Microbrasserie Le Fermentor is described as a place with a warm atmosphere, a broad beer selection, and tasty food, with courteous service and a welcoming terrace in summer; the beer is consistently praised as excellent and the overall experience is pleasant, with notes about friendly staff and a lively vibe, a reasonably priced bistro menu including pizzas and nachos, and even board games for guests; some reviews mention slower or uneven service and longer waits, but the location remains favored for its ambience and the ability to bring dogs on the terrace.
It was a very disappointing experience.
We walked in to a mainly empty bar, but every table was reserved.
We found two empty seats at the bar but immediately, the bartender told us they were too busy to serve us (again, the bar had maybe 10 people in it).
She said we can sit outside but we would be waiting a long time.
So, I asked if we could order a beer now & take it outside. She said no, that we had to sit outside & wait.
So we left.
Overall, it was a pretty insulting experience. Just go to one of the other breweries in the region, there are plenty & they will welcome you in a more appropriate way.
Came in on a Saturday afternoon as a party of 4 & waited 10 minutes for someone to seat us with no acknowledgement. There were 3 tables inside & 1 outside seated with people, far from busy. Finally we went up to 2 empty bar seats. Bartender came over to legitimately say if we wanted beers we'd have a wait a long time to be served ('we don't have time to serve you'). We asked if we could order at the bar ourselves & go sit at a table outside & were told the same thing. We left & won't be back.

Endroit agréable & en général les bières y sont bonne ! staff toujours débordé & sa donne que faut être patient pour le services & pour la bouffe oublier ça ! sa prend un éternité & c'est pas terrible ! selon moi l'albion a joliette fait bien mieux côté bouffe & services ! Dommage car j'aime encourager local !
Un lieu convivial que je fréquente très souvent. L'atmosphère est toujours chaleureuse à l'intérieur comme à l'extérieur & j'adore profiter de leur terrasse l'été. Les serveurs & serveuses sont aimable & souriant(e). Il propose un beau menu bistro à prix abordables. Entre autre, les pizzas, sur pain naim & les nachos sont délicieux Il y a une variété de bières pour tout les goûts. Si on le désire, on peut même profiter de quelques jeux de société mis à la disposition des clients. Je recommande cet micro brasserie.
Très bonne bière, mais menu nourriture à désirer aucun hamburger, aucun quesadillas au poulet juste quesadillas au jambon & pepperoni…nachos à partager pas si grand… la terrasse était bien & l'ambiance aussi
