A really interesting beer brewed in Montreal (I believe it’s the McAuslin
brewing company?) is St. Ambrose Oatmeal Stout. It also suffers from not
being on tap but there’s one or two pubs (Pub Italia on Preston comes to
mind) with an eclectic enough collection to have a keg about. It’s a dark
rich stout with a hint of cocoa in it…yummy. Like milkshakes for
grownups.

Which beer did you try? You’ve got to try “Kozel”, they have it at
the LCBO
at Hazeldean Mall… There’s also “Radegast”, which suffers from not
being
on tap, and “Pilsner Urquel” which is also good…
I had the Urquel - it was very good. But I worry that our Eurpean
friends
like to group good Candian beer in with the REALLY bad American beer.
Not
that there isn’t plenty of really nasty Canadian beer, but grouping
Coors
Light and Keiths in the same category just isn’t fair. >
I’m very glad to hear there is a good beer in Canada >
ed"1000 pints of beer for a good party".
The non-alcoholic beer is the first step to the gum woman.
Hi Kris,
Thanks a lot for the info Your guess is right, I really like a dark beer. What do you think
about american beer? Espec. “Siera Nevada”? (Sorry if I wrote it down wrong) I heard it’s nasty
beer (but better in the USA) many times, but never test it.
cheers,
Eduard.

I generally avoid American beers. My brand of choice (when I’m buying a 24
for around the house) is Sleeman’s. They have a few good varieties (Honey
Brown is my favorite). There’s also the Upper Canada Brewing Company that
makes a bunch of interesting lagers and ales. The secret in Canada is to
avoid most of the big Labatt and Molson stuff and stick with the small/micro
breweries. I mean, let’s face it, Blue and Canadian aren’t that much
different from American beer. That is to say, not bad if it’s really cold
and you’re really thirsty but not something you’d want your friends to see
you drinking.
cheers,
Kris

As the old saying goes, “Friends don’t let friends drink Molsons”
US beers can be ok, esp. the micros, like Sam Adams, and the Heffenwiezen
beer I had once in Oregon…
We really should have called this group “qdn.pub” instead of “qdn.cafe”, eh?

I once tested a few light sorts of European beer (we had no many tinned beers at that time). I was
surprised when I get known american beer is even worse. I think how much cold down the 7up it will
not be the beer anyway Thank you, I guess I’ll keep a few dollars if I’ll traveling in Canada.

In my country we often have a cafe, but really it’s a pub… So, I’m like fish in water

Love that beer too. However I have notice that the taste isn’t the same all
the time, maybe it’s just me…
It took me a while to get used to the brown ales like Newcastle. I found
the absensce of hops to be quite disconcerting at first. Makes for a very
smooth beer though.

That’s my favorite, HefeWeizen. A smooth unfiltered wheat beer. It’s made
by RedHook Brewery. They are in the state of Washington, but they also have
a brewery in Portsmouth, New Hampshire. Just a few miles from work. You
can stop at the brewery and have a 1/2 gallon jug filled from the tap.
Great for Friday night pizza.

When in was in the San Jose area last, I tried out a brew pub named
“faultline”. They have a number of “world” styles of beers brewed in house.
I stayed away from the wheat beer. The guinness clone was okay. The Seirra
Navada (lots of hops) clone was good. And they also had a Belgian trappist
monk clone beer was great! I’m glad that I wasn’t driving
