Add Hockley Stout and Dark for me.

Agree on the Pilsner and add Stonehammer Stout.

Iron Duke and Mill Race Mild are both fine beers. Especially enjoy Iron Duke on cask.

I think this one goes well past "under the radar" into "camouflaged and deliberately hiding". And, well, it has a distribution area of Yonge and Dundonald. IIRC, there's one keg left (for Funk Night) and I don't think we can recreate it since it picked up what I will euphemistically call terroir (in a good way!) from the barrel.

Edit: Black Oak Nut Brown is quite tasty.

So those Hockleys are all still really solid these days? I used to preach about the Hockley Dark (and the Wellington Dark.) Can't remember if Upper Canada Dark was something I liked, but UC has gotten more obscure.

And I agree on Stonehammer for sure. A girl on a patio yesterday said 'nothing too dark' (so I guess 'dark' is a flavor these days, just like Cold Tasting.)

I am not a big fan of the Hockley Dark/Stout. I find them to be pretty similar, and both thin, with just a bit of roast/malt to them. Not particularly flavourful.

Grand River Galt Knife. One of the few lagers that I'll actually order on tap.

Galt Knife and Hannenberg Pils are both incredible beers from Grand.

It is these moments that I wish the waiter would bring people like that some Piraat or Lupulus and say "There you go. Something nice and light."
