I'll have to remember Fat Tire then - my family is from the midwest and I usually visit once a year (or so).

I was in KC last NOV and tried a local wheat beer there. I don't recall the name, but it was absolutely wonderful. It had all sorts of chafe floating in it. It wasn't a light colored beer - just slightly less dark than a Sam Adams. My brother made venison chili and we drank a 12 pack of the wheat beer with it - what a fantastic combination.

Tahts, Alexander Keiths is brewed in Halifax (since 1820). It's an excellent beer. Anyone visiting Halifax should tour the old brewery, I did a couple years ago and it was a good time.

Startup;

Thanks for the link. Do you ever go to the birthday celebration? That sounds like a blast.

Is Keith's available in the US? I didn't see anything about distribution on the site - though I did read about their seasonal beers (available only in NS - damn, damn, damn..)


The small town I grew up in was originally a German settlement. We (the town) celebrated Oktoberfest every year with German costumes, bands, food and beer...... It was always a blast and the beer was simply unbelievably good.

One of my goals in life is traveling to Germany - just to drink their beer.

Speaking of German Beer....ya ever tryed or heard of SPRECHER in Wi.?

Theie HEFE WEISS is awesome!!

not to mention a great line of soda!

Sprecher is a great beer and a great root beer

keith's is owned by labatt. only found in canada.

molson export is fantastic. it's a shame they don't export it anymore. i love molson canadian, but export beats it.

i had a kokanee once (another canadian beer, BC, i believe, that labatt now owns).


favorite beers to mow the lawn with :strohs/old style

favorite domestic standards: NONE I hate bud/budlight, gd/gd light, miller lite. never had meister brau. miller lite as we know it today is the old formula of meister brau light.

micros: bell's oberon, a****er block hell (out of detroit).

I forgot to mention this great Canadian beer, Sleeman. Personally, I like the Cream Ale, Honey Brown Lager and Steam. I also love the look of the bottle.

Is Sleeman found in the U.S.?

Sleeman is here in N.E.
Yes it is a good beer.
Love the bottle with no label.
Kinda classy

Talking of Sleeman, I saw in this morning's paper that they acquired a Quebec-base brewery (Unibroue), which makes some spectacular beers. Some have alcool level exceeding 8% (I think the strongest is 10.5%). I don't know why I didn't mention them before.

I love "La Fin du Monde", "La Maudite" and "U".

Unibroue's product list

sleeman's imported through leoni imports of northville, michigan, which is about a stone's throw from where my dad lives.

all over the lansing area now. it's fantastic beer, especially the honey brown. they have a new beer out, sleeman clear, another low carb creation.
