Post Marathon Celebration, good luck to those running tomorrow!

Hello Everyone,

Good luck to everyone running tomorrow, whether it's Montreal or Ottawa.  However, if you are in Montreal and crave a real beer (the Michelob Ultra at the end of the race will not count at all), we will be celebrating properly @ 3 Brasseurs on St. Denis starting around 12pm.  For more info and a list of who else might be showing up, check out the meetup page, http://www.meetup.com/Montreal-Beer-Runners/events/141478782/

Don't let the sun and temperature fool you, it's still beer running season

Hey everyone, sorry it's been a little while but we've just been having too much fun with the weather.  Yes, it's cooling off and the sun is starting to come down a bit earlier, but we still have ideal conditions for our beer runs, even if the terraces are starting to close up.  We still have some of the best bars in the city to hit before the weather takes its true turn, so c'mon out to Hurley's Wednesday and join in on the fun.

Special Thursday Run with Fishtown Beer Runners

So I am very excited to announce that some members of the original beer runners, the Fishtown Beer Runners, will be joining us in Montreal for Labor  Day weekend.  As a result, we have organized an additional special run Thursday evening for the whole group to join up and mingle.  It's also a great way to burn some additional calories and prep for a weekend trip to Chambly for their annual beer festival.  Be on the lookout for an MBR organized trip on the weekend there.

Hoooooooooottttttttttttt one

Gonna be a hot one tonight people, make sure to hydrate well BEFORE the run, the after is already a given.  The path tonight will take us on the nicely shaded mountain trail, so it won't be too terrible.

New in Montreal? Come meet some new people the easy way...drinking!

Well it's now a month past the big July 1 move in day, so if you happen to be someone new to Montreal and trying to figure out how to spend the rest of the summer before the hibernation starts to kick in, we're the group for you.  We have seen tremendous growth this summer but certainly are more than happy to keep welcoming newcomers.  August again promises to take us all over the city to some of the best bars in town, and some of the nicest terraces.  We'll see you on Wednesday nights.

If you want to get an idea of who's coming for Beer Runners, you can always check out our Meetup group at www.meetup.com/montreal-beer-runners.

Only day without rain in forecast, come take advantage

So as we wrap up an odd July here, we seem to continue to be spared on Wednesday nights for the inclement weather (minus last week a bit, but we had a great plan B).  If you're starting to get in gear for the upcoming Montreal Marathon or Half in September, this is the way to deliver a solid run every week.  We keep growing by leaps and bounds, but always have room for more.

Happy Canada Day- July runs are up!

Hello my Canadians and non-Canadians alike (yes, there are plenty of both that show up),

Happy of happiest Monday's, a great holiday weekend in typically the most fun month of the year.  We look forward to holding our end of the bargain in that expectation for this month with 5, yes 5, awesome destinations.  Come see every corner of the city, and even venture into parts typically overlooked for some of the best beers, and best people.

We hope to see you at 7, and we'll hold off the rain like we did all of June.

How long will the streak stay alive?

Wow, well I guess since I haven't jinxed us yet, I get to comment again about another run with wonderful weather for tomorrow.  23 and sun is about as good as you can get.  So if you're a first timer, this is a great day to start, Brasseur de Montreal has a fantastic terrace and we'll be there to soak up every ounce of this wonderful night!

Weather Gods must like us

Well, just when you thought we would never have the rain stop, it clears up just for Wednesday night.  We sadly won't have a terrace tonight with HELM, but it should still be a great run, plus we're getting so big now I am reserving space in advance to make sure we actually get in the door!  We'll see everyone at 7.

Welcome to June!

Ok people, it's now summer.  Time to stop the excuses, get out of the office and take advantage of the next 6 weeks (ok, maybe a bit more) before the snow starts falling again.  We're kicking off the month in a big way...an awesome run all the way down the canal to Brasserie McAuslan, home of St. Ambroise beers.  Every bar this month is going to follow up the same way, we're going big for the terraces and the best beers the city has to offer.  Check out all  the destinations and we'll see you at Tam Tams on Wednesdays, still 7PM.

Terrace Season is now officially Open

Well after a full week of the most amazing weather everyone has accepted that it is now summer, or at the very least the beginning of terrace season.  We are very excited to take full advantage and will start calling bars in advance to prepare space for us so that we can take advantage of every Wednesday.  Thanks to everyone that is coming out to grow the club and we will be making some serious impressions on the whole city very soon with our group.

Woohoo May! We love the weather

Well I think it's time we deserved a week like this, great looking weather keeping in the low 20's is really going to be perfect for our runs the next couple of weeks.  To celebrate the fact, we have assembled a month full of our favorite destinations, including a few great terraces. 

We've been very excited by our growth already this year, and continue to invite all runners and new people to the city looking for a great social club to join us.  Remember, there's no obligation to run as far or as fast as anyone else, the beer you drink at the end will taste the same no matter what.

Weather is turning in our favor

How's 12 and sunny sound for a good running night?  Well that's the forecast for Wednesday and I can't think of a better way to spend it than running and watching the Habs with a few beers and a few friends. 

Our destination this week may be a bit smaller but we will do our best to make sure that they have room for us.  Get ready for some great beers and good food in this little NDG pub.

This is gonna be a big year

Well if I'm reading the signs correctly it looks like this is gonna be a big year for us.  We've gotten a huge outpouring of interest from people all over the city for this season, so much so that some destination bars may have to be changed to accommodate our size.

Weather should be ok for Wednesday, possible rain but if anything it should be light.  We'll see everyone at the base of the statue at 7 (we will leave by 7:10 latest, if you're going to be late you can try to find us on the mountain or just do your own thing and meet at the bar around 7:30-7:45).

April Destinations Up- Official 1st run of 2013

Welcome everyone to the official 2013 Montreal Beer Runners schedule!  While it may be a chilly start for the season, it promises to be quite the year for us.  We are looking to spread the word of our mission this year, so we've stepped up our presence to do so. 

Here are our other resources for getting the word out to the community at large:

Meetup.com (free, great resource for anyone)- http://www.meetup.com/Montreal-Beer-Runners/ 
Facebook (c'mon, everyone uses this)- https://www.facebook.com/groups/392120524189223/

We love our first destination, Brasserie Cherrier, and they have been good to us since we started.  Please remember to bring cash, and bring an appetite for the great kitchen of Flamme!

Running doubtful for Wednesday, guaranteed for April 3rd

Well the weather forecast does seem to be fluctuating on a daily basis right now, but given the amount of melting snow and possibility for more rain/snow between today and Wednesday, we most likely won't be running this week.  I am hereby guaranteeing though that we will start April 3rd, rain or shine (there can't be more snow, right?).  We will start with some quick, easy runs to get everybody back into the groove, but do expect the recommended routes to get a bit longer this year compared to last.

Again, please remind your friends/co-workers/anyone who is a beer drinker or advocate of using their feet that this is one of the best clubs in the city.  We are looking to spread the word to all corners of the city this year and get people out enjoying the experience.

Was gonna say let's run tomorrow, but....

I was excited all weekend with the prospect that we could actually get a run in tomorrow, but with the temperature expected to be around 0 at 7PM with 40% of rain, I think we may have to wait just a bit longer.  Regardless, get yourselves to Hurley's tomorrow night for a St. Patrick's Day warmup, we'll be sure to at least get one good car bomb in!

Welcome March, goodbye snow?

Well people, it looks like hopefully we've gotten past the worst of what winter can offer.  It's now time for sugar shacks, less ice, and hopefully more running.  While we're not gonna be so dumb as to jump the gun and get running quite yet, we could be looking at starting around the end of the month if things progress as they are.

In the meantime, we've got a few great bars lined up for the month.  The first few may not be as runner friendly, so we want to get them out of the way sooner than later.  Hurley's will be our St. Patty's warm-up, so for those that want to be good and ready for the weekend this is the best way to get your practice in.

Ideas will be kicking around soon about shirts, new members, new destinations, and the whole lot.  Come join us and give your input, and let's make it a great summer to run.

Off the beaten path, but totally worth it!

Well hopefully the snow should diminish by tonight, but even if it doesn't the temperatures will stay mild (comparatively), which is good because tonight's destination is a bit off the beaten path.  Brasseurs de Montreal is a wonderful brewpub/brewery location at the bottom of Guy below Notre-Dame, so best bets for metro are Lucien l'allier or Georges Vanier.  Even better, there is the 57 bus that runs along Guy from St. Catherine's or the 107 going down Peel that will get you close as well.

February Destinations are up, all over the city

Well let's hope the worst of the weather is behind us, but with February one never knows.  Regardless, we're still hopping all over the city, checking out a full slate of new bars this month that promise to be quite the mix.  We are focusing on metro-friendly destinations, therefore I believe only one bar requires more than a 5 minute walk from any metro, but trust me, it's worth it.
