“Went to see Dune part 2 last night at this nice theater where alcoholic drinks are available. Only beers from Les trois mousquetaires are available, which it isn’t bad. A nice concept.“

“Did a little detour to find this one, in a remote mall, Place Sagamie. This grocery store will move soon into a new building in the same parking lot. Hopefully giving this place a new life. Not worth the detour.“

“Even more impressive, with some very unique provincial selection. I had to pick about 8 nice BAs, from cider to Belgian ale. Even some odd Europeans. May be even better than Marché Centre-Ville in Chicoutimi.“

“Very nice place, worth the detour, two rows filled with beers, one regional, one provincial. Picked few Bilboquets. Nice selection of meals. Among the bests selection in the region.“

“Visité lors de mon passage dans la région avec ma copine. L’endroit était fermé, mais on a eu le bon réflexe de sonner et quelqu’un est venu nous ouvrir. Dommage que l’on ne peut essayer des produits sur place. Ceci dit, personnel très accueillant.“

“Visited on August 2, 2018 for souper. A cross between a neighbourhood and commercial english pub, still quite comfortable. Very friendly and helpful staff. The majority of the beers on tap can be easily found in many beer stores, but there are some rarities. Because of IPA Day, I had the black IPA, nice. I had a nice cheese burger with IPA relish, because of that day. In all a nice place, although not the most original!“

“Visited on August 2, 2018 in late afternoon. Located in downtown Jonquière, it looks unfinished from the outside, inside has a semi looking dive bar style, not the most welcoming. The service was ok, but they were trying to pack as many as possible on the patio, the vibe itself was kind of semi douche. The beer selection was kind of fine, they have made a lot of over the first four years and still the tap list is mainly standards. I had the regular IPA because it was IPA Day, but it was mostly tasteless. A forgetful place!“

“Nice place with quick service and a very helpful personnel. Selection could have been better but wasn’t too shabby either. Pizzas were great, but quite costly. A very cool brewpub I’ll be sure to visit again when I’m around.“

“Un petit dépaneur/restaurant d’allure banal. Il offre une bonne sélection de bière du Québec. Le propriétaire fait des tournées dans les microbrasseries de la province et par conséquent il offre des produits unique au Saguenay-Lac St-Jean.“

“Nouvelle microbrasserie situé au centre-ville de jonquière. Très belle ambiance, la nourriture est excellente, leur spécialité est la pizza, elle sont excellente! Le service est parfait, on ne peut pas demander mieux, les bières sont très bonne! Seul point positif le menu de bière est assez restreint pour le moment, seulement 7 bières disponibles. Certainement une excellente microbrasserie pour le future, la meilleure dans cette région. Un retour est inévitable!“

“Étant étudiant à Jonquière de 2003 à 2006, la Voie Maltée était mon endroit de prédilection dans la région pour me taper quelques bonnes pintes de qualité. Belle terrasse bondée donnant sur la St-Do l’été, ambiance de pub rustique à l’intérieur, clientèle le plus souvent jeune et enthousiaste. Bon service, et les concoctions brassicoles étaient de premier plan. Peut-être est-ce la nostalgie qui parle, mais la Voie Maltée était (est toujours, j’en suis sûr) une attraction majeure de la région, à ne pas rater, pour les amateurs de bonnes bières.“

“J’y suis aller quelque fois. L’ambiance est bonne parfois la musique un peu trop forte mais sans plus. Le service est assez rapide. Selection restreinte de bière. Les bière sont ordinaire et la nourriture est passable. Bonne valeur qualité prix, mais je ne vais pas la pour la qualité des bières.“

“Établissement visité le dimanche 12 octobre vers 20h30. Ambiance: Brique et boiserie foncé. Musique en sourdine. Service: Notre service était visiblement sous l’effet de subtance illicite, plein d’erreur dans nos commandes et dans les prix. Ça c’est replacé quand elle a changé de section. Sélection: Lors de mon passage il y avait 9 bières maisons, soit 5 régulières et 4 saisonières. Nourriture: Menu style pub disponible mais rien pris. Je préfère de loin l’ambiance du pub de Jonquière plutôt que celle de Chicoutimi. (110e rating d’établissement)“

“Halfway between sports bar and brown bar, this brewpub builds an interesting bridge between styles which still clearly indicates its difference to St-Dominique street partygoers looking for a cheap pitcher of swill. They have many of their own beers on tap (usually 10 or 11), the Criminelle imperial stout being the most impressive. Their regular beers are all very clean if not forgettable. Their Belgian styles used to be distinctive, but have since fallen into the generic treatment their regular beers seem to be getting. Nothing’s not worthy of a pint, but the well-travelled craft beer lover might find them uninteresting. The food is quite good too, the seafood pizza I had was quite tasty, as were the Rouleaux de printemps (spring rolls). They have another location with the same beers in the neighbouring city of Chicoutimi, but the atmosphere there is a lot louder and geared towards hipsters. Too bad you need 2 days off to get there and back from Montreal.“

“A large pub with wood panelled walls, somewhat dark, not that cozy close to the entrance, but in the back it is nice. Nice range of 8 own beers of an OK quality. Friendly staff, bilingural, but I had slight difficulties understanding them, but we were there on a loud night, since there was a concert in the street just outside.“

“Large, dark, pubby establishment with summer patio. Wide range of beers on tap, most of which are fairly well-made but none spectacular. Service was pretty good. The atmosphere was comfortable. Didn’t eat.“

“Large open space, large terrasse. Exposed brick walls and lots of dark wood inside. Wooden tables and comfortable seating that was well-spaced. Not overly crowded despite being quite busy. Smoke level was generally manageable. Very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and bilingual service. Most people here seemed almost eager to practice speaking English. Wide range of well made beers are worth the long trip. Without a doubt, despite the remote location, this is one of the better brewpubs in the province.“

“I totally wasn’t expecting brews of this quality from a place so frickin’ far away, 6 hours from Montreal. 7 regulars on tap, 4 seasonals. I was lucky, they pulled out their best of 2004 to bring in the new year during my last visit (dec2004). A real top notch barleywine, probably the best I had all year, even beating out Dieu du Ciel’s offering. I was shocked. Their Grincheuse Belge Orange is as close to an Orval as you can get outside of Wallonia, and all the other Beers I sampled were just great. One of the owners was quick to show me off all of their awards and rave reviews, while the other one, the brewmaster, was a lot less cocky, and simply gave me a quick tour of his facilities, talked shop a little and let his Beers do the talking for him. They have an industrial permit for the brewery, so you can have growlers filled to go. But they only fill one or two of the regular Beers, not the seasonals. Service was a bit slow, and if you don’t speak french, make sure you have someone in your party that does, because you’re not going to be understood. I agree with Rasta, this place is easily in the top 3 brewpubs in Québec. Too bad it’s sooo damn far away!“

“La Voie Maltée is a very clean bar, looking a lot like a restaurant from the inside with brick walls, rather modern, lots of mostly belgian beer advertising. At the moment, they sell only their bitter for take out in growlers and jam pots, but this may change rapidly as the place is making a name of itself. Last year, they’re said to have brewed a bit over 900 hectoliters, which compares with Dieu Du Ciel in volume. La Voie Maltée is probably second only to DDC as far as Quebec brewpubs are concerned in terms of beer quality. They should always have one of their strong beers for the geeks, but their basics are all well made. Service is beyond remarkable, very flexible and talkative staff makes you feel welcome. Reminds of the Moan and Dove as far as great beer places where you don’t necessarily expect them. After a couple more visits, I’m lowering my rating from 88 to 76. The service has not been flawless all the time, in fact I’ve never seen the same waiter a seond time. The beers have also shows a bit of variability over the years.“
