If you could have one beer brought to the LCBO..

Post by Ralphus »

This is one for all of us.. the consumers and the importers alike.

If you could choose one beer to be made available at the LCBO what would it be? This should be one of your favorites that has never been here. It doesn't have to be the best beer in the world.. in fact to make this relevant to the importers I recommend that you choose a beer that you would purchase and drink regularly. And of course this is hypothetical.. we all realize that we have no bearing on market.. and that importers cannot convince any brewer to distribute in Ontario.. but lets assume that it was all possible for a moment.

If you could decide what was brought in, what would be it be?

Dogfish Head 90 min IPA would be a great addition to the Ontario market

One that pops into mind for me is York Brewery's Centurion's Ghost. Such a good dark ale, and I would definitely buy this on a regular basis.

I really need to try more American and lesser known Belgian and German beers. Luckily I have a two month Europe trip coming up this summer that will include A LOT of beer.

Anything from Fantome or Cantillon.

Great Lakes Brewing Co's Edmund Fitzgerald Porter. I'd drink this daily.

Hmmmm.. good question.. in theory you're asking "What's your favourite beer?" but also you're not... lol..

Anyhow, for pure drinkability I think - Two Hearted.

I'd go with Bells too, but I'd pick Hopslam.

For me it's a no brainer, it's gotta be Bells! Two hearted or expedition I would buy both by the case.

probably Bear Republic's Hop Rod Rye. it's not my absolute most favourite beer, but i think its one that i would never get bored of, and its session-able too. plus its sells for $5 per bomber in states, so it has that going for it too.

3 Fonteinen Oude Geuze. We are seriously lacking in geuze.
