kodos Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Asahi Black is a good, interesting beer. Haven't found it anywhere other than Nat Bailey though. Link to comment
elvis15 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 mm winter ale is more in mid-november-march/april (depending on which beer and wine stores keep them in. the regis had them until may or so). the pumpkin ale is september-october. thats also real good. love the pumpkin ale Best one I've possibly ever had was a specialty release from St. Ambroise out of Montreal. Had it last year, it was amazing! They also make a great apricot wheat ale I drink in the summer. Other than that, some of my other more regular beers have been from Stanley Park brewery, Whistler brewery and Big Rock brewery. Link to comment

chrisbanks Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 i can say im 100% a lager fan and most BC lagers taste pretty close to the same with their own twists but Cariboo honey lager and sleemans honey lager pretty good .... lucky lager is fantastic... and last year or so I've grown in love with Traditional BC Lager made by the same people who brew Cariboo i think its pacific western breweries. i get headaches from alot of beers and im not sure whats in other beers that do it but lagers dont give me a headache and they are the clearest , most crisp and refreshing beer you can get in my opinion.

nux4lyfe Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Anybody try the Parallel 49 Ugly Sweater Milk Stout this winter? Those guys are under-rated, good ass beer man, that spit seeder one is delish! Link to comment
kodos Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Those guys are under-rated, good ass beer man, that spit seeder one is delish! Yeah, that was an awesome summer beer. I like their Gypsy Tears Ruby Red Ale, too. Link to comment
King Heffy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I LOVE the Fat Tug IPA, now I feel like going out and buying some. How did we get to the 2nd page before someone mentioned Fat Tug? Best IPA in BC; the staff at Driftwood know me by name now (not sure if that's good though). Other favourites include King Heffy (Howe Sound), Flying Tanker (Vancouver Island Brewery), Gypsy Tears (Parallel 49), Hermannator (Vancouver Island Brewery), and Kyrpton RypePA (Phillips).

VICanucksfan5551 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 I'm not kidding. Ask VI. You don't drink alcohol, but to say you only drink sparkling water is to ignore your coffee-flavoured sugar habit. Link to comment

I really hope they bring it back next year (it was in a limited edition 4 pack). Plenty of good beers though, and I've had a bunch of the Big Rock stuff over the past year. Their dunkelwizen (from the picture) rivaled the pumpkin ale and Granville Island's Choclate Imperial Stout as the best beer all year. They've made a bunch of specialty brews though and all have been at least interesting, worth a try once. For instance, they put out one a little while back that was a rosemary pale ale. I wouldn't drink it on it's own (or to get drunk), but it was really, really good with meals so I had one here and there with dinner. Chicken, burgers, steak, etc, the rosemary shone through with food. Link to comment
Riviera82 Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 For premium beer - Sleemans or Rickards. For Domestic - Budweiser or Canadian. If in Ontario - Lakeport Honey Lager. 24 beers for 24 dollars, and they're actually good. Link to comment
