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.

When planning my brother's bachelor party weekend in Montreal, I kept him out of the major event…read moreplanning but asked if there were any high-level things he wanted to hit while we were there. He expressed interest in hitting up some breweries, so I did some research and compiled a few we could potentially visit. Brasserie Dieu du Ciel was one of them, and it just so happened we were in its vicinity after our Mile End food tour concluded. That being said, we made our way over. While I am not a beer person myself, I'll have a round or two if I'm with a group, and can appreciate a good brewery. My first impression of Dieu du Ciel was just that - the vibes were on walking in. The space is pretty large - kinda separated into semi- compartmentalized spaces with tables throughout. There's not much decor, but medium-toned woods throughout which gave it a sort of upscale feel. They offer a food menu, but we were just here for drinks. They have a really wide selection of beer - again, I'm no connoisseur, but I could tell that the selection was way more than other breweries I've been to. I ended up getting a cider for the first round and a stout for my second round - both very good. Service was great, and overall we enjoyed our time at Dieu du Ciel. Their selection and comfortable setting made it a standout brewery for me out of the ones I've visited in Montreal - I wouldn't hesitate to return.

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 started with a flight, and after one of the four didn't taste right, the waiter let us switch that out for another one...which then ended up being my wife's favorite.

My wife had a veggie burger with fries. While a bit messy, she also thought it was very good. Service was friendly and around when we needed it. After eating, we walked inside and around the taproom and windows where you can see the brewing area. Highly recommend!

I have discovered something extremely important about Montreal:…read more There are pubs where I am allowed INSIDE. Brutopia is practically next door to our temporary Montreal headquarters, so I suspect I will be conducting extensive research here over the next two weeks. Our first visit happened on a rainy evening, which immediately demonstrated Brutopia's greatest feature: DOGS. ARE. ALLOWED. INSIDE. Finally, a country that respects my social calendar. Brutopia is much bigger than it first appears. Once inside, there are multiple rooms with different types of seating, giving it that cozy, rambling pub feeling where you could easily find your own little corner and settle in for the evening. But despite the rain, Mum and Dad decided we should investigate the upstairs outdoor patio. Excellent decision. It's a really cool space with a huge colorful mural, hanging plants and a slightly greenhouse-y feel. Add in the fact that they sometimes have live music, and I can already tell this is going to become one of our neighborhood hangouts. Mum ordered a Caesar salad with bacon. I would like everyone to focus on one particular word in that sentence. BACON. I positioned myself appropriately. I stared. I waited. I even wore a hoodie to dinner, so frankly I don't know what more was expected of me. Meanwhile, Mum and Dad enjoyed a couple of drinks while I relaxed and took in the scene. Brutopia isn't trying to be a fancy dog restaurant with pup menus and elaborate canine amenities. What makes it special is actually more useful: I can come inside with my humans. On a rainy day--or eventually a chilly Montreal evening--that is a HUGE win for anyone traveling with a dog. And since we're staying practically next door... I believe I have found my local. Dogba's verdict: 5 paws out of 5. Dogs allowed INSIDE: Rain ruining our plans: NOT TODAY Cool upstairs patio: Giant mural: excellent backdrop for important dogs Live music potential: noted Drinks for Mum & Dad: plentiful Bacon on Mum's Caesar salad: I saw it. Distance from temporary headquarters: dangerously convenient Would return. In fact, considering the location, there is a very strong possibility that I now work here.

We were originally over by the Jean-Talon Market, and since we were staying downtown we wanted to find somewhere on our way back. Brutopia fit the bill, so off we went. I really liked the vibes as soon as we entered - the place isn't too large, but still spacious enough to have two semi-split up rooms. We stayed in the front room that housed the bar, some tables, as well as a small stage where (I assume) live music plays. The decor had somewhat of a music theme, as one of the walls was covered in pictures of famous artists. We had a round - I'm not the biggest beer person but had a cider which was good. We also split a poutine - we opted for the popcorn chicken one which was tasty. Everyone was really friendly, and we were even talking it up with a fellow patron who was also from New York. Service was great, and although it was only a short stay, I had a good experience at Brutopia. I wouldn't hesitate to return next time I'm in the area.

Le sigh. We ordered two orders of Poulet Frit Beurre Miel (Honey Butter Fried Chicken), Batonnets De Fromage (Mozzarella Sticks), Frit De Patate Douce Avec Sauce Beurre-Miel (Sweet Potato Fries with Honey Butter Sauce) and a liter of Sapporo. Unfortunately, our waiter messed up our order and brought us boneless wings instead of bone in. The chicken can definitely use some improvement by being seasoned throughout. The waiter was apologetic, but instead of apologizing, he should've wrote down what we ordered. Also the ginormous pieces of chicken were overwhelming. I wish they had more sauce. The batter should've been seasoned before dredging the chicken. Compliments to the chef on his frying technique. The chicken was still crunchy a day later. I thought it was a little odd that they brought out mozzarella sticks with a side of salsa. I guess they do things a little different in Canada. The sweet potato fries were good, but also they need more honey butter sauce. We've never had Sapporo and it was so refreshing. It paired extremely well with the chicken.

We had a round of drinks, one friend had a hot chocolate and it was literally served in a glass with no handle (too hot to hold), zero whipped cream or any adornments for an overpriced hot chocolate.
