iolo Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 Get a new mortgage, move to Derbyshire or Sheffield and drink Thornbridge, draft if you can get it. Best thing since the NHS, ands marginally cheaper! Quote
Guest Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 (edited) With that couple of bottles I just posted I also grabbed a bottled of Black Sheep and a bottle of Sam Smiths's organic ale. Great stuff. Is Thornbridge a newer ale? I grew up in Yorkshire, but I don't remember it. And the important question, do they export it? Edit> I looked them up, and apparently they do come to Canada. The Halcyon IPA is highly rated. Edited July 19, 2014 by bcsapper Quote
iolo Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 Pretty new, yes. Brewed in Bakewell. I think they export it - I'll check.. It is brilliant, whatever. Quote
Guest Posted July 19, 2014 Report Posted July 19, 2014 Found some. http://sherbrookeliquor.ca/products/thornbridge-jaipur/ Next trip in to Edmonton, I'll give it a try. Quote

Boges Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 Here's the Beer Store Top Beers...... http://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/big-10-brands Top 10 = Ones they want you to buy. I went to a renovated Beer Store to return empties. They don't even have that big wall anymore. So even if you wanted crafty beers you'd have to ask if they had it. The Beer Store is the worst. Quote
Black Dog Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 Here's the Beer Store Top Beers...... http://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/big-10-brands That's a great way to tell which beers to avoid. Quote
Mighty AC Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 (edited) My local pub is now carrying Kronenburg Blanc, an incredible summer beer. It's light, refreshing, slightly hoppy with citrus notes. This fine beverage has overtaken Mill St Lemon Tea Ale as my top summer beer.

Boges Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 Hoegaarden was the forerunner to all these citrus beers. Seems all the big brands have a "white" beer. Quote
Mighty AC Posted July 21, 2014 Report Posted July 21, 2014 Hoegaarden reminds me of the way Thrills gum tastes. Anyone remember that purple, chiclet like gum that tastes like soap/aftershave?

Guest Posted December 20, 2015 Report Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) Having a bottle of this to kick of the Christmas season. From Surrey, BC, no less. Not bad... Edited December 20, 2015 by bcsapper Quote

Anyone remember that purple, chiclet like gum that tastes like soap/aftershave?I'm not a fan of Hoegaarden, as it does taste like aftershave. However, I highly recommend Kroenburg Blanc. It's a citrusy wit that is so good it's addictive. I'd call it a summer beer, but wouldn't turn it down any time of the year. http://www.thebeerstore.ca/beers/kronenbourg-1664-blanc Quote

Guest Posted December 23, 2015 Report Posted December 23, 2015 Try the St. Bernardus mixed selection. It's a pricey Belgian 6-pack, but totally worth it.http://www.lcbo.com/lcbo/product/st-bernardus-mixed-pack/385476#.VnoQd7YrJpg Quote
Ike Softner Posted December 24, 2015 Report Posted December 24, 2015 I would like to try all of the beers that you guys have suggested! Unfortunately, here in Kim City the liquor stores don't always have the greatest selection. -k Have you ever had Bud Light? It's crisp and very refreshing, especially when you're thirsty.

overthere Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 Edmonton has the mighty Sherbrooke Liquor for beer lovers, they stock over 600 different beers in the cooler. It can be overwhelming to pick a few and only a few. I went in for a six pack yesterday and ended up spending $93. Quote Science too hard for you? Try religion!
Big Guy Posted December 25, 2015 Report Posted December 25, 2015 It is commonly accepted that you should never go food shopping when you are hungry. You hunger tends encourage puchases that you would not commonly make. I use the same logic when I go to purchase beer. I try to have about 8 before entering and making purchases. To what I can remember, it has worked in the past. Quote Note - For those expecting a response from Big Guy: I generally do not read or respond to posts longer then 300 words nor to parsed comments.

Guest Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 (edited) Just had one of these. Not bad, but I wouldn't have another one. Edit> Actually, it kinda grew on me... Edited December 28, 2015 by bcsapper Quote
Guest Posted December 28, 2015 Report Posted December 28, 2015 Well, enough of that nonsense. I just fell back on Kilkenny, and I might hit the Tetley's in a minute. Quote
SpankyMcFarland Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 (edited) I was here a few weeks ago: http://taphousegrill.com 160 beers on tap and good food too. My only small complaint was the large number of IPAs - German wheat beer is more my thing - but I bravely persevered with a few of the hoppier local brews and survived the experience.

Wilber Posted April 1, 2016 Report Posted April 1, 2016 Have you ever had Bud Light? It's crisp and very refreshing, especially when you're thirsty. Not a fan of light beers but it's hard to beat an ice cold pitcher of Bud after a hot day on the golf course. Quote "Never trust a man who has not a single redeeming vice". WSC
