Hello all!! As the title implies I'm looking to find New Holland Brewing companies Dragons Milk stout in Ontario, I've seen they started distributing up here from Michigan back in 2014 but am unable to find a single store that sells it, thus I decided to turn to reddit for help! If anyone has any info on where I could buy some I'd be over the moon! I do know a couple craft pubs in DT Toronto that serve it but they won't sell it unless you're in for a drink or meal and I'd rather not drive 3 hours just for a drink 😅

I had a mango beer called Mango Cart from Golden Road brewer in Florida, I tried to ask around Sask Liqour but they don't seem to get it here. Any other beer that might taste similar ?

Had some recently on a hot day and it was delicious, refreshing and smooth. Pretty good value too, but in the GTA you can only really find it in 12-packs for $30, or the odd single can.

Thinking of trying their Honey Brown Lager next.

Last time I saw them was a few years ago with Coors Banquet. Anyone brands or local breweries still use them?

I’m pretty new to beer. I never used to drink it because I always found it super filling and/or bloating - each one was like drinking a few pieces of bread, and forget eating food at the same time. I’ve recently discovered that Corona doesn’t bother me at all, though. Are there any others that are similar?

It's been a while..

Looking for brewery/ bottle shop recommendations near Mont-Tremblant, Gatineau & Brossard/ Longueuil areas.

Thanks in advance! I already have Ayawan, LTM, and Du-Bas Canada on the list!

Gonna be in Vancouver for two weeks starting late Saturday night (Aug 3).

Any must visit breweries or particular beers I should search out? I’m with family so unlikely I’ll get to many breweries but plan on checking out as many canned beers I can from the liquor stores or any other stores with a good selection.

Haven’t been to Vancouver in 10 years and I’m coming from Toronto which has a good brewery scene.

Once in a while I like to grab some mainstream brews as a palate cleanser and a baseline reference. I noticed that the regular 4 pack of tall cans of Grolsch were no longer available at the store, but there was a 12 pack of regular cans that was on sale so I grabbed it. Cracked one open and it didn't taste like Grolsch. I mean it sort of did, but watered down with way less hops or at least a different hop that's only prevalent on the backend with a lingering light bitterness. I read the can and it said "Brewed under the supervision of Grolsch Canada Inc. Saint John, New Brunswick..." It didn't say where it was produced, no country, nothing. So I suspect this is a local contract brew that's less hoppy for the mainstream Canadian market?

Has anyone else experienced this or am I just going crazy?

I’m more of a lager guy, but I’m wanting to switch it up.

I'm not a big fan of most beers except a very small niche category that I love!! I really enjoyed thre Carlsberg Elephant (8% ABV) and Budweiser Magnum, which I've enjoyed during my travels.

Now, I'm looking for strong Canadian beers that match their taste and alcohol percentage. Can you recommend some options that are easily available in your local liquor store? (Because, let's be real, I live on an island - shoutout to my fellow Newfoundlanders who know the struggle of getting the bare minimum shipped in).

Specifically, I'm looking for beers with:

• Similar taste profiles (crisp, refreshing, slightly bitter)
• Alcohol content around 8% ABV (or higher)

TIA, for your suggestions! Help a beer lover find their new favorite brew 😊

Ferment & prosper! Cheers 🍻

Ahoy! I really enjoyed Hinano while on vacation in french polynesia and wondering if there's anywhere it's imported in Canada. Anyone know?

Hey!

Maybe not the right place to post but my partners birthday is coming up and he would love to experience some labatt blue again (had it once before and loved it) but can’t find anywhere to buy in Australia? If anyone knows where I can buy it here or ship it here please let me know! Thanks!

Looking for a small beer or the like in Vancouver area. Something that is stronger than 0.5% but not as strong as 3%. Thank you!

What's the best option that still has flavour? I don't need anything crazy as I usually drink Steamwhistle or various light craft beers (Camerons First Light, Prince Eddys Fast Eddys, Ace Hill Pil, Amsterdam 3 Speed, Muskoka Craft Lager, Burdock Bloor Light, Fairweather Cheap Seats, etc.) but I'd like to have an option that is easier on the waistline. Sleeman Clear 2.0 is not great... I feel like I liked Michelob Ultra much better but haven't had one in awhile.

What's your go to low carb/low cal beer?

Everyone I talk to seems to think that west coast ipa is coming roaring back this summer (not that it truly left). Is society truly ready for clear and bitter again?

Hi everyone,

Im looking to meet people outside my area and learn about craft beer in their region. If you’re interested in chatting, I’d love to connect for a conversation. Please message me if you’re interested.

Cheers!

My dad and I went to a pretty extensive liquor store and they hadn’t even heard of it and my dad used to be get it all the time and a bunch of different liquor stores and central city brewers last Instagram post was may 2023 so are they still around? Are they still making red racer??

The guy said the original label was probably inaccurate and they caught it when it was imported. I've just never seen that before.

I'm 19 and I've never really been a fan of beer. always tasted bad to me but I've been trying out new ones to see if I can find anything that I enjoy.

I was at a buddies house and he gave me a Sleemans Honey Brown Lager that was the first beer that didn't make me gag and I sort of enjoyed it. After I told my dad about this he suggested I try Innis & Gunn Original. I bought a six-pack and I think this might be the first beer I enjoy.

Do you guys have any recommendations for a beer I might enjoy? I really like the almost sweetness to Innis & Gunn and how it has little to no bitter aftertaste.

I've been trying to track down a Canadian vendor that will ship Stone Beer out East. Tried the contact on theor website, a guy based in Ontario, and he directed me back to Stone's US website. Anyone have any ideas? Trying to make a birthday wish come true for a buddy turning 40.

Was asked to make this sign! Thought that I’d share a picture of it here!

canadian breweries are getting contracts to brew famous european brands - lowenbrau, grolsch, spaten etc and they are not giving a single shit when they do. aside from the annoyance of reducing the volume of beer im getting by 27ml, these are 100% not the beers i expect when i grab them. the ones brewed by labatt (lowenbrau, spaten) are the worst offenders, they taste like discount macro lager, not even main brand. its absolutely absurd and trying to contact lowenbrau, for example and inform them is just byzantine since they were bought out by AB inbev.

this is a new low for the already vile canadian beer market.

was cleaning my basement and this fell out of an old pipe.. could anyone date the age of this bottle?

And created specifically for Coors Light. Let the brine shine!

I guess Corona in Canada isn't worth buying ? Not for the average Joe anyways haha, I bought two 6 packs of tall boys and it was $39! Can get the same thing of busch, pbr, etc for $25. Import pricing ? Sure.... but it's brewed by Labatt like 2 hours from where I live lol so it's a ripoff in my opinion 🤷

I use to enjoy Guinness but nowadays it's just to mild for my taste.

I enjoy strong stouts. Ones with a real kick like the Innus and Gunn matured stouts but they are bloody expensive. https://www.innisandgunn.com/ca/beer/limited-edition

Any recommendations for strong stout contenders available in Alberta?
