Squeak Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Haha! Actually got them all from the beer and wine store by Silvercity. The two signature stores near us (the one on North as well) have a bunch of stuff usually though, so maybe there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 All grain, I like hoppy beers--IPA's that kind of thing. I have 2-3 beers on at anytime, right now I have an IPA and a nut brown ale. I need to brew again--hopefully this weekend if it is nice out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inane Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I like to have variety - so that one night I can have one beer, and then another on another night without having to make multiple trips to the liquor store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electro Rock Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I'm liking most of Lighthouse Brewing Company's stuff as well as 49th Parallel Brewing Company's Old Boy Classic Ale. Storm Brewing Ltd is anothe local affair that makes good stuff, although they don't sell by the bottle so its tap or keg only unfortunately. Howe Sound Brewing's lineup is a pretty good bet also, though I stay away from their exotic flavored beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Electro Rock Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I like a Hefeweizen for the summer, with the customary shot of lemon juice of course. That's about as close as I get to a flavored beer. Granville Island Brewing does a decent hefeweizen, although that's about the only beer of their's that I like. Duke's Apple Cider from Tree Brewing Company is good good in the summer as well, dry cider is pretty refreshing in the heat and has the huge bonus of making you unattractive to mosquitos if you're out hiking or camping.

elvis15 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I was always hesitant to have the 'flavoured' ones - but once I was around everyone drinking Bud Light Lime, and praising it ( ), I realized that I might as well get good and enjoy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wetcoaster Posted March 6, 2013 Author Share Posted March 6, 2013 Some of the flavoured ones are great. Unibroue's Ephemere is amazing (in the green apple or blackcurrent), one of my summer staples is McAuslan's Apricot Wheat Ale, and I had a bunch of both the Granville Island (their Ginger beer is great, but also their pumpkin ale and the imperial stout) and Whistler flavoured ales this summer (grapefruit and pineapple wheat ales this year, plus an orange/chocolate dunkelweizen). Two of my favourites were actually from Big Rock, they had a dunkelweizen that was great, but their limited edition pumpkin ale was possibly my #1 beer from last year.

elvis15 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My summer go-to beer is a Belgian wheat beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 For summer beer, you just can't beet King Heffy from Howe Sound. Other good ones are Down Easy Pale Ale from Hoyne, and I'm also a huge fan of Farmhand Saison from Driftwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
