Try the Oettinger weissbier. That's much better than the regular one.

The German Purity Laws ensure a nice, clean brew every time. If you want reliable cars, scat porn and good beer, the Krauts are the way forward.

I have to agree with many of the posters that the Canadian standard beers (ie Canadain, Blue stc.) are not that great. That being said, it is infinitely better than the piss that they swill south of the border. Please don't reply with a post about Steve's Nut Brown which is made down the street from your cousin's house in Toledo, because I have no idea what that tastes like.

There are a few Canadian mainstream beers that are exceptional though: Alexander Keiths IPA, Sleeman's, Rickards Red and Waterloo Dark to name a few. As for smaller breweries, I think Creemore Springs Ale, Mill St. Stock Ale and Steamwhistle Pilsner are all fantastic (although you are unlikely to find them anywhere outside of Canada.)

seeing as i've never heard of ANY of the canadian beers you've mentioned or seen them sold in California or Korea, i'd still have to disagree that they are mainstream.

sierra nevada probably has a similar distribution to the ones you've named, and it's a fine beer.

how about samuel adams and all its variations? that's distributed nationwide and it's great. you can even buy it in korea.

let's be clear on what is mainstream: if budweiser, coors, and miller are mainsteam american beers, then i guess the canadian ones are labatt and molsen.

German, Belgian and Czech beer are my favorites. My favorite brand of beer is Paulaner Hefeweisse.

I like proper english beers the best. Real ales. I had a Adnams summer pale ale when i was in Londinium last and it tasted like sweet sweet ecstacy. Then I had some ecstacy and it tasted like Adnams pale ale. Guiness drunk in Irleand is almost impossible to beat though.

you dislike sierra nevada and samuel adams? wow - didn't know canadian beer was so overwhelmingly amazing. and i only pointed out that sam adams was served in korea to note that it has wide distribution - not that the korean beer market has good taste. after all we all know they import that pilsner urquell crap.

This is lame!! Could it be that people have different tastes? Or perhaps they prefer what they are used to?

For example, Pilsner Urquell is a fine beer, but I don't really like it that much. I prefer all other Czech beers to it. Doesn't mean it isn't a good beer though.
