Very nice. I also picked up a 6er of Brooklyn Black Chocolate Stout from the Winter 07-08 release. Pretty hefty at 10.6% but apparently it drinks nicely. I was surprised to see it locally though. Apparently there are only 180 cases in all of Canada.

    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. Rickards white is also a great wheat beer, along with schneider weisse.
    Sleemans original draft is a great summer beer.

    My favorites would have to be heineken, becks and kronenbourg pretty much i like most decent european lagars.
    most the beers here i have never heard of have to keep my eye open for some of them.

    Just picked up a couple of bottles of Left Hand Warrior IPA. I'm sipping one now. Look for a review real soon.

    I like the creaminess of Boddingtons Pub Ale and the thickness of a Sam Smith Outmeal Stout. I also am a big fan of New Castle Brown Ale and Blue Moon unfiltered wheat.

    we just got a Total Wine by my house and they have every beer you could think of. my friend and i picked up some singles of sam smith all types and a sixer of Kronenbourg 1664 that i first tried while i was in Paris, its pretty good for a lighter beer. we also have newcastle, fat tire, and wicked pete's strawberry blonde (fav for now) in the fridge right now. sacramento has a couple of microbrews and chico has the sierra nevada brewery that we try to visit at least once a year around november cause we love the winter brew.

    "Prost" Sam Smith's Oatmeal Stout is a fantastic beer. Their Tadcaster Porter is also very good. If you like darker beers, New Belgium's 1554 is a great beer as wel..

    Just out of curiosity, as I've seen it on other boards, but what does "Primary" and "Secondary" mean?

    I was in Portland weekend before last and found a microbrew in a can. I didn't have my wallet or anything, but wished I did. I think microbrews would be much better if they were in the can.

    Does anyone else have access to Deschutes Brewery beers?

    Primary is where your fermentation takes place. A secondary is often (wrongly) called a fermenter, but no fermentation should take place. Some people use it as a clearing tank. You move the beer off the sediment in your primary. Secondarys can be used for long term aging or I use them to make extra additions to my beer - coffee, chocolate, chicory, etc ...

    Here's my line up.

    Primary:
    Coffee Malt Stout
    Coffee/Chicory Stout

    Secondary:
    Robust Porter

    Bottled:
    Nut Brown Ale
    Gamera's Double Chocolate Stout
    Hall & Oatmeal Stout
    Sweet Stout
    Christmas Ale

    As for beers, my all time favorite is Skinny Dip by New Belgium. It's a summer seasonal, so it's only available in the summer, but it as very refreshing with some great flavors. I am spolied here in CO to have New Belgium Brewery in state and get all of their beers. You guys should try all New Belgium brews you can find and also Odell's which is another Ft. Collins brewery. Good Stuff!

    +1 on CO. I had the opportunity to stay in Cherry Creek this past summer and tasted several of the offering around there. I loved seeing all of the hops growing along the creek. Makes me want to go back during picking season.
    Secondary isn't always a misnomer. I not only use it to finalize my primary fermentation, I also use it for clearing, additional adjuncts, and I may also toss in some more of the same yeast strain just before bottling or kegging a real ale.
