The Top 10 Breweries in Montréal, Québec (2026)
Montréal's craft beer scene is one of Canada's largest and most distinctive — the city gave the country its earliest microbreweries, and its taprooms lean hard into Belgian and mixed-fermentation styles alongside the modern hazy IPA canon. Plateau-Mont-Royal, Mile End, and Rosemont host most of the taproom density. Note that our rankings pull heavily from Google Reviews, which favours French-language reviews from local residents.

What data are these rankings based on?
These rankings combine 10,678 public reviews collected from Google Reviews (via the Google Places API) with reviews written directly on BreweryFinder.ca. Each brewery's score is a Bayesian weighted average that balances rating quality against review volume, so a brewery with 500 reviews averaging 4.7 outranks one with a handful of perfect scores.
How often are the Montréal brewery rankings updated?
Rankings refresh every 30 days when we re-fetch Google Reviews data (Google's Places API terms cap review caching at ~30 days). BreweryFinder community reviews are counted the moment they're posted, so scores can shift between refreshes as new reviews come in.
