Small underground pub in the centre of Bruxelles. I visited it on the night of a terrorist attack to Bruxelles so there was very little people around (plus it was Monday night at 22:30). The place is cool though very simple. Service was OK. Selection was not very wide but interesting. Overall a nice place apparently needing to be tested again in a better night.

Neighbourhood bar not far from the new cool area of Milan. Nice patio outside on a fairly quiet street. Selection was limited to six taps some of which fairly common Italian craft beers (like Bibock). Overall a good choice in the area.

Traditional old-style bar (wooden furniture and all) in the centre of Amsterdam in Spui. I was there near closing time so not many customers. One more point in service for service my beers in its own spectacular glass. Selection was almost only of standards. Not interesting for craft beer people. Overall not the place for me.

Very busy beer bar (and brewery) in the latin quarter of Montreal QC Canada. Atmosphere is very lively although a little congested in my view. Music pretty high. Kind service people behind the bar seem to like each other and to have fun. Very wide selection all from the brewery itself. Overall a nice bar I'd be happy to go back to.

Large bar (with brewery) near downtown Montreal QC Canada. I went at a time when the bar is definitely not busy (lunch time or right after). OK. But unfortunately the feeling the place gives is negative. Old forniture randomly located in the bar mixed random tables and chairs a general sense of lack of care (not to be confused with industrial fashion). Service was good. Selection was only of their beers about 9 if I remember correctly. Overall no incentive to return if not to see it busier at night maybe with a different atmosphere...

Nice bar/restaurant within the campus of McMaster University run by the graduate students association. Large space indoor plus a nice patio outside. Kind service. Good beer selection with several local craft beers. Typical bar food menu ranging from poutine to cheesesteak. Overall a good choice on-campus.

The bar is located in front of a canal. Its major selling point more than the beer list are the tables outside along the canal and on a boat that is kept in front of the bar. Wonderful at night! Service was OK. Selection was OK but quite average.

Finally tried Macche'; The place is really small (though I didn't look at the room downstairs) and it easily fills with people. Unfortunately to order a beer you have to climb over people sitting/drinking at the bar desk. But probably it's the best they can do given available space. Selection is very nice. 13 taps. Prices OK (4 euro for a small 6 for a medium).

Nice little bar underground in a quiet neighborhood (luckily just in front of my hotel). Place could be renewed, but benefits from the warm atmosphere of many bottles and cans hanging from the wall. Attendance was very limited. At the bar a Japanese guy who luckily could speak English. Prices were OK considering beer taxation in Japan. Selection of bottles very wide 8-9 taps.
