Reviews for L'Amère à Boire - Brasserie Artisanale in Montréal, QC

Stopped by here on our beer tour .it looks like a pretty popular place and the beers we tried were very good . Didn't really... have any food but did get to try some salmon jerky . If that's any indication of how good the food is, I would love to come backto try the other selections on the menu. Read more

Loved it! Super busy but great atmosphere and an amazing imperial Stout!

We've been served by Paco. Best waiter in the entire island. The Craft Beer is one of the best I tasted.

I've had a couple great experiences visiting this little brewery! The first was during a cold montreal winter. We walked in off... the street looking for a place to warm up and were greeted by delicious pints. The second time was just this past week. Wereturned and were pleasantly surprised by a street dance party on Saint Denis, so we sat on the patio and enjoyed the music anda flight of beer. Try the Cerna and the Montreal Hell, and stop up the street at Uniburger too... Read more

Had one great experience on their terrace while the st Denis street was closed. We went a second time and felt the server was... rushed and short of patience. The beer remains good and the view also. We’ll try at another point. Read more

Lagers and pilsners are their speciality, and it shows. Cerna (Czech Pilsner) Is the speciality of the house, and no... wonder. This beer is made from yeast that was produced prior to the dissolution of the former Czechoslovakia. The brewery has acertificate of authenticity for the pre-1990s yeast it uses to brew this speciality. They take great care to ensure thecontinued vitality of this line of yeast. A modest fragrance greets the most inquisitive nose; and on the tongue, soft, roundedflavours lap. There is nothing big, or flashy with this beer, but with every sip it proclaims itself a true beer. This, it sayshumbly, is what real beer should aspire to; do not be seduced by the pretenders. Montreal Hell (Helles lager) A German lagerwith a crisp finish, and the mildest hint of bitterness, so transient that it makes one wonder if it was ever there. Elephant10 Mosaic (India session lager) A more roasted, smokey fragrance than one would expect in a lager sets this apart from itssiblings. Kazbec (lager) This beer leads with a citrus and grapefruit fragrence, and follows with a distinct grapefruit taste.A mild bitterness takes away the tartness of the grapefruit. Read more

We stopped here as part of our 'passeport en fût' , we suggest downloading the app if you like microbreweries. Service with a... little slow getting to us, but server was nice and our beer came quick. My husband ordered the Am?re à Boite - he enjoyed thecask ale . I ordered the Montréal Hell - it was good. I enjoyed it. We also ordered the cod bites which were awesome!! Theycame with a nice little side of tartar sauce but it was more like mayonnaise with lemon taste to it. I was able to eat just onebite and be fine two bites I'm full. Still good! We liked it! Nice patio!!! Read more

I organized a mini Montreal Beer Tour in Sept 2016 and this was our first stop. We sat outside on a little patio that was built... into the street. What a perfect place to just watch the world go by and consume some delicious beer on a beautiful Saturdayafternoon. I cannot remember what food we ordered but I remember everyone really enjoying it. I mean really enjoying it. We allordered a sampler of beers and ... Wow all the beers were fantastic. I think the Czech beer was the best .... although thatmemory may be influenced by the Czech film crew that mistook my wife for a Czech celebrity. Anyways, after asking about life in'Czechoslovakia' a few too many times the film crew buzzed off in a tizzy. Listen, I know it's not Czechoslovakia anymore and Ishould have said Czech Republic but when I was going to school all the maps said Czechoslovakia. Okay I understand that theVelvet Revolution is over 20 years old now, and I really should get with the times and respect the fact that the Czech Republicand Slovakia are completely different countries and cultures etc. But I guess this means no one claim Dominik Hašek as theirown then, since wikipedia says he was born in Czechoslovakia. The service at Brasserie Artisanale place was fantastic. Read more
