Yup. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the Sunterra Market in the Signal Hill area. It's on Sirocco Drive. There's a liquor store there and it's called Crowfoot Liquor.

If for some reason they don't have it there, drop me a PM and I have a few people I can ask.

Well, the hype tends to come from beer drinkers who say its the greatest beer around. Its decent. It's not something I'd buy often though.
But really, some guys are really beer snobs. Which is fine. I guess I was a little disappointed with the Unibroues I've had. I'm not huge on really strong/bitter beer. For me, I like a smooth beer with a pleasant taste. I know a few guys who drink beer they clearly dislike just because they think "real men drink dark beer." (despite it being something mass produced and nasty like Rickards Red)
My beer tastes are far too moody to pick favorites. Sometimes that's a Kokanee brew, sometimes its Heineken, Birra Moretti, Hacker Pschorr, Estrella, Innis & Gunn, or Asahi Super Dry, Guinness, DAB, Hoegaarden, Stella, Velvet Fog or MGD.

OH god. I promised myself I'd have a dry weekend, and opening this thread pretty much fataed those chances.
Maudite is delicious! And it works really, really well. I haven't tried Fin du Monde yet, but I keep hearing about it.
I tried some kind of Belgian "Bokbier" the other week and it was amazing as well.
I enjoy Kronenbourg 1667. and Steamwhistle. And Keith's, of course. It's a staple. Stella's nice. Grolsch, Bavaria, very nice.
From my Euro travel days, beers like Birra Moretti and Amstel have significant sentimental value.
Guiness is great when I want to get drunk and want a meal at the same time.
MMMMM!
So many others. And more still that I've yet to try. It's gonna be a long weekend...

Also I would definitely not put unibroues anywhere near the same category as a guiness or other "dark" beers, they don't have anything in common except for the colour. The rugby playing scrapper might say real men drink dark beer but they sure wouldn't be talking about the unibroue/belgian type dark ones.
I do not like the overly hop flavour found in pilsners (the beer type, not the saskatchewan stuff), least favorite beers, like Tree, heineken or stella. Toughest beers to choke down.

Yeah, that's a really good way to put it. Yeah, most Unibroues aren't really like the traditional dark beers, I was just going on a tangent on how beer snobbery can go too far. Its great for guys that truly like their beer though.
I find Tree is way too hoppy, not a fan of that whole brewery. My issue with Heineken/Stella/Carlsberg (also a nice beer in ideal condition) is that they often come in green bottles, which means a good chance you get a skunky beer and it really accents the hops. I try to get them in either cans, mini-kegs, the enclosed boxes or on tap.

I'm sure we've all had nights trying to conquer one of those horrid beasts quicker than our buddies to win the venerable title of "Chief Big Bear"

It was explained to me as being the same. They called it wheat/white beer. Also how something like Grasshopper is a kristalweiss. Anyhoo..

Nothing is more disappointing than buying a 6 pack of skunked beer. Try Heine or Stella on tap, and you might have a different view of it. Carlsberg is a similar brew.
I have no idea why they don't use the brown bottles. Unless some people love when it gets too bitter from sunlight.

Yeah... I've just never had it when it wasn't skunked from exposure. Maybe one day if I see it in cans or in a fully enclosed box, I might take a chance on it again.

Together. Try it.
We all talk about Molson, Tree, Kokanee, Rickards, Keiths, Big Rock, Wildrose, Unibrouwe. Sleemans, Moosehead, Granville Island and I believe Steam Whistle. Are there any other Canadian macro/microbreweries people know of that are good?
