Scottish⑦Canuck Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 My favourites at the moment: Krombacher Furstenberg Erdinger Paulaner Link to comment
Offensive Threat Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 this is another one i like from every now and then it is pretty bitter at first but it's got a sweetish, refreshing finish and another seasonal (depending on where you shop, available year round almost) Dead Frog seems to get it right with all their beers. Seasonal: The Herminator from Vancouver Island Brewery only available around Christmas time and very very good. Hard to find off the island. Link to comment

elvis15 Posted September 7, 2013 Share Posted September 7, 2013 Oh yeah! I want to try some different kinds but the crappy liquor store here only sells original. Even at the signatures stores around where I live they usually only have the regular one. The specialty ones only show up on occasion. Link to comment

Guest Gumballthechewy Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Any one know where I could get some mead? Link to comment
elvis15 Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Bud crown is alright What's your darkest beer in your opinion? It doesn't get any darker than Guinness. There are plenty of porters and stouts and all that though to choose from. Link to comment
The Bookie Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Here's something completely different I tried. The most unique beer I've had in ages: http://www.left4beer...alt-spring.html Spring Fever Gruit (Salt Spring) Huh, so a gruit eh? This one is hard, how does one evaluate a beer style you rarely get to taste? Perhaps we should discuss what a gruit is. That is simple: "gruit" refers to a mixture of herbs that is used to help bitter the sweet wort in beer making. This was how beer was made prior to 1000CE. It terms of world history, hops are a relative new comer. I had to chance to sample this beer twice tonight. The variety in cask at Clive's Classic Lounge had a tad more cinnamon flavours. Then I had a bottle at home to sample. We stared at this glass a long time, all hesitant to talk about it. It was different. In some cases, different is good. Link to comment
PowerIce Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 It doesn't get any darker than Guinness. There are plenty of porters and stouts and all that though to choose from. Guinness is nice. But there has to be a little unknown gem not too many people know about Link to comment
aGENT Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Fruli = fav summertime beer That's one very small step from a cooler. For those of us without lady parts, I'm not sure it actually qualifies as beer. this is another i really like. very refreshing =3 Looks interesting...tell me more. Link to comment
elvis15 Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Here's something completely different I tried. The most unique beer I've had in ages: http://www.left4beer...alt-spring.html I tried their dry porter back in April, and it was pretty good. Guinness is nice. But there has to be a little unknown gem not too many people know about See above, or anything of the speciality beers you can buy, like Granville Island's chocolate imperial stout they put out last Christmas. Also, Driftwood's Blackstone porter or something like Maudite/Trois Pistoles from Unibroue are very good choices, but it doesn't get any darker than Guinness. Link to comment
