Creemore Lager
Creemore Pilsner
Creemore Kellerbier
Granville Island Brockton IPA
Granville Island Robson St. Hefe
Granville Island English Bay Pale
Pretty sure this is the debut of Brockton IPA in Ontario. I tried it a couple of years ago and it was OK, but more UK-style, so don't be expecting a West Coast hop bomb. |

Wouldn't be surprised if it's a Granville Island product

| No, I knew they had those. Must be dreaming. I had a friend out east telling me he picked one up, and I thought that same weekend I was in my local TBS and saw it as well. Old age... |

| I'd happily pick up one of those. Price point is good enough and 4 out of the 6 products are pretty tasty, and the other 2 aren't offensive. Happy to support Molson if they want to put out good product. |

It's a good introduction to the craft beer scene for those who are used to macro lagers. I certainly support effort to increase demand for better products, so any new craft enthusiast is more than welcome to join in! The greater the demand for better products the more likely craft supplies will increase. You have to remember that most beer drinkers aren't used to flavor in their beer, so it's a good idea to ease them into the scene. |

| Well yeah, sometimes. But you would be hard-pressed to successfully argue that Creemore Lager, Robson Hefe, and Brockton IPA are "brutal" (I wouldn't even say that about Creemore Pilsner or English Bay). They nail their styles pretty well, even if they're not the most exciting. |

| Like I said different strokes for different folks. I don't care for the mentioned products and you do. All the power to you. |

i bought this pack last weekend and finished it last night saving the Granville IPA for last. the 3 creemores were all fine, keller>lager>pils
the Granville hefe was borderline undrinkable, unless you like flabby raw dough. the english pale ale was fine, not a lot going on but well balanced and easy drinking. the IPA was IMO a good english styled IPA, not something i buy a lot of but if six packs were availible for less then $12 id pick it up occasionally.
overall i liked the creemore side of the pack much more then the granville side, and i rarely if ever buy creemore
