This place is a bit of a legend in the Quebec beer world. Maybe one of the first convenience stores to convert almost entirely to having the most possible different Quebec beers in stock. They have ridiculous amounts of everything released, and receive beers from pretty much every brewery that does bottles. This being said, the place is quite messy and not very fun to shop in. It’s dirty, there is a lot of old beer on the shelves and it is difficult to know what is fresh. A few years ago, you could dig around a bit and find treasures, but that hasn’t happened to me in a while. There isn’t anything beer-related located close to this place, so you might just be better off shopping in Quebec City. It does have everything though.

This store is like an old, small mom and pop grocery store (which it was) that is completely filled to the brim with as much beer as you can fit in this country. The aisles are tight, but that’s okay because the beer selection is the best I may have ever seen in a bottle shop!! (This is relative to what is available in Canada.) Maxime served me some phenomenal beer two years in a row at this fine establishment when I came to visit on a field trip. The service from him and his friends was amazing. He explained how the 2 owners have just brought in the best selection of beer in the country making it impossible to spend less than $250 at this wonderful place.

One of the best place around Quebec City to buy special beers.

This place has a good choice of beers but not what they advertise. The owner was very nice and helpfull, but the place is to small and crowded.

Un viritable entrepos de bière, ce n’est même pas un dépaneur. Comme ça été mentionné dans les autres opignons, c’est des montagnes de caisses de tout sorte, micro et macro, très peu d’espace à marché. Mais plus IMPORTANT à savoir, les gars N’ONT PAS PLUS DE 475 SORTES DE BIÈRES(à date) et ils vont venir à le regrèté. Par contre, ce n’est pas tout mauvais. Ils ont beaucoup de les mêmes sortes, donc tu peux facilement t’acheté une caisse de 12 X 500 ml, 660 ml ou 750 ml. de ce qi’ils ont, et beaucoups de bières exclusives pour leur magasin!

Établissement visité le 7 août vers 16h. Ambiance: C’est ma première visite à cet endroit, et je suis d’accord avec Goldorak, il ne faut pas claustrophobe pour apprécier l’endroit. Des piles et des piles de caisses partout, un petit labyrinthe de rangée très étroite et plein de bières partout. Service: Le service est excellent, on m’a conseillé plusieurs nouveautés et le personnel connaît très bien les bières. Sélection: Je crois, qu’au Québec, c’est l’endroit avec le plus de diversité, toute les microbrasseries du québec y sont présente. (21e rating d’établissement)

No need to repeat what has been said in the other two ratings made to date. I can only add that Danny the owner and his right hand man Guillaume seem to be quite knowledgeable and most helpful when it comes to craft beers. Danny is the one who slowly and gradually introduced me to the wonderful world of craft beers. Some of my friends are also starting their “journey” to this store. This “dépanneur” store may not be the most fashionable place around but I go in there for one reason only : craft beers. And my needs and requirements as a customer are being met.

This place isn’t for claustrophobics. It’s wall-to-wall Beer, jam-packed everywhere. As you walk in, one of the staff asks if you’d like to try something out. Today they were featuring Riva’s Beers, so I went for a Straffe Hendrick brune.
If it’s legal for sale in Québec, and if it isn’t retired, chances are they have it. And if it’s retired, ask Dany, the owner, to show you the goodies he’s got hidden behind the cigarettes, you might find something good. They had plenty of Edition 2004 left, and regular bombers were 3 for 13$, a good deal. And note to ClarkVV: This place is the real swill heaven.
Watch out for quality, with this amount in stock, a lot of brews may have been sitting there for a long time. And prices vary wildly. The special edition Fin du monde bottles were 44$, I bought mine for at least 10 bucks cheaper.

Pay no attention to the beer list on their webpage. They don’t have any of the retired Unibroues listed. But they do have a great selection, and probably are correct in saying that it’s the best selection in Canada. Pretty cluttered - there’s about a two foot clearance between stacks of beer cases to get through the main door! But they had everything that Metro Joanette had and more, plus a better selection of glasses. To give some perspective of what they had that Joanette didn’t when I was there (I will also mention that I was at Joanette the day after the Mondiale festival ended so I’m assuming that festival goers had cleaned out some of their stock), they still had plenty of McAuslan Vintage 2000 and 2001, Unibroue 2004 and several Ephemeres, and Liefman’s Kriek and Frambozen.
