Creemore Springs. That's before Molson's bought them out and whored out their great name.
 
I tried that 10W-30 at the Beer Festival downtown a month or two ago..I didn't mind it. I've been drinking the Muskoka Brewery Summer Weisse lately. It's quite authentic to the Bavarian style and comes in a handy 750ml bottle.. :-) I've also been enjoying the Weihenstephan weisse as well..the oldest brewery in the world apparently.

I tried the Asahi Black (Kuronama) beer..a nice stout and enjoyed that as well.

I tried some Flying Monkey beer at the beer fest..have to say, didn't enjoy that much. YMMV.. :-)

I wish i could find "John Courage" somewhere other than south of the border.
 
There is only one BEER and it has a widget inside over here.

Everything else is a pale imitation and more fattening to boot.

Kilkenny? Ah yes..a nice smooth beer... :-)

I know you meant Guinness!!! We're talking DIFFERENT beers other than mother's milk itself..

My friend calls them summer beers. I shouldn't complain about them, they keep the wife away from the Guinness.
 
Ric, first of all, my condolences on your loss.

Secondly, I'm on a first name basis with the owners of Neustadt Springs Brewery. Wish I had known you'd be in my neck of the woods today, I live a scant 15min from the brewery.
 
I have only been drinking grolsch, need to try some of the ones mentioned in this thread :)
 
Ya... I've tried 10W30.. it was good

I got this one in a gift pack... Loved it but can't find it anywhere... I'm sure it's expensive

I don't remember how this one tasted but I like the bottle. The bra scratches off.

Mine's the Maudite. Strong, perfect for winter season.

Tend to stick to local stuff. I shudder to think at the "beer miles" imported product is exposed to. Both from an environmental impact and stability impact.

Really like the stuff from Flying Monkeys up in Barrie. They make a great balanced IPA.

Mad Tom's IPA from Lake of Bays brewing is also great...however, can be hard to find.

Black Creek IPA is also a nice one.

I'd also be remiss if I didn't mention Crazy Canuck IPA (can you sense a theme here?) from our friends at Great Lakes Brewing.

Steamwhistle is always a stand-by in the summer, nice light refreshing Pilsner for those hot summer days.

Oh...and sorry to burst the Guinness guys bubbles....but most beer doesn't contain any fat. And calories in beer are driven by alcohol, protein and carbs. Only reason Guiness has fewer calories is because it's got less alcohol. You could drink light beer and get the same benefit.

However feel free to continue justifying your beer-wiped-off-a-bar-top-with-a-dirty-rag-and-filtered-through-an-ashtray taste. I justify it once a year too. ;)

If you're only trying to get smashed, try vodka!!! :-)

Sorry for your loss.

I have been trying wheat beers and I like them: Erdinger, Aventinus and the other Schneider beers, Dennison's which is a local beer, and others. The Blanche de Chambly from Unibroue is also quite good especially if you like a lot of fizz.

The other Unibroue beers are good too (Maudite, Fin du Monde) and remind me of some Belgian beers. Speaking of Belgian beer, Chimay, the Trappist brewer, is also quite good and is generally available - lots and lots of flavour! A brewer that I like that I have only seen at Christmas is Maredsous - great stuff but not readily available.

I like the Cameron brews I have had, especially the Cream Ale. To me, the term bad beer is something I find hard to understand...
