I'd argue Godspeed Kuro is maybe the best straight up stout in Ontario right now. Nice balance, flavourful and drinkable.
Black Oak Nutbrown always solid.

Creemore had some pretty solid options at one point - Keller, Kolsch, Alt, etc... do any of those still exist?

I used to be a huge fan of the Creemore Alt. Loved that beer so much.
They do, but I think they're seasonal. The LCBO has a Hellles from them in stock right now which I have not tried. To the best of my knowledge, the only ones that are available year-round are the normal lager, the pilsner and the IPA.distr0 wrote:Creemore had some pretty solid options at one point - Keller, Kolsch, Alt, etc... do any of those still exist?
Just tried the Helles and can say it's pretty good, if not a bit sweeter than I'd prefer and the alcohol is lower than your typical Helles. That said it was definitely refreshing and easy drinking, backyard BBQ/lawn work kind of beer.Craig wrote:They do, but I think they're seasonal.

They killed all the good ones a while back, around the time they re-branded. I especially miss the Kellerbier.sofakingdrunk wrote:distr0 wrote:Creemore had some pretty solid options at one point - Keller, Kolsch, Alt, etc... do any of those still exist?

Godspeed Fukami Munich Dunkel is very nice
While obviously not as heavy as a Doppelbock it has what are (for me) some complexities of a good Doppel. Nice dry balance to the malt profile with almost some umami and salt impressions, hints toffee and baked apple. I'll be having more of this one.
