I like the big rock grasshopper, not sure if they have any of the others around here.
Blue moon belgian white is pretty damn good, had it when I was down in the states, havent ben able to find it here, although it is brewed in Toronto (Atleast thats what the label said). Rickards white is also a great wheat beer, along with schneider weisse.
Sleemans original draft is a great summer beer.
I also really like Stella.

I love the Grasshopper as well as the XO which is a Pilsner. I actually had some Stella on the weekend when I was watching the game and forgot how good it was.

I am not a huge fan of the Rickard's White. I got a taster's pack over the summer and really only liked the Honey Brown.

All of the specialty and limited beers is just overwhelming now. The store that I frequent is one of the larger in province and seems to be able to get almost anything.

Beer is great. I like to try some of the local brews around me. The ones I like around Maryland are Clipper City (golden ale, and their heavy seas brands which are 8%+ beers). I also had a beer I liked when I visited Maine (Shipyard Pumpkin Head it tasted like pumpkin pie).

Shiner Bock is my go to beer, but when I'm living large, it's Duvel. Course most of the time I'm a Scotch man, drinking The Macallan 12 or 16, and I've also been known to buy a bottle of Bushmills single malt 16 as that is the finest Irish whiskey ever made.

Beer, and I mean good beer, is one of man's greatest achievements.

Drew, you mentioned the Brooklyn Chocolate Stout. I love that stuff. Every time I go to NYC we hit up the brewery. Last time I was there we ended up carrying home like 4 cases of the stuff on the subway.

McEwans Scotch Ale and also their IPA are probably my 2 favorites right now. I also like Boddingtons Pub Ale.

I wish I lived in the Northeast again because there are so many microbrews up there. I just don't see them down here.

Ah yes McEwans Scotch Ale is a great beer. I haven't been able to find it around here but was lucky enough to try some in Scotland.

When I lived in Colorado, I was in beer heaven. Every town had a microbrewery and they were all fantastic. Now that I'm on the east coast, I have to actually look to find good beer. Anythign microbrew and anything from colorado would be my favorites.

YES! The local place is now carrying Delerium Tremens...ahh, I could live off of this stuff.
