The Mellön Brasserie in the Rosemont-La-Petite-Patrie neighbourhood of Montreal, Quebec, is housed in a former automative garage. The former use of the building lends itself to industrial styling, complete with a large garage door that can be opened up in summer. There’s a conceptual fit between former automative spaces and craft beer making, evidenced by the number of garages adaptively reuses by craft breweries across Canada.
