National Capital Region Beer Tourist Trap…read more The little specialty shop can be found in a new mini-mall in a residential area of Gatineau. The store is very neat, tidy and well laid out. The beer selection is organized by style along the shelves, not by geographics. The vast majority of the brews are from Québec, La Belle Provence. If you're in the Ottawa area, definitely the place to go for Quebec microbrews. Great selection, with an offering 300 varieties of beer! A hidden treasure for beer loving tourists visiting the National Capital Region! 25/30 - Yelp Ottawa's 30 Day Challenge!!

Close to the Aylmer Marina (stunning views of the Ottawa River), Dépanneur Rapido is one of two famous convenience stores in the old village of Aylmer, Québec. Dépanneur Rapido has an abundant selection of domestics, broad selection of imports and an impressive array of micro brews. The walk-in cooler in the back of the store is extensive. Expect to pay about a buck a beer for most domestics. As it is to be expected, there is little parking available. You will be able to find parking on the streets. If you are planning on an abundant purchase, don't bring it up to the cash - let the cashier know and staff will accommodate you at the garage door. Pay and go! Taxes are not included in the sticker prices for beer in Quebec, unlike Ontario, but the savings add up. Some of the sale prices, as of January 28, 2013: Coors Light 60 CANS.............................60.49$ 24 BOTTLES.......................24.79$ Sapporo 24 BOTTLES.......................24.54$ 12 BOTTLES........................12.27$ Corona 24 BOTTLES.......................26.99$ 12 BOTTLES........................17.99$ Heineken 24 CANS..............................28.99$ 24 BOTTLES.......................27.99$ Stella Artois 24 CANS.............................27.99$ 24 BOTTLES.......................27.99$ Moosehead 24 CANS.............................25.99$ 24 BOTTLES.......................25.99$ 26/30 - Yelp Ottawa's 30 Day Challenge!!

They have stacks of beer cases for incredible prices, and since they sell so many cases, the beer is fresh. If you live in the Ottawa area, definitely worth it to cross the bridge for these savings.

I responded "I should just keep my money then"? He responded with a nod and a "yes". I told him that I could also not shop a The Beer Store while here. Won't be back and will address this attitude with his supervisors. Update: Spoke with his supervisor Lacey and she was very friendly. She stated that they get American money almost daily and it's nothing more than pushing a button on the cash register and that she would deal with the employee.

You may purchase cases of six, twelve, fifteen, twenty-four or even twenty-eight. My spouse likes Newcastle brown in bottles. It is a four point seven alcohol content. I prefer bottled Canadian beers. Today we purchased some Newcastle and Moosehead. They last a long time so we can enjoy them for at least a month probably two. This is a convenient place to pick up our beverages since we are often in this area..

The food isn't stuff that I would crave in the wider world. The four cheese pizza was more of a pizza wannabe than an actual pizza but still it was tasty and satisfying. Where they shined was their drinks. The gin spritz was lovely! It was lemony and well balanced. The sangria was amazing - well balanced as well, refreshing, and lovely. The service ranged but it was considerable. The workers seemed to walk the sections at their availability checking in with people. Everyone ranges from very professionally polite to friendly and approachable. It was nice.

A brand new, ginormous LCBO right down the street from me?! AWESOME!…read more This location used to have one of the of the oldest, run down LCBOs in Ottawa, and it totally deserved this facelift. It's located right across the street from Carlingwood in the revamped Fairlawn Plaza. What makes this location so freakin' awesome? It's huge! It's size makes the selection great, and I have a bit of a sentimental attachment to it since it's were I first discovered pre-mixed Canadian Club and Ginger ale (SO convenient - right?!). Seriously though, the selection kicks butt, the staff are helpful and pleasant and it's brand new! What's not to love? Also, if you happen to be a drinking cyclist, they have a bunch of places for your bike (and they're used - a lot. I don't know how people have such awesome balance that they can bike home with a 2-4, but props to them). My only teeny tiny complaint it that they're only open till 9 p.m. most nights, but so are most locations that aren't downtown. Otherwise, thank you Ontario for this wonderful establishment!
