Brasserie Artisanale L'amère à Boire

Great place. Interior is set up to make you feel like you're in a 16th century tavern. Neat selection of Czech beers.

I had some great experiences that visited this little brewery! The first was during a cold Montreal winter. We went in the street to a place to warm up and were greeted by delicious pints. The second time was this last week. We returned and were pleasantly surprised by a street dance party at Saint Denis, so we sat on the terrace and enjoyed the music and a flight of beer. Try the Cerna and the Montreal Hell and stop the road to Uniburger also...

Camps and pilgrims are their speciality, and it shows. Cerna (Czech Pilsner) is the speciality of the house and no wonder. This beer is made from yeast produced before the dissolution of former Czechoslovakia. The brewery has a certificate of authenticity for the pre-1990 yeast that it uses to brew this speciality. They take care of the continued vitality of this yeast line. A modest fragrance welcomes the most inquisitive nose; and on the tongue, soft, rounded aromas lap. There is nothing big, or flashy with this beer, but with every sip there is a true beer. This, it says humble, is what genuine beer should strive for; not be seduced by the superiors. Montreal Hell (Helles lager) A German camp with a crisp finish, and the mildest touch of bitterness, so transient that it was a miracle when it was ever there. Elephant 10 Mosaic (India Session Camp) A roasted, smoky scent, as one would expect from his siblings in a camp. Kazbec (storage) This beer runs with a citrus and grapefruit border and follows with a pronounced grapefruit taste. A mild bitterness takes away the tartness of grapefruit.

We were served by Paco. Best waitress on the whole island. The Craft Beer is one of the best I tasted.

I organized a Mini Montreal Beer Tour in September 2016 and that was our first stop. We sat outside on a small terrace built in the street. What a perfect place to see just how the world passes and consume some delicious beer on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. I can't remember what we ordered, but I remember everyone really enjoying it. I mean really enjoy it. We all ordered a sampler of beer and... Wow, all beers were fantastic. I believe the Czech beer was the best.... although this memory can be influenced by the Czech film crew that my wife disregarded for a Czech celebrity. Anyway, after the question of life in 'Czechoslovakia' a few too often the film crew in one cuddle. Look, I know it's not Czechoslovakia anymore and I should have told Czech Republic, but when I went to school, all the maps of Czechoslovakia said. Okay, I understand that the Velvet Revolution is now over 20 years old, and I should really come with the times and respect the fact that the Czech Republic and Slovakia are completely different countries and cultures, etc. But I think that means that no one Dominik Hašek is born in Czechoslovakia as her own, as wikipedia says. The service at the Artisanale Brasserie site was fantastic.
