Please recommend 5 canadian ipa's...

Hey folks, I'm more less out of the beer scene these days, so I could use some help. I have a friend in California and I'd like to send him some beers from Canada that aren't available to him. He's into ipa's and pale ales for the most part, but moreso the ipa's. I'd like to send him 5 different typ...

As much as I love the St Amroise, seems kinda overpriced. How much do they sell for in Quebec? I think it should at least be in a 500ml or something for that price.

Tasting groups are always an awesme idea if those involved can make the committment and there is a safe place to host them (as you may end up fairly smashed). I'm very deeply grateful to the guys in my area who I've been to tastings with, and even more deeply regret that these days I'm simply not a...

FT: Westy for Dark Lord

Lookin for a bottle or two of Dark Lord. I am willing to trade a bottle of Westy 12 and a bottle of Westy 8 for a bottle of Dark Lord....could do 2 bottles of each (4 in total) for 2 bottles of Dark Lord. Hopefully this is a fair trade offer, I'm kinda out of the loop these days. KW area, often in T...

I did not drink a lot of any beer in particular this year...but I would bet that it comes down to Peche Mortel, Rochefort 10, Creemore lager and Steamwhistle.

My personal limit is 2 drinks after that I won't drive or if I have a 3rd I make sure it's been over a 3 hour (minimum) period. I have done a breathalyzer once in my life...I blew .01 after 3 beers over 2 hours. So I feel that I am never too close to the limit with my rules. A few issues I've had wi...

Surprised not much talk about this highly anticapted release. I am deeply in love with this beer. Without question, the finest beer I've ever seen on an LCBO shelf. An imperial stout and coffee lover's dream.

For sure I'd like to see a great imperial stout with regular availability. I'd
(ahem) settle for Expedition or Oak Aged Yeti.

While I was gonna mention a couple IPA's I tend to burnout on them if I drink the same ones all the time.

The Huether has been know for lousy service for a long time...but in my experience the service has been consistantly horrible on the patio but pretty decent inside...they do have good food (best wings in town imho), decent beer, and a nice ambiance.
