Are there any other places I need to go to?
For other beer fans, who I'm sure all know this, Vineyards in the Market has about 4 billion different bottles of beer on hand, and is another great place for a pint or 12.
Here's the place in Gatineau that Harls linked: http://www.brasseursdutemps.com/

When the Clocktower have their cask conditioned ale available it is worthwhile. It doesn't sell as well as some of their others, but I'm a big fan of cask conditioned ale.
I'll have to check out the new brewpub in Gatineau...it looks like more of a belgian themed beer place..
Apparently, there is a pub on rue Principale in Aylmer (the part that is under construction), but I've never been to it. It has a large beer selection.
To me, Vineyards isn't worth it as most of the beers are in the bottle and have been on a boat from europe for months. I prefer draft beer and preferably somewhat local.
Beau's from Vankleek Hill and many of the St. Ambroise products are always good (I just picked up a 12 of St Ambroise Pale Ale for $11.99 + tax and deposit at the dep on rue front in Aylmer.....its been nice knowing you The Beer Store).
