bagochips Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 Sasquatch Stout from Chilliwack is a tasty stout. Especially when drinking it on a patio overlooking Harrison Lake in the Fraser Valley, whiling away the evening hours before the Scientists of Sound play at the closest bar to your motel.

Esau. Posted August 29, 2012 Report Share Posted August 29, 2012 IF you'd like to try what many connoisseurs consider to be the finest beer in the world, you'll have to get out your wallet.A six-pack of Westvleteren 12, a Belgian strong ale with 10 per cent alcohol, will set you back $85 (including a pair of beer glasses) at a Manitoba Liquor Control Commission outlet, or a little more than $96 with taxes. That works out to more than $16 per 330-millilitre bottle.http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/not-your-average-brewski-167803685.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollie Posted September 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2012 Hawaiian Style Pale Ale by Spearhead Brewing is now available at the LCBO on Richmond Road, and I'm sure at other locations. See lcbo.com for details. WOW, do I ever love this beer! My favourite new beer in a long time. I hope this becomes a regular offering... for now I'm buying up all the stock I can find.

bradm Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 Thanks, ollie! I think I had that the last time I was in Toronto (at Victory Cafe), but would love to grab a six for home research.They now have Broadhead's Pale Ale (I think that's the one) as the "featured tap" at Irene's Pub. It's nicely/mildly hoppy and not too maltyAloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybone Posted September 21, 2012 Report Share Posted September 21, 2012 I'm loving Boneshaker by Amsterdam lately. It has some serious hops. I've never been an Amsterdam fan but this beer is tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bagochips Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) As I drive my way from St. John's to Corner Brook, over the course of a week, stopping in some pretty little towns along the way, I am pleased to have discovered this tasty, unpretentious little brew from the Quidi Vidi Brewing Company: Quidi Vidi Brewing Company Edited October 10, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic ChrisC Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Oh darn, I read on another site that Beyond the Pale won't be at the Brewery Market because they don't have all their permits yet. Boo hoo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
