Ya BlackEleven it was you, I wanted to say BlackArcher for some reason but knew I was wrong. Trip was great, I got to hit up L'Amere Boire, they had I think 25 beer on tap including an American IPA and a double IPA, both were great. The staff hated us except the one bartender (she had spent a summer in Sask learning English) so my buddies didn't want to stay very long. I eventually won over one of the non english speaking bartenders and he showed me their book of all the beer, was really cool to look at.
We left there and went to Dieu du Ciel and I was expecting it to be even worse, but they were actually very very nice and described all the beer to me. It was then I realised that we had these in Saskatoon at our speciality store, but as you said in a pint instead of a bottle is always so much better.
During the day (since it was a lot closer to where we were staying) we hit up Les 3 Brasseaurs (their red was nothing special but the poutine was great) and Brutopia (had a great IPA and he was mixing their brown and honey lagers for us to make Sleemens look like absolute crap).
Overall the trip was great, French girls are really nice, and aggressive :P I think the coolest place we were (including Entourage, 1234, some posh place right across from our hotel on Piel and all those pubs) was by far Distillery. The drinks were really cool and it had a great atmosphere in a small venue that allowed us to thrive Sunday night
The entire town thought we were Military in our Top Gun costumes that we ended up wearing out all three nights instead of just one.. and the American flags on our shoulders were probably why we got the cold shoulder in the french district. Or maybe it was just because we spoke English.
Thanks again for the tips, I never would have found those places without your help.
