Everyone wants to know what I drank on New Year’s…
January 2, 2006
Well, I’ll tell you: The best bubbly beverage in the world, spruce beer along with the hands-down best red wine in the world, Mukuzani.
I’ve talked about both of these drinks previously, so I won’t belabor it – but if you live in/around (or visit) Montreal, please support Resto Émile Bertrand.
They have, as far as I know, the only fresh spruce beer in the city.
As for Mukuzani… well, it is the standard by which I judge all other red wines. This bottle had to be specially imported; the local Georgian community has failed me.

spruce beer
I had it there some time last year and it was very good. Totally different from what is available in the supermarket and with a layer of yeast at the bottom. The food was really good too. I’m not a burger person but I did enjoy the one I had there.
Re: spruce beer
They have a reputation for making the best frites in town. I’m not qualified to comment on that, but I do remember overhearing a conversation there once amongst the owners over whether they should shut down for the day since their french fry cutter was on the fritz. That’s pretty serious.
