Gatineau - bottle purchases
The IGA on St. Joseph past Jean-Proulx is really starting ramp up their craft beer selection. It's the closest grocery store to my work so I'm in there often.
But they picked up BDT when they started bottling, now there is Bilboquet, Abri de la Tempete and La Lievre. Prices are consistent with Omni and Broue-ha-ha

La Brulerie has the unique advantage of selling beer earlier in the day than anyone else as they are a coffee shop. Helped one time I left Ottawa before 9am and wanted to get beer before heading home!Ceecee wrote:Has anybody else tried La Brulerie on St. Joseph? I went last summer and a few of the bottles I bought were past the expiry date. Just wondering if it's worth my time to give it another shot.

We have not seen Quelque Chose in these parts in many years. Someone else can verify, but I think they only sell it to the US market now.
Terrible is easy to find. Omni had a full display of them on sale for $7.99 the last time I visited.
I went to Broue Ha Ha myself last week and got
Dunham Black IPA
Dunham APA
Simple Malt Cascade
Orléans Joseph Bellarmin
LTM Doppelbock

Popped into Marche Omni, was somewhat disappointed with their selection; maybe the holiday rush has been good to them?
Regardless, popped over to Depanneur Rapido and they had a great selection- DDC Grande Noirceur, numerous christmas beers (Dunham, LTM), St Ambroise RIS (no vintage yet though) and
Hopfenstark beers- Higgs Boson, Station 16 and Assoiffe
Not sure if this will be a permanent thing but it's pretty cool.
Actually they had a bunch of Dunham beers that will be part of a very big haul after christmas.

Was quickly into the new beer store in the Aylmer mall... Bière du monde or something? Was ok. Staff seemed enthusiastic. Selection, at a quick glance, didn't seem to be quite as good as BroueHaha, but not that far behind either. If it was closer to me than Brouehaha, I think I would go there instead depending on a special release here and there.
