I`ll probably go to Atwater (anywhere else I should go) But what`s in season right now that I absolutely must bring home...

There are always lots of very appealing French Canadian women in Montreal. Not sure if they are "in season" but if I were young and single I'd consider bringing one home!

considering I'll be on my honeymoon, probably not the best idea - anymore...

Try something different - L'Abri de la Tempette Scotch Ale - a tad pricy but a very good scotch ale. Otherise I recommend the usual LTM Bombers or DDC suspects.
Grab a few cupcakes from the cupcake place by the Cathedral in Old Montreal and earn a brownie point or two with the new wife. I find my beer transgressions are usually forgiven with a trip there.

Beer-wise, anything Hopfenstark, Trou du Diable, Boquebiere's Hildegard, and any Dieu du Ciel/Charlevoix/Chouape youve never tried!

The patio is open at St. Ambroise - not too far from Atwater. New fresh IPA on tap. Cheers!

One of my favorite cities to visit.
If you have a car you are at one heck of an advantage. Hopfenstark is about 25 minutes from Montreal and Trou du Diable is about 90 minutes or so. Both are worth it but Shawinigan is kinda far and there are very few places to stay in L'Assomption. Peluso is a very easy drive from the downtown, as is DDC, and Le Grand Duc is pretty accessible off the island. I've heard many horror stories about montreal traffic but I find it far more driveable than downtown Toronto.
My typical Montreal trip includes an evening between DDC and Vices et Versa, along with a trip to Peluso and a quick stop at the Cupcake place in Old Montreal and a sandwich to go at the Deli before the drive home.
