Dieu du Ciel!

Dieu du Ciel! is a brewpub at 29 Avenue Laurier Ouest in the Mile End neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Founded in 1998, it is one of Quebec's best-known craft breweries and pours its own beers on draft, which makes it a reference point for anyone interested in the province's craft beer scene. The crowd is a mix of beer enthusiasts, Mile End locals, students, couples and visitors, mostly adults of all ages, and the dress code is casual. The atmosphere is relaxed, convivial and unpretentious, centred on the beer rather than on spectacle, and music is incidental. The drinks programme is built on the brewery's house craft beers, with Péché Mortel, an imperial coffee stout, singled out as a signature. Dark, strong and coffee-forward beers sit alongside lighter styles on the draft list, so the menu appeals both to stout lovers and to those who prefer something crisper. Prices are mid-range, around two dollar signs, which is reasonable for craft beer in Montreal. There is no cover charge. Hours are in the evenings, and Quebec bars may serve alcohol until 3:00 AM, though visitors should verify current opening times before travelling. No reservation link is listed here, and pubs of this type usually seat on a first-come basis, so groups should arrive early on Friday and Saturday nights when the room is busiest. The venue's website, dieuduciel.com, carries information on the current beer list. The Avenue Laurier address is close to Parc Laurier, Boulevard Saint-Laurent and Mile End's cafes and bakeries, and the Laurier metro station is a short walk away, so the pub fits easily into an evening exploring the neighbourhood. Weeknight early evenings are the quietest time to sample several beers in comfort.
