There are no other bars in Chamonix for pint-lovers: run by three Canadians, MBC Micro Brasserie is renowned for one thing and one thing only; delicious home-brewed beer. Just five minutes from the centre of Chamonix, all the beer served behind the bar is brewed on-site using water from the Mont Blanc glacier; new additions include the Dark Vador 2, a German-style heavy malt-flavour beer, and Myrtille Madness, a fruity wheat beer made with myrtille and maple syrup.

Opened in 2002, the bar also serves a selection of food, après-ski snacks and evening meals that are perfect for soaking up the booze, while a packed live music programme ensures that the party doesn’t end much before 2am.
