End of Running Season, check the sideboard for new details

So looking at Wednesday's weather I'm gonna go ahead and officially call it now........we have hit the end of running season.

We are now simply the Montreal Beer Drinkers (name can be tweaked), meaning that we will simply be meeting at our destination bars at 8:30 rather than running at 7. Destinations to come tonight.

Important Notice regarding Brasserie Cherrier!

FYI people, it's also CASH ONLY for the BEER, it's a strange place where the food and beer are technically two separate businesses, therefore we get two bills for the end of the night.

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.

Just in case our weather streak ends.....

Ok, there is a back-up plan for tomorrow night just in case the isolated thunderstorm comes in right as we run.  It'll be to Brasserie Cherrier (an old MBR favorite) corner of Cherrier and St. Denis.  IT IS CASH ONLY, SO BRING CASH JUST IN CASE TOMORROW NIGHT.  Even if you're unsure of running I will post here which bar we are going to in case you want to join later.
