Along with Bas-Canada, there's also À La Dérive on Jacques-Cartier in Gatineau and 5e Baron in Aylmer. I haven't been to either but I can get their beers here in Montreal and they're excellent. À La Dérive veers more into the hazy territory, similar to Bas-Canada, while 5e Baron does top-notch interpretations of more traditional styles. It also seems like they have really picturesque locations.
I'm looking forward to the next time I get over to Ottawa-Gatineau and can hit up those breweries, plus my favourites on the Ottawa side (Dominion City, Flora Hall, Tooth and Nail and Small Pony). It's just too bad it's impractical to do a big brewery crawl by transit.

Which watering hole is that?

I don't think Bas-Canada distributes to any supermarkets or regular dépanneurs, only specialty beer deps. Here in Montreal there's only a dozen or so places where you can find them and they tend to disappear quickly after arriving.
