I don't have a problem with the bitching (as this is mostly what I do myself) because it shows there is a passion there. Excluding present company, Ontario seems to be filled with apathetic or ignorant beer drinkers...that's the sense I got from my last trip to the beer snore.

Just got back from the Beer Store. It was the first time since spending two and a half months in Oregon. Even though I've be going to Oregon for 15 years I'm still shocked by the difference.

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Picked up from Fred Meyer on a whim along with a bottle of Laurelwood Workhorse IPA for later.

I wonder what, if any, effect the stereotype of Canada being a beer country has.

Anyone care to speculate as to why it hasn't?

I'd like to compare what people want from Toronto and what a city less than half the size has to offer. I assume you mean within Ontario. If I'm not mistaken, Portland Oregon is probably half the size and I think it still blows Toronto away. I'm leaving for Oregon tomorrow morning. I'll be staying ...
