where can I find nectarous in the DT area??!!

Went to Blarney Stone with some buddies last week.

Tried some Irish beers they had on tap.

- the Kilkenny cream ale tasted like watered down crap; no flavour after sippin' it
- second pitcher we got was much better, The Harp lager was quite good.

Finally got to try the Hikari Imperial Dry from Powell Street/Fuggles and Warlocks.

Nice tart flavor, not too sour, quite floral. One of the better Sourweisse beers I have had.

Anyone know which liquor stores carry trappist beers?

Most do, BCLS or otherwise. Chimay is one of the more common brands they have, and there a couple more that I can't remember.

*Bumping thread

Has anyone tried the new Strathcona Brewery on Hastings? Passed by the other day and saw that they're finally open

Completely forgot about this thread lol

I'm curious if anyone has tried the Strathcona Brewery as well.

On a side note, while I was on the Island for holidays, I got to try a number of beers by Hoyne. They were awesome. Especially the Pilsner for those hot afternoon patio visits. Their Dark Matter was also very good as well. Now I have to see if I can find them around here in stores.

Been drinking Bridge's Side Cut a lot lately.

dark matter is in most places, even most BCLC's

Best/must-visit breweries along the Oregon coast?

I've got a couple nights in Portland as well.

Hair of the Dog was probably one of my favourites.

anyone have any recommendations for a good shandy? fucking miss rickards shandy.

might be sounding noob here. can't you just pick your own beer and clear pop and pour your own out or am i doing it wrong?

i was at the liquor store and picking out some tall cans to try and was pleasantly surprised by finding this guy here, might be my go to beer this summer:

Easy way to get girls drinking beers with ya also... "Ewwww.. beer! Try it, betcha like it!" :cool:

never usually a fan of beers which has a specific fruit associated with them, but this was really good:

ok, now you guys are just getting weird.

banana bread beer? da fuq? lolol

I've had the Banana Bread beer before. The flavour profile isn't as overwhelming as you would expect it to be. I wouldn't seek it out again, but not too bad at all.

^ yup, i had it just last week, it's starting to overboard but it's a once is enough type thing.

i tried it a while back just straight out of curiosity.

you're right about the flavor profile not being overwhelming
i don't know if it was the batch i got or if its always tasted like that but it's barely even close to a banana bread flavor...i was kinda disappointed cus i like banana bread

Bowen Island Summer Ale has been my goto beach drink this year. Deliciously refreshing!

Rickards shandy is shit compared to the German/Belgium/Austrian Radlers.

Stiegl makes as awesome Grapefruit rader. Its similar to what they serve at Oktoberfest in Germany. Lower alcohol level so you can drink it all day!

STIEGL - GRAPEFRUIT RADLER TALL CAN | BC Liquor Stores


Looking forward to drinking similar beers at Oktoberfest this fall :D

fat tug all the way

i fucking hate grapefruit so to me that stuff would be, "shit".

also, lower alcohol content? ROFL
