Visited for the first time September 27, 2009 at noon. It opened at noon, but their hours are not indicated, it would help! Very large, lots of tables and well lit, a nice place. The best part is next to the Quebec City-Lévis ferry. There were eight beers on tap, I do not know what format was available, or even if there were tastings formats, although I gave up tasters at brewpubs. The two that I hade were o.k., food looks pre made but nice.

Besides the ferry ride this place has not a lot to offer. The beer was average at best, there is no view of old town Quebec and who serves a Pogo without mustard.

Still in it’s first year so there is still hope. The ferry was nice across the river from Quebec City. Big open place. The food seems all premade that can be heated. Small thin crust pizzas, sandwiches and Pogos. First restaurant that I can recall a corn dog on the menu. Someone ordered one and did not get mustard. The beers are hopefully still a work in progress.

Visited fall 2008, a few months after its opening. A large pub that can probably sit over 100 people. High-ceilings and a bit on the modern side. Staff and owners are pretty young and the place is not your uncle dirty tavern so I expect this place will probably draw a younger crowd. No meals, only snacks, when I was there but I was told it was in the plans. No patio, unfortunate since you can see the Chateau Champlain from the back of the building. 7 beers on the menu when I was there including one cask. All beers were clean with no problems but most were a bit bland. Not a bad start at all, just as good if not better than the early days of some of my now favourite brewpubs. Looking forward to sampling them again. IMPORTANT NOTE FOR TOURISTS: There is a traverse that runs all year round, leaves from the old-Quebec port every 20 or 30 minutes and will drop you on the other side of the river just a few blocks away from Le Corsaire. Cheap too.

High-ceilings brewpub with a top view on the Old Quebec. Just out of the ferry station. Apt use of glasses and mirrors make the whole place seem very large. Rather young crowd, apparently mostly students on a saturday evening. They had 10 beers on tap during our visit and all were clean while a couple were original and most interesting. Quebec has never been too lucky with the quality of its neighborhoods brewpubs, but this newcomer already seems to be the star of the lot.

Établissement visité le jeudi 28 août vers 12h. Ambiance: Très jolie brasserie avec de haut plafond et vue sur les cuves. Par les grandes vitres arrières on a une jolie vue sur Québec de l’autre côté du fleuve. Service: Extrêment sympathique et le serveur connaissait très bien ses bières. Sélection: Lors de mon passage 7 bières maisons et 1 cidre étaient disponible. Nourriture: Nous avons pris la tourtière au bison et la foccacia aux asperges et chèvre. Les deux accompagnés d’une petite salade bien ordinaire avec vinaigrette aux concombres. (105e rating d’établissement)

I really liked this local. Its in a former post office building, right next to the ferry building. The place has been renovated with taste and offer a terrasse with a view on the Chateau Frontenac. Service was attentive. The menu is small but hits the spot, with pizzas, fougasse, sandwich, nachos (very good), cheese and paté platters. Plenty of other restaurants in the immediate vicinity. The pub has now 9 taps and 2 casks (1 is still in standby). Overall, one of the better place in the old capital.

This brand new brewpub is large and shiny, aiming for an inviting equilibrium of the classy and the casual. Apart from 6 or so taps at any given moment, they might have up to 2 casks available. The brewer is passionate about English real ale, so you can expect some nice sessionable pints to be served from these hand pumps. One of the other owners is a coffee nut and torrefies his own beans. This brewpub is going to be a fun detour from Quebec City.
