Messorem is widely celebrated for its massive beer list and craft focus, with reviewers calling it a top spot for IPAs, lagers, stouts, and sours and noting that the beer quality lives up to the hype even when lines can form during peak times, with some praise for inventive drinks like beer smoothies. The food scene gets praise too, with standout smash burgers and poutines mentioned alongside other tasty offerings, though some reviews say the kitchen could push further, and a few note the food is decent rather than extraordinary. The atmosphere comes through as a major draw: a cool industrial space with a large outdoor terrace, dog and bike friendly, frequent music that sets a lively vibe, and a welcoming staff that is described as friendly, efficient, and helpful, even when crowded. Family and friends enjoy the social, casual feel, with plenty of merch to browse and a strong sense of community around the place. While prices can be on the higher side, the overall experience is described as worth it for beer lovers visiting Montreal, and the option to enjoy the heated patio in colder months or the terrace in summer makes it a go-to during both seasons.
Summer time is better since the gigantic terrasse is open. But they still have an enclosed area which is heated & offers more sitting space.
Food is bar style, so don't expect a grandiose culinary experience, but it is well adapted. I'd see to have the same sauce options for chicken popcorn than the wings, though.
Extremely varied IPA style beers & some other good options if IPA is not your forté, like me.
They put the hockey games on a big screen when the Canadiens play.
Amazing micro-brewery with a vast selection of home brewed beers. They also have some very nicely designed merch. Large indoor space, but the outdoor patio really is what sets Messorem apart. At least a dozen oicnic tables available all year long. They are located at approx 50meters from the nicest bike path in town (Canal Lachine), which makes them a must-stop during a summer bike trip. The ambiance is super friendly, & they accept kids. No reason not to go!
Only downside is they dont have table service.
This was our first stop coming to Montreal from the states & it did not disappoint. Walking in the unassuming factory exterior we were greeted with a vibrant taproom & live plants. The bartenders were great to talk to about the different beers. We then tried the buffalo chicken poutine & smash burger neither of which disappointed. Being from New England, Messorem makes hands down the best New England style IPA I have tasted. None of their beers we tried were less than a 4/5. We loved this place so much we came back on our last night in the city & had an equally amazing time. Great place for watching the Habs too! Highly recommend to any craft beer fan coming to Montreal. A++++

Vraiment super! Bières excellentes mais ils ne font pas de palettes de dégustation comme beaucoup d'autres brasseries donc on ne peut pas autant découvrir de leur variété.

La meilleure bière artisanale, la meilleure gang, la meilleure bouffe artisanale, le meilleur chez-soi, dans la meilleure ville. J'aimerais vivre ici. ♥?
Best craft beer, best crew, best craft food, best crib, in the best city. Wish I lived here. ♥?
Stopped by Messorem for a quick pint with my friend & was pleasantly surprised by the very open & comfortable room, the long & extensive beer list, the friendly service & great suggestions offered to us right away, & of course the cool variety of merch available. The music set a great vibe, only played bangers. Didn't get to try the food but it looked very good. Would definitely recommend the #15 stout & will be back to enjoy another beer in the heated outdoor area or in the summer for the terrasse.
Belle microbrasserie. Plusieurs choix de bières en fut & plusieurs produits en canettes &/ou produits dérivés pour apportez. Les prix sont raisonnables. Ils auraient avantage par contre à vendre des canettes à l'unité au lieu de 4x473ml.
