What's your favorite?

Mine is Samuel Smiths Oatmeal Stout.

If I can't find that there's always Guinness Extra Stout

You guys would go bonkers in the Northwest...there are nearly as many microbreweries here as espresso stands. I once read, that at well over 400, the Northwest now has more breweries than Germany...you like your beer pale, ale, stout, dark, light, you name it, it's here..on tap. So many individual beer names it's impossible to keep track. How about a pint of Terminator Stout? Hammerhead ale? Black Butte Porter? A few of the readily available varieties here...

Worked a microbrewery festival in Durham once. Free beer, great stuff! Had a chocolate stout that was to die for and a really different one called purple passion. Mmmm...

pwd72s is right. I live up in Seattle, and there are micro-brewers all over the place. Tons of great beers.

Me like beer. All work and no beer make HardDrive something something.....

I don't think I've ever had a beer I *didn't* like. My dad is a big fan of Corsendonk, but it's actually one of my least favorites - too much of a raisin aftertaste for me:

Watney's Cream Stout, Old Peculiar, any wheat beer, any warm, flat british beer on tap, a black and red (Guiness and Killian's)

that said, hot summer day, washing the car, throwing back an ice-cold Rolling Rock is pure bliss.

My current favorite is Kostriker.

One of the great things about Canada - some of the best beer in the world, and this is the best I've ever had:

Unfortunately they just got bought out by Molson, so we're all a little worried about the quality slipping as the quantity will no doubt increase. Interestingly, Molson was feeling the heat from microbrew competitors like these guys, which is why they bought them out. Creemore is a little village an hour or so north of Toronto, and until a few years ago, you pretty much had to drive there to get the beer. Yet they produced a brew so well that once it was more widely available it took market share from the big guys!

Oh yeah, and I think you Yanks get an unfair rep when it comes to beer, because pretty much the only exports are crap (Bud, Coors, etc, much the same as our exports are also crap - Molson & Labatts). Though I've only had a few, the American microbrews I've had are awesome - as good as Canadian!
