The best shops and dépanneurs in Montreal for beer delivery and takeout

This beer boutique in Pointe-Saint-Charles should be one of the first names that should come to mind if you want great microbrews brought straight to your door. They’ve recently launched their delivery service which will bring out orders as far as Rosemont, the Plateau and Hochelaga—so really, where won’t they go? Just visit their website to check out the selection (link below).

We love this boutique because it's perfect for your next happy hour: Located on Monk Boulevard in Ville-Émard, there are more than 200 different beers neatly arranged inside a huge custom-designed fridge, several Quebec ciders and wines, and a small section of cheeses, charcuterie, and coffees from Montreal microbreweries, as well as a freezer filled with magnificent seafood from the Gaspé Peninsula. Pretty much a one-stop snacking and sudsy shop.

With three boutiques located in the Sud-Ouest, in the Plateau  on Mont-Royal, as well as on the South-Shore in Saint-Bruno, plus an evening delivery service if ordered before 4 p.m.? You don't need many more reasons to drink (and snack) from the palm of Quebec's hand via Peluso. In addition to an impressive selection of beers from Quebec microbreweries, you'll also find wines, ciders, kombucha, sausages, chips, olives, cheeses and much more to enhance your evening. Santé!

A response to the pandemic from the team behind some of the city's best cocktail bars, Coldroom and El Pequeño, Dépanneur BFCB is a response to the forced closure of bars that lasted months during Montreal's pandemic lockdowns. It's a beautiful pivot: A bespoke shop with a Quebec-only inventory of speciality microbrews, wines and cider and same night delivery if ordered before 4 p.m. Since they've started, the inventory is only getting bigger, and they're looking to give you a nicely curated experience if you're looking to explore new flavours. Dive in!

Our advice before visiting one of the two locations of Expérience Bière (one in the Village and the other in Plateau Mont-Royal) would be to not arrive thirsty. If you are, it's at your own risk, because you're in a Quebecois drinking paradise here. Take advantage of the snack section to give any evening some oomph as well.
