If beer tastings and brewery tours are your ideal way to spend a relaxing vacation, pack your bags for an unforgettable and tasty trip to Quebec. With over 300 breweries you’re bound to find a pint or four that quench your thirst.

Here are some of our favorites:

Montreal:

Looking for a neighborhood pub that mixes great food plus brews from all over Quebec? Isle de Garde in Montreal’s Rosemont neighborhood is the perfect stop. If you are looking for arguably the best beer crafted in town, head to Dieu du Ciel (God of the sky), a must try.
