Starbug Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 On the note of alcoholic drinks, though, has anyone tried the Raspberry Ale from GIB? How is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-Money Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 I recently discovered Howe Sound Brewery, which is located in Squamish. They make some FANTASTIC beers. Most are sold in 1-liter bottles (which have the stopper, so I'm saving them for home brewing). I bought a couple on a recent trip to BC, and was overjoyed to find them in Calgary at Co-op. These are the ones I tried, in order of my preference: #1 - King Heffy An AMAZINGLY smooth Hefeweizen, despite packing 7.7% alcohol into it. One of my favourite beers right now. #2 - Rail Ale Nut Brown Thick, full flavor, without feeling remotely heavy. Also likely to be a permanent favourite. #3 - Devil's Elbow India Pale Ale A lot fuller than your run-of-the-mill IPA's, yet smooth as silk. #4 - Bailout Bitter Ale I think this one was just a short-time offer. Too bad, as it was quite tasty. #5 - Total Eclipse of the Hop An 8% IPA, not quite as smooth at the other offerings.

»ғʀᴇsϟᴘʀıɴcᴇ« Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Kronenbourg is a beer I liked very much but I see it hasnt been mentioned yet. I wonder what everyone else thinks about it. Molson is the norm at the uni parties which I dont mind. Dos equis was suprisingly good. Worst beer ever is old english Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverpig Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Now that I'm in Ontario I've had a chance to taste the Central City Red Racer IPA out here and I can definitely confirm that it doesn't travel too well. It was still pretty good, but it was kind of a "meh" IPA out here. It's fantastic in Vancouver though. The aromatic nature of the cascade hops just doesn't do well with travel it seems.

D-Money Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 I like Howe Sound products, but the Devil's Elbow was way too bitter. Not enjoyable at all. Garibaldi Honey Pale Ale is outstanding though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I finally got my hands on some Arrogant Bastard Ale. 7.2%, and boy it tastes like it. A wee bit on the bitter side, but still enjoyable and definitely drinkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
