My roommates and myself have been trying different beer every weekend. I just had Labatt Blue, Molson Golden, and Moosehead for the first time. I love this stuff! They are all great but Moosehead is my favorite.

Labatt Blue? Are you serious? Canadians bottle their piss and call it Labatt's Blue.

I actually like Sleeman's Cream Ale 64. It's the only Sleeman's product I've been able to find around here.
I remember about 11 or so years back, one of my friends decided to take a road trip to Canada over Spring Break. Brought back a 12 pack of Upper Canada Pale Ale, now that was a good Canadian beer.

The Fosters sold in the USA and Canada is brewed in Canada, by Molson. Check the label.

Quoting Srbmod (Reply 7): Anything brewed by Unibroue
I would agree, I drank plenty of that in Quebec. Great brew.

I don't drink Canadian beer too often, usually only when I am actually there. However, when I do, I like Molson Canadian.
Almost anything from Sleeman's (now owned by a Japanese concern, actually. I think the same company that makes Kirin.) Also Upper Canada Rebellion Ale.

Quoting Arrow (Reply 4): Absolutely true. And most of it is exported south. Canadians never drink it. Just like the
Aussies send us all the Fosters, and Americans ship Coors.
Unfortunately here in Crapchester Labatt's is big. I'd rather drink a Cream Ale or a pint of Erie Canal water though.

Personally I would say I like Kokanee the best. Brewed just over them there hills in Creston B.C. I also have a thing for Moosehead, always the right choice on hunting trips.

Quoting WildcatYXU (Reply 16): Then the whole Lakeport lineup is there for ya
I visited them in 2000 and I told them about my love for cheap beer and they gave me a tour and a bunch of neat stuff, and a tin sign for my fence of outdoor beer signs. They were very nice. They normally don't give tours or at least back then they didn't.
I like all beers. I have had 597 commercial brands of beer (I keep track). 101 before I was 21. I only had three I didn't like. Michelob Spiced Ale (1997 only), Leinenkugel's Berry Wiess, and Mouthy Musky Ale.

Aha! So its the same stuff. That explains a lot.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

26 Falstaff: I'll have 12, no no 24 Elsinores. I love that film. Every year my buddy, Gerry, and I watch it and get drunk on Red Cap Ales and eat back bacon. His
27 BristolFlyer: Absolutely, a favourite beer of mine. Whoa! Never heard of it! Gonna have to try some of that, I didn't think regular Kokanee could be bettered!
28 L-188: Why pay for them, just get yourself a six pack and a half dozen baby mice.
29 Gunsontheroof: If you can find it, Rickard's Red from BC is mighty tasty, though if I'm heading off for a weekend in the woods up there, it's Molson Canadian all th
30 SBBRTech: Is it true that Molson is the beer of choice among Canadians? Since I never been up there, all canadian beers I tried were "imports", but Molson left
31 WildcatYXU: Firstly, it's Labatt. Secondly, I'm not aware of Blue being brewed in Brasil, or exported there. Blue is exported to Paraguay from here. BTW, if you
32 LHMARK: Labatt tastes exactly like what it is, a thin, corn-adjuncted North American mass-market lager. It's right on par with Coors and Miller, except there'
33 WildcatYXU: Well, it's your opinion. However, this is what the market want, this is what the market gets. For connoisseurs we have our imports.
34 WildcatYXU: Rubbish. It's heavily north-amerikanized. Do you really think that Joe Schmo who grew up drinking pop would drink a real IPA? Waaay too bitter.

38 LHMARK: Too bad it's hard to share beer over the Internet. Wildcat, if you're near YYZ, have you tried King Pilsner?
39 Kieron747: When I worked in Sherbrooke, Quebec for a year I drank quite a quantity of Moosehead. I also went ot the micro-brewery festival in Montreal in summer

45 Falstaff: In Chicago you can get some great Wisconsin Beer. I would suggest Huber and Huber Bock. The brewery is over in Monroe Wisconsin. I would visit there
47 WildcatYXU: OK, let's keep it in Canada and with the big breweries. Our mainstream ales are way too sweet. BU's around 16. English ales are going around 30. Didn

54 YooYoo: they make a very good pils. Didn't they "invent" it, MArk?
56 JAGflyer: I like Sleeman Cream Ale and Keith's IPA.
57 WildcatYXU: Actually, no. The first brewer at Pilsner Urquell was German.
58 CastleIsland: Not because he drinks all that much, but just because he doesn't buy any rounds.
59 LHMARK: Good point. Josef Groll, "The Rudest Man in Bavaria" and the father of Pilsner.
60 KROC: Absolutely. Well, there is this very astute point as well.
