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.
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++++

Cool vibe at this place. Tons of beers to choose from. IPA's are amazing. Try the smoothies for something different. Great food as well! Dogs allowed which is awesome! A must try!
Great spot! Plays 90s & early 2000s hip hop & serves a large & delicious IPA selection & fresh food. Only wish they had a local cider or more options for people in my party that don't love beer as much as I do.
We had a couple beers & food here yesterday 12.13.25, while visiting from Florida. We tried some IPA's & Blonde's; both were very good. The place was packed & the atmosphere was very lively. Looking forward to stopping in again if we're in Montreal.
Been here a bunch of times, always mid afternoon, I hate to think how busy this place would be on a Friday or Saturday evening.
Definitely on the pricey side even as far as craft beers goes but always delivers. Known for IPAs but also some great lagers & darker beers like Stouts. Food is acceptable beer drinking food. Slightly off the beaten track but a must visit for any one who likes good craft beers.

Une brasserie canadienne qui confirme encore la force de Montréal dans l'univers de la craft beer 🇨🇦✨. Tout y est soigneusement travaillé, avec des IPA absolument délicieuses qui feront fondre n'importe quel amateur de houblon 🍺💚. Une très belle découverte, à ne pas manquer !
Superbe expérience chez Messorem ! L'ambiance est conviviale, la terrasse spacieuse, & le service rapide malgré l'achalandage. Les bières sont originales & très bien maîtrisées - mention spéciale aux IPA & aux sours. J'ai aussi goûté aux tacos, & franchement, ils étaient excellents : bien garnis, savoureux, & parfaitement équilibrés. Le cadre est idéal pour passer un bon moment entre amis ou en famille, & les lieux sont très accueillants (même pour les chiens !). On sent une vraie passion derrière chaque détail, de la bière à la déco. Une adresse que je recommande vivement aux amateurs de microbrasseries locales.
Voilà une microbrasserie distinctive où il fait bon s'arrêter pour savourer l'une de leur excellente bière sur la superbe terrasse extérieure. Des arbres matures, des tables en grand nombre & un atmosphère propice à la détente vous y attendent. Pour la vaste sélection de bières, laissez-vous conseiller au moment de commander. Agréable surprise assurée ! Personnellement je vous recommande les IPA ou les stouts. Elles sont succulentes. Pour votre information, les cyclistes sont plus que les bienvenus. Chiens acceptés également. & DJ sur les lieux de temps à autre.
Awesome gem in Montreal
If you like IPAs that's your spot
Food is also very good
Their indoor garden is a very nice place
If you like terrace st Ambroise you will love this place
Highly recommended
Great outdoor terrace with plenty of space & a nice beer selection (though very IPA focused). Kid friendly, delicious food & awesome music. Highly recommended.
I really love beer & heard from all my friends I had to drop by while visiting from Vancouver. Messorem did not disappoint. We don't get quality NEIPA's out west & the two I tried were some of the best I've ever had! I had an ipa & dipa that were so so so so good!
The barrelled saisons on tap also were fantastic & not to be missed. As a saison lover I was very happy! I also enjoyed a lager (New Zealand?) that was a nice crispi boi to finish off my experience.
Gonna say that this is a MUST TRY stop for any beer lover.
The staff were amazing & helpful in selecting the perfect beers (je ne sais pas lire le francais) & also took some time to chat with me about the brewery & what beers were popular & a specialty.
The industrial location was dope & so glad I got out of the DT, & more gentrified neighbourhoods.
Lastly let's talk about the food. Beers were 10/10 but the smash burger also was one the best I've had & definitely a foodies life goals. It wasn't trying to be anything fancy but a simply perfectly executed smash burger. Tellement incroyable & delicieux! Frites & poutine also deserve an honourable mention!
Anyhow I'll be remembering these beers for a while & begging my Montreal friends to haul some suitcase beers on their next visit out west!
Visited on August 22, 2020, in early afternoon. Located in the upper part of Côte-Saint-Pierre, between the Lachine Canal & Autoroute 15, for cyclist it's half way between McAuslan Brewery & the Atwater Market. The brewery is next the a aqua (with some white & rust) water tower, which explains the colors on the logo. Street parking only. They are in a former industrial building, with graffitis that was there before they opened. Quit a large patio with aqua picnic tables & a few Adirondack/Muskoka chairs. The inside has a long bar, a few lounge sofas, not much more sitting places because of COVID-19 (not stools at the bar for now), it looks industrial with a few art works. Because of the pandemic, service is at the bar only. Quit a small food menu, a few mexican stuff, some hot dog & snacks. More than a dozen, maybe 20ish beers on tap. You know the saying "variety is the spice of life", well you won't find it here, about 90% of the taps are some forms of hazy IPA, there are a few gose (sour salty ales) & a larger, but that is it. Fans of the New England style will be happy, until they are pass that phase!
Tough to find a better IPA in Montreal. Them & BreWskey are top tier. They should really sell single cans & mix packs though. All other top breweries do it. Gotta remove 1 star until they fix that
