About Silo

Silo is a brewery in Ahuntsic, in the north of Montreal, focused on crisp lagers and European-style ales. It has a taproom on Louvain Street where you can drink its beers fresh from the source.

It suits people who prefer clean, easy-drinking beers over very hoppy or heavy styles, and neighbours looking for a relaxed local spot. A cold lager is a natural match for a summer evening or a plate of sausages. If you are exploring Ahuntsic, the taproom pairs well with a walk along the Rivière des Prairies or through the neighbourhood's parks.
