Dieu du Ciel, Montreal, QC: a famous microbrewery responsible for some of Montreal's finest beers

Dieu du Ciel
Montreal, QC, Canada

Montreal is a great beer city with almost as many breweries and brewpubs as Seattle, WA.

For this installment, I move on to a very well-known and quite highly-regarded microbrewery-cum-brewpub in the very heart of the Plateau de Montreal with a very unusual lineup of brews.

Dieu du Ciel is actually fairly difficult to find, even with a good map. It is easy to get disoriented during the six block walk from the Metro Orange Line at Laurier.

The building is in a working class neighborhood and really doesn't look like much from the outside. The server I had spoke English was very helpful and knowledgeable about the beers.

The food here is very limited (sandwiches and nachos) and is prepared by hand at the bar by the bartender. I didn't try the food but everything I saw prepared looked fresh and very good.

All the beers were served at cellar temperatures. There is also a room upstairs that can be rented for overnight stays.
