Beer Ye! Beer Ye!

First of all, happy new year ! As we were all to tired from the holidays to host, we met up at the amazing Isle de Garde (if you don’t know this place, please go) for our 39th Beerstitution.

Theme & Venue:

• Isle de Garde: A fine brewery in Rosemont-La petite patrie, walking distance from Metro Beaubien. They opened 3 years ago and are super popular. They have their own beer but also more than 20 microbrewery beers which makes us happy. PS The food is also delicious.
• No theme, we are wild. We chose six beers to try and let me tell you their flights were big!
