La Souche Limoilou

As someone who loves craft beer, there are few things I enjoy more than tucking into a tasty meal as I savour my brew. And from what I can tell, I’m not alone. Most fans of craft beer seem to be mighty appreciative of craft breweries that have talent in the kitchen, as well as in the beerhouse. If you’re looking for a good—or even decadent—meal, here’s my list of craft breweries that deliver.

La Souche Limoilou

La Souche Limoilou has it all: great beer brewed onsite, a generous menu of gourmet pub fare, and a cozy interior that feels like a sugar shack. They’ve also done a great job of putting plenty of fresh, local products on the menu and keeping it varied, with plenty of options for meat‑eaters, vegetarians, and even vegans. The poutine with fried cheese curds and beerBQ sauce is a classic. Other favourites include the fish and chips, Chaudaille salad with pecans and goat cheese, and pulled pork sandwich. Not to mention the thin-crust pizzas and hamburgers… Yum!

La Korrigane

Located in the St-Roch district, La Korrigane brews beers in small quantities using artisanal methods... and you can taste the difference! To develop its food menu, La Korrigane also joins forces with small local and regional artisan producers in a desire to act in a sustainable manner. Sweet tooths will love the maple pale ale and fruity beer lovers the blueberry pale ale. We also like their original beer donuts.

La Barberie

The first work cooperative microbrewery in Quebec, La Barberie brews and bottles beers that stand out for their quality. Their magnificent terrace is a favorite place to take life on the bright side. They offer a varied and festive menu, which goes perfectly with their craft beers. Note to families: children are welcome at all times!

Noctem Artisans Brasseurs

Noctem is a brewpub in Saint‑Roch known for its bold, authentic menu and delicious hoppy beer. As you walk through the door, you’ll likely be greeted by the mouth-watering smell of smoked meat, which they buy from a local farmer and smoke onsite. If you’re feeling snackish, I recommend the pork jerky or housemade pizza pocket. For a meal, the Bacon Burger and the chili can’t be beat. And if you’re unmoved by those thick slices of delicious bacon, Noctem also has solid vegetarian options, so you can eat your greens without compromising on taste!

Emporium Microbrasserie

Like pizza? You’ll love Emporium. Their succulent thin‑crust pizzas are baked in an authentic pizza oven imported directly from Italy. That’s right. Not only do they brew excellent beer on site, but they also manage to knock it out of the park with their judiciously constructed pizzas. Our favourite, the “Fondante,” is topped with Migneron, mozzarella, parmesan, and blue cheeses, along with walnuts, pears, and honey. It’s a home run. There are also plenty of nice big salads, should you feel inclined to forego the pizza dough. For appetizers, you’ll find Italian classics like bruschetta, burrata, and polpetta.
