At La Souche, wood is everywhere and it creates an intimate and warm atmosphere throughout the establishment. There is a wide selection of beers and the sour style is often very well represented and pleasantly well mastered.

If you like juicy and balanced IPA-style beers, you must visit Noctem which makes them excellently. They also master several other styles of beer. It is a must to taste their authentic and original cuisine, which diffuses the smell of smoked meats throughout the room.
The place is dotted with decorations where cats -the emblem of the microbrewery- are in the spotlight. But, back to basics, you'll taste excellent, rigorously crafted beers.

The Griendel is a gathering place in the Montcalm district (with 24 kinds of microbrewery beer on tap, we can easily understand why!). lt will please you with its extensive menu of beers, a few guest lines and a slate overflowing with tasty dishes.
