Beachclub Will Lose Its Liquor Permit For 20 Days Next Summer

Many Montrealers have high hopes for next summer after a COVID-filled 2020.

Montreal Grocery Stores To Get Fully Stocked SAQ Outlets Inside Of Them?

For those who love convenience and alcohol (i.e. EVERYONE) there is a looming pilot project that will have you smiling with (possibly already drunken) glee. The Société des Alcools du Québec is now looking into combining SAQs with major grocery stores across the province and in Montreal.

The fusion would have a fully stocked SAQ inside the grocery store, keeping the hard liquor outside of regular aisles but still inside the complex, kinda like those mini-wineries you sometimes find. Beer and wine would still be kept grocery-side, as per usual.

Getting Drunk Gluten Free Is Easier Than You Might Think

For those with celiac disease, gluten is the enemy. If not being able to eat most kinds of bread isn't horrific enough, those with a gluten-free diet are also restricted in their choice of alcohol! Carbs and beer are like the kryptonite to many celiacs, so you best feel for them, and never chirp on the whole gluten-free thing. Unless, of course, they're just following the food trend,'cuz that's not alright. Although gluten-free drank isn't as vast as the regular stuff, there is still a lot to choose from.
