The Annex, inaugurated in 2023, represents our most recent project stemming from the brewery's expansion. Nestled on the mezzanine above it, The Annex provides a privileged view of the tanks and barrels, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of the prohibition era. The adjacent shop allows for the purchase of our cans and merchandise while offering an ideal tasting room for large groups, where one can savor our freshly brewed beers on-site. Additionally, a smoke house kitchen is available to satisfy enthusiasts of this culinary style. The terraces located on Saint-Paul and de La Commune streets, connected to The Annex, provide a space with a beer garden style.

Great location on the water, overlooking the wheel. Great beer selection, lover the two Hazy's I had, 7&11. Chowder would not order again, smoked meat sandwich was really tasty. Recommend this place!
Great beer selection in a taproom among a load of brewery apparatus in ye old town.
Nab some snacks as well.
The pub of the same name is right next door & is rather a class gaff as well with a more traditional setting.
Great staff & service.
One of my favorite beers in town was the Malle... a punchy Belgian style.
Sit inside for the brewery vibes or venture out into the covered setting along the street.
This place offers a solid food experience with standout items like the poutine & wings - both were flavorful, fresh, & definitely worth trying. The beer selection is impressive, with a wide variety of local brews on tap. Unfortunately, many of the beers were not as cold as they should be, which took away from the experience a bit.
Be aware: there's no table service - you order at the counter & bring your own food to the table. It's a casual setup, but the seating is very uncomfortable, with hard chairs that make it difficult to relax & enjoy your meal.
One concern: the brewery area didn't look very clean, especially by food safety standards. Nothing alarming happened, but it's something management should definitely address.
Overall, come for the great food & local beer variety, but be prepared for a DIY, no-frills environment.
Pros: nice patios for people watching, kids tables available. Good selection of beers. Everyone thought the beef brisket was the best of the sandwiches.
Cons: we went as a large group (9 adults, 2 kids). The kitchen was short staffed (we found out afterwards) & food took over 40 mins. However I wish they had just sent out the sides first instead of waiting until everything was ready. Our salads & poutines were lukewarm. Food overall was okay, but you are paying a premium for the location.
As a craft beer enthusiast, BreWskey has been on the wish list for a while. Since I was actually staying downtown, the time had finally come. We did half pints of the Dark Czech Lager, Pink Roots & Imperial P-Nut Buster. The lager was delicious, but the Oatmeat Stout is going to live on in my dreams. Pink Roots was bright & enjoyable. Decent selection of merchandise & cans- though none of the dark lager or stout. It's a cool spot & you should definitely add it to your visit list.
Nice quiet space. Friendly staff & good selection of beers. The food is a letdown however. The mac & cheese is all mac & no cheese. Dry & bland. $16 for a small portion.
