a good imported beer?

[sillywilly]

king fisher
hoe garden

those are the only two I've ever tried and liked. Other than that, give me anything canadian

[Ginker]

I am a Corona guy but I do like Stella as well, esp. on a hot day.

[John]

"Hoe Garden" that's great.

Also if you like the Garden of Hoe you will love Blanche de Chambly. Amazing white beer, very distinct taste which i find very refreshing.

Another fave of mine is Innis and Gunn. It's aged in whisky barrels so it imparts a nice tone into the brew. Strong too at 5.7% i do believe.

[Michael]

My two favourites are:

Old Speckled Hen

Innis and Gunn

Both worth a try if you have not had them before.

[Paulio]

Stella is my favorite. I actually just learned this recently after doing the same deal that Jeffc talked about above. You can try single beer at the LCBO. A sample 6 pack, if you will..

What are the top Czech beers? Since they are suppose to be "the best"

[Shorthitter]

If you like it dark, make sure you try the McEwan's Scotch Ale: it's dark, thick, a bit sweet and so heavy that it's like a meal... strange enough, I like my McEwan's at room temperature. Newcastle is pretty good too but a lot lighter.

I'll second the recommendation for Blanche de Chambly.

hard to find, but San Miguel from the Philippines is really nice. Plus it comes in a stubby!

[jonf]

ooh..that reminds me....Red stripe is another good one.

The top couple are Pilsner Urquell, Budvar and Staropramen. I'll be in Prague in 3 weeks so I'll make sure to let you know of any others I stumble upon.

[Paulio]

Hmm.. thanks Jeff. I will try to sample one of those then. Prague is one place I'd like to visit!

The Belgian beers are the "best" imho, & if something as subjective as taste can be judged that way: they invented beer.

Heiniken is a staple of my diet, but I'll drink just about anything.

For an unusual treat I recommend gueuze lambic. It is a sour beer along the lines of hoegarden. Harder to find, has a cork in the bottle

Cheers!

If there would be a rare beer to find, it would be you to find it.

I think the egyptians invented beer.

[harbacostal]

Tennant's is a great pint.

accordig to wiki, its a beverage tracing its roots back to the mesopotamian "cradle of civilization" in the 6th millenia BC!
I don't think I've ever had an Egyptian beer.

But I bet finding that out will make you search one out......just because, right?

[Nat Williams]

my favs. are Kilkenny, Guiness & Caffrey's ... just don't buy 'em at the bar, they charge an arm and a leg around these parts

[bazooka Don]

If you enjoy a dark beer try NewCastle Brown Ale. And the LCBO is definetly the place to mix and match.

The heiroglyphics say it all

Nice pic. You probably end up paying for the packaging when you buy a 24 of that stuff.

[g8r]

Kronenbourg 1664 is a good beer too. dark blue tallboy cans at the LCBO.

Best thing to do is go to LCBO, grab one of their 8 pack holders and start at the top and try all of their individual cans. After that, you can narrow down what you liked.

[jonf]

Also, don't limit yourself to imports. There are some damn good micro-brews coming out of Canada...particularly from BC and Alberta. Unfortunately, I don't know how much of it you can get in Ontario. If you can find it, try some stuff from Big Rock Brewery, Granville Island, Phillips Brewery. Some really good stuff.

[Sakuraba]

Don't forget Quebec! St-Ambroise, McAuslan, Boreal... drooooollll...

Is it beer o'clock yet?

[rgk5]

Czechvar, and for my taste, the best pilsener on the planet.

[Wilster]

Caffreys , if you can find them

[jeffc]

ok. Just had my first beer in Prague today. Krusovice dark. Very nice for a dark beer, not too heavy. 1 down about 50 or so to go!

[Mattchew]

thanks to everyone who posted on this for me, tried some great beers. have to say im now stuck on Stella!

[fundonny]

Tried Kingfisher last night for the first time, (I'm a Stella guy) and it was awesome!!! Tried Hoegaarden too, didn't like it. Recently tried Dos XX amber, it was okay but I'm not a fan of the ambers.

[Eldred]

Anyone ever had Strongbow Cider? I thougth I ordered one (those train samples at Barley Mow's) but I checked the wrong box..
