Innis and Gunn is delicious! Great summertime beer.

I really like the Quebec ones: Terrible and Maudite, particularly. Stella and Boddington's for European beers. Wild Rose brown is my favorite commonly-available draught beer.

(1) Great Western Pilsner
(2) Great Western Light
(3) Pilsner
(4) Kokanee Gold
(5) Kokanee

I remember the last time I was in Calgary and we bought some Pilsner...big mistake, man was it skunk. I'm guessing it isn't very popular over there?

As much as I love beer though nothing tops a double Gibsons Finest with coke, short glass. mmmmMMmMMmmmmm good. I think i'll have one right now actually.

Right now I'm on a bit of a Keith's fix. Grasshopper, Trad as well. McNally's from Big Rock is also great.

Why, Molson Export of course.

Shiner Bock is nice, Fat Tire Ale, Kokanee will do nicely as well.

YES! Can't top Gibson's finest Sterling. As for beer:

1) Czechvar/Budweiser - Not Busch Budweiser...but the Czech (the original real) Budweiser (hasn't this been discussed here before?) sold here as Czechvar. Sold in most of Europe as Budweiser, and in the UK as Budvar Budejovice.

2) Harp - Another solid beer

3) Zywiec - have to pimp the beer from my home country

I probably shouldn't admit this, but Molson Dry - i love that there is no aftertaste.

Miller High Life - it's the champagne of beer

Grasshopper, Rickards, Kokanee

I'm not so picky anymore.

I couldn't believe someone would pick Pilsner...until I saw your name, then it all made sense.

I can pretty much tolerate anything that's not Molson Canadian...but I like MGD, Bud, Keith's....I'm starting to really enjoy Tsingtao, a little pricey but a fantastic beer.

I don't drink much but almost all the big breweries beer gives me a headache before I've finished the bottle. I think it's the preservatives. Anything from Big Rock or a small brewery is fine but I remember really enjoying some Belgian beer while crossing the English Channel, until the waves got to me.

The Granville Island line of beverages is unmatched in my view. My first choice by far.

My "Cheap Beer" of choice is Pill. My dad used to let me finish his off when I was a wee lad, so probably that's where I get my like for it from.

Other I do enjoy:
- The Peak Brewing Company line (haven't seen it in a while though)
- Dark Henieken (no longer available in Canada, last time i was in Montana they had it though...can any of our American posters confirm its still around down there?)
- Stella
- Any cream ale, though my choice would probably be Caffreys.

I do enjoy trying new beers so if there's something available that I have yet to have, I will have that over my favourites.

Guinness
Stella
Grasshopper
Newcastle Brown Ale
Those are my 4 favourites.. Guinness is the best by far.

Czechvar/Budweiser-- Excellent beer
Innes Gunn -- another fantastic beer. You would think that because they brew it in my city that it would be everywhere, but it is harder to find here than it is in Calgary. I've seen it at one whiskey shop and never seen it at a bar.

Heh. Never tried that Schonbuch-whatever you're referring to... can you buy that in stores here?

Grasshopper seems to be a popular choice I haven't tried yet either.

MGD, but I am on a low carb diet, so no beer for me. It sucks.

I could really use a cold one.
