey grabbed me. Growing up around Rosemont, I felt an instant connection to it. Then I noticed their Honey Whiskey sitting next to it , so into my basket it went too -- there was no way I was leaving one behind! I decided to pour a glass of each as soon as I got home, and wow. That was honestly my first reaction. Then after another sip... wow again. These whiskeys are rich and surprising -- every sip uncovered a truckload of flavor, like they'd been waiting to shine all along. The Rosemont is smooth, balanced, and super drinkable while the honey version is warm and sweet without being too syrupy -- a luxurious finish that feels perfectly crafted. And here's the thing: as someone who normally reaches for classic bourbons and aged whiskeys , I wasn't expecting these local options to hit this hard. They absolutely deserve a top-shelf spot. Frankly, if I owned a bar, I'd feature these front and center -- these bottles are that good. Thanks, POTUS -- and all the weird import restrictions -- for pushing me to look local. This is one of those discoveries you want to shout about! In short: I'm in love, and I can't wait to introduce these bottles to friends and family at my next gathering. Cheers to Distillerie de Montréal -- you've earned a fan for life!

Thorough | Informative | Fun…read more Thorough: The entire process was really easy. From my initial call with Cedric and the team, they were quick, easy and very knowledgeable on the numbers. They were also very flexible with pricing in terms of making it at a point where my group of 22 dudes for a bachelor party felt comfortable. informative: The trip was great, every stop came with access to how each brewery made their beer and a variety of taste test (2 - 4 beers). Our package came with 4 breweries and food at the final stop. The food options were cheeseburger, poutine, and a salad. Fun: Overall Cedric matches your energy level. We had a rowdy group which was a bit intoxicated. Our group had a great time, learned a lot and having transportation included took a big burden off of our group. We had a pretty cool 25 passenger bus which took us to every location. It was a great way to see other parts of the city. each leg of the trip was 10-12 minutes long, so we could chat, see some sights, and ask questions about the city. Pro Tip: Call ahead and price shop around. Depending on group size you may want to go with another place because they are on the higher end of the brew tour industry in Montreal. However, if you have 16+ people in your group ... they are the only game in town that guarantees transportation and seating for everyone in your group.

This was the best experience i have ever had! For starters our tour guide, Mat was amazing! We had…read morean issue getting to the location on time and we're about 15-20mins late and Matt stayed in contact with me through text while we navigated our way to the pick up location. Once we arrived, Mat was super welcoming and understanding of us being late. He provided us with so much knowledge about beer, local breweries, his personal experience with brewing beer, and history about the city. We met some great people on this tour and made friends that we are still in contact with. I want to go back to Montreal just so i can do this tour again with the hopes of having May as our guide again. I would recommend this tour to anyone that likes beer or doesn't like beer. I'm not a huge beer drinker but the experience helped me develop more of an appreciation. I love trying new things and this tour allows you to try such a variety of things i would have never tried on my own.

A craft beer tour is a must when planning a bachelor party in Montreal! Our guide was Andy and he…read morewas very funny, friendly, and super knowledgeable. The tour consisted of beers from three different stops, with some light bites to pair with the beers. The walk to the final bar was the furthest, but it wasn't too bad considering Andy gave us some brief history lessons along the way. He even brought us to the old red light district and gave a more detailed lesson on it. It was definitely a fun time, and I'm really glad we added this to the bachelor party itinerary!

Our tour guide was fabulous, so knowledgeable about the origins of beer, and the origins of Montreal. At each location they give you a bunch of beer and it's paired with food/snacks. Even if you have people in your group who don't drink beer they will give you cider at each location, which is rare for most brewery tours I've been on previously. Everyone had plenty of beer and it was a really great value for what we got. Also the online customer service I received was very helpful in securing a group tour for all 13 of hs

Myself and a friend used Gray Line Canada for a few day trips and tours around Montreal, Ottawa,…read moreand Quebec City. The hop on hop off in Montreal was fabulous, and we stopped at all of the biggest sights in the city, like Olympic Park, St, Joseph's Oratory, the Biodome, the Botanical Gardens, and Notre Dame Basilica, among many other options when you hop on and off to plan things you want to hop off and see. The Quebec City Day Tour was great as well, with stops in Old Quebec, Parliament Hill, Montmorency Falls, and the Place Royale. The Laurentian Mountains day trip was a scenic drive through the mountains to St. Sauveur and St. Adolphe d'Howard, including the beautiful Lac des Sables. Gray Line Canada is definitely more an aggregator of tours. You could probably book these tours locally or self drive a few of them, but if you are looking for more of an all-in-one tour plan, Gray Line could be the right fit for you.

Since my wife and I's first day in Montreal was Monday when the museums were mostly closed, we…read moredecided to do the Gray Line tour. The bus was large and comfortable and our tour guide and driver were amazing. The driver gave us great recommendations of places to go as well. We got off a couple times, at Place d'Armes in Old Montreal in front of Notre Dame, the Tower of Montreal, to grab coffee and food at Masionneuve Market, and the amazing overlook of the city at Mount Royal. They gave us a few options for drop off so we could decide where to spend the rest our day and the pickup was centrally located near our hotel, the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth. All in all, the half day tour is highly recommended and a great value so not sure why the ratings average so low.
