L'arte is a good place for a great meal and decent pint. The food is Eastern European influenced with huge portions. They do have St. Amboise Oatmeal and Cream Ale (replacing the apricot), Creemore, St. Andres, Niagara Best Bitter and some imports. Their website is http://www.larte.ca

I would try an oriental health food shop!!!

Good luck and let me know if you find any, because I have always wanted to try a brew with hazelnut.
