My brother is heading to Montreal on the weekend and I am putting in a beer order with him.
My list so far:
peche
grande norcier
Dunham Leo's breakfast
Moralite (is this fresh now?)
Do you guys have any suggestions that are currently on the shelves around Montreal? Looking for saisons, barley wines, stouts. What's a must try beer from ltm? I think he's just going to peluso unless there's a really good brewery he should try too.

Barleywines are out of season, but you never know, there may still be some old Solstice left over. Stouts, Chernoe Pivo came out again this year and there should still be some left. Its very heavily carbonated though so you'd have to decant it for it to settle down.
Saisons though are all over the place. Saison Brux, Saison Sure (A la fut), Saison Zeste (Castor),
Moralité is an regular now, and it gets released every week or so. So it will be fresh.

grande noirceur might be hard to find, I think it is a seasonal release (winter?)
you should grab some DDC - Disco Soleil as well

Might be hard to find due to end of season for this, but it was one of the more memorable (in a good way) Quebec beers I have had in a while.
*edit and +1 for the Disco Soleil. Haven't seen it bottled though...

I would ask for about 24 DDC Aphrodisiaque*, the stout made with cacao nibs and vanilla bean. I also like the Blanche and the Blonde made by Charlevoix (Dominus Vobiscum series) - exceptional but maybe not beer styles you're looking for.

^ good prices for Quebec seasonals.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had Yakima last year and found it to be nice but not a stand out to mule back from pq. I like aphro a lot, and actually I'll probably get some to send to my buddy in Texas who loves it. Disco soleil sounds good, hopefully he can find some bottles.
Hey Ian, that barrel aged trippel you sent me was outstanding! Thanks again!

I had an Oatmeal Stout from Castor once that stood out. It was very good and had that super silky mouthfeel that oatmeal stout brewers chase and never reach.

Was a few weeks ago. Lots of it was floating around Gatineau, no idea how much is left in Montreal.
