Dieu du Ciel is Montreal's best-loved brewpub, a cramped Laurier corner where flagship beers like Peche Mortel stout were first poured to a devoted crowd.
TipIt is small and gets packed; go early evening and start with the Peche Mortel imperial stout.
Isle de Garde is a handsome Rosemont brasserie in Montreal brewing European-leaning beers, from saisons to cask ales, poured in a wood-lined Beaubien taproom.

Vices et Versa is a terroir-focused tavern near Little Italy in Montreal, pouring only Quebec microbrews across dozens of taps beside a rustic bistro menu.
TipEvery tap is a Quebec brewery; ask the bar to build you a flight across the province's styles.
Brasserie Harricana is a bright Villeray brewery and restaurant in Montreal near the Jean-Talon Market, brewing a broad house range beside a full kitchen.

TipThe tap and bottle list runs to hundreds; ask staff to narrow it down by style before you order.
Benelux is a Milton-Parc brewpub in downtown Montreal near the universities, brewing a rotating range of ales poured to a student and after-work crowd.
