Isle de Garde - Brasserie, Rosemont - La Petite-Patrie

Quebec has over 250 microbreweries, and many of the best have taprooms in Montreal where you can drink the beer where it was made. Styles range from Belgian-inspired ales to barrel-aged sours to hop-forward IPAs. The neighbourhood brewery with a taproom has become a Montreal institution. Most serve food or let you bring your own. Summer evenings on a brewery terrace with a flight of house pours are one of the best casual experiences in the city.
