Beer lovers rejoice! There’s a free tasting event at Time Out Market Montréal—home to some of the best chefs and restaurants in the city under one roof—from one of our favourite local microbreweries: Wills.
Every month the Market puts the spotlight on one of our favourite microbreweries in the Beer Bar, and this September Wills is in the limelight.
When is the free beer tasting at Time Out Market Montréal?
Don't miss the official tasting day on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Beer Bar at Time Out Market Montreal (one of the Market’s 7 bars).
You'll have the opportunity to meet the brand ambassador during happy hour and learn from their expertise while sipping on brews from Wills beer.
What makes Wills beer so unique?
Launched by Ethan and Alex Wills, the microbrewery-bar Wills opened in the former Mile-Ex Alexandraplatz location, is all about producing skillfully crafted beers in a range of complexity and flavour profiles.
The two cousins made their long-standing dream of opening a microbrewery come true during the pandemic, offering craft beer, natural wine, and house cocktails—plus a tasting room.
The sleek, elegant space, designed by Annika Krausz, channels European refinement with a terrasse made for sipping hop-forward pale ales, lagers, and Pilsners.
What beers will be available at the Market?
The three Wills beers featured at the Market are:
Helles Bright Lager
This German-style Helles lager has a delicate cereal aroma complemented by subtle herbaceous hop notes, finishing dry with a gentle, refreshing bitterness.
Hugo Blanche Witbier
A crisp, refreshing Witbier with bright notes of pear, candied banana, and a hint of clove. Crafted for every season—but perfect for the warmth of late summer.
Eloise IPA
This juicy IPA is bursting with mango and citrus, layered with aromatic hints of tropical and stone fruits.
What else is happening at Time Out Market Montréal?
