Brutopia

Montréal


This fantastic brewpub has eight varieties of suds on tap, including honey beer, nut brown and the more challenging raspberry blonde – all with ingredients from Québécois farms. The brick walls and wood paneling are conducive to chats among the student crowd. Live blues bands play nightly (from 10pm). Things pick up after the night classes from nearby Concordia get out.
