This is what happened the first time I drank these. It's really that good.

Ziltoid · #**122** 11-09-2012, 09:26 PM

I only count 5, where's the missing one?

There's six there. Look closer. I'd have found the last one by now if it was only five.

Can't see it but I'll definitely remember that beer next time I go shopping. We have a two nice beer shops around, one holds 400 kinds of beer and the other close to 800, so there might be slim chances I can get some.

MakiSupaStar · #**125** 11-09-2012, 10:05 PM

Behind the bottle on the left.

It doesn't matter, you cheated! There's still beer in one

While I'm on the matter, can you guys recommend me a few american beers to look out for? I really need to get some of your good stuff, because you're commercial beer is just horrible

I was still drinking the last one. Jeesh.

Well I would highly recommend this Nectar IPA. Just looked it up. Brewed with hemp. Bear Republic Racer 5 IPA, their Hop Rod Ale is good too. Deschuttes Mirror Pond Pale Ale. Deschuttes Inversion. That'll get you started. Go.

I've cut back considerably in my beer drinking (down to about 3 a week from 12+)

I usually abstain during the week unless I'm out at a restaurant or bar with something special.

Tomorrow, I drink. Was lucky enough to get some of this smuggled back to me from Chicago: http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/689/2961

now THAT sounds good.

The Walkerville Brewery in my town has been re-opened. So far they're selling one style of beer (year-round) which is an oktoberfest, I got a growler of it and I like it. They've also got a fall seasonal called "autumn rye ale", I'm going to be going there on wednesday to get it filled up with that, I've heard it's pretty good. I don't think Ontario's ever going to be at a level similar to the US, but we're certainly improving.

I doubt they get any of that in Quebec.

Beeradvocate has a really nice tool for searching breweries and pubs and stores in your area. I've got Quebec pulled up right here for you: http://beeradvocate.com/beerfly/directory/9/CA/QC

Root Beer

Joe Gress · #**132** 11-10-2012, 10:35 PM

Ten Pin Porter from ska brewery out of Durango CO

Sam Adams Chocolate Bock. Not one for chocolate, but I do love a low IBU beer with some character.

Jebberz · #**134** 11-12-2012, 10:14 AM

Ziltoid, if you want good recommendations on any beer and are from Quebec City Area, you should ask the people at Le Monde Des Bières. The probably carry good beer from the states and have a immence choice, and the clercks knows what they talk about when you ask them.

Ziltoid · #**135** 11-12-2012, 10:40 AM

I should go check it out, most of the time I go to the "dep de la rive" or "la boite a biere".

Anything from Russian River Brewing, especially Pliny The Elder.

One of my favorites! I love that stuff!

For those in the LA area (especially you EricF), Stone Brewery has opened a Stone Store in Pasadena, Ca where you can buy merchandise, drinks, and fill up growlers.
No need to drive down to Escondido just for beer!

Ziltoid · #**139** 11-12-2012, 02:18 PM

So I did a little bit of research, and none of the beers and breweries you guys mentioned so far are available here.

Heck, on of the beer shop I like has 797 different beers (biggest selection in Canada) right now and there doesn't seems to be many (any?) from the states.

Brasseurs du monde as mentionned by Jebberz does not carry any worth mentioning.

Looks like I'll have to stay ignorant about American beers.

797 different beers and not a single one from the US?
Thats a huge fail if ever there was one. All of our beer shops carry not only all kinds of awesome US Brews, but many more from other countries.
