Reviews describe Messorem as a lively craft brewery with a vast beer list, standout IPAs, and a welcoming, energetic vibe. The large outdoor terrace and a heated indoor space provide ample seating year round, and the canal-side setting with plenty of picnic tables makes it a must stop for summer cyclists. Food is pub style and solid, with favorites like buffalo chicken poutine and a smash burger, though some would like more sauce options or greater variety. The atmosphere is family- and dog-friendly, and big screens for hockey games add to the convivial mood. Service is friendly and efficient, but peak times can mean long lines at the bar and, in some areas, no table service. Merch, design, and a strong brewing program further elevate Messorem as a top spot for beer lovers, especially in the summertime.
Great bar with a huge, nice terrasse.
Bike parking for those riding the canal.
Good selection of beer, mostly IPAs but enough variety for every taste.
The smoothie beer & slushi beer are both absolutely delicious & refreshing.
Basically you can't go wrong with this place.

Awesome spot with a vibrant feel. The beer is amazing & the food is excellent. Service was friendly & spoke English even in a French area (appreciated). Hope I can get back to try more!
The beer is so good here. They have like a dozen different A+ hazies, some fruity options, & some non hazy styles. I enjoy the popcorn chicken poutine. They have a nice outdoor area & play great old hip hop. I love this brewery.
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.

Excellent beer, especially their sours! Their beer slushes during the summer are also highly recommended. Both the fish & chips & popcorn chicken were also awesome.
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++++
