Well, after hearing Lavan mention in a previous post that all us Canadians do is watch hockey and drink beer(it\'s true ... at least during playoff season).
I would have made this a poll, but there are way more than 10, and I\'m not sure if what we drink in Canada is the same as in the US (popular brands, Molson, Coors, etc), and I\'m sure it\'s not the same as overseas. I decided to ask:
What brands of beer do ya\'ll drink?
Moosehead - ahhh, Canada\'s oldest independant brewery... Pretty much all I drink, 24 outta 25 times... A smooth tasting lager, with hardly any aftertaste at all....
Kokanee - A slightly cheaper beer, from BC, not bad, stronger flavor, little bitter aftertaste.

I\'m a Micro beer Nut, I\'m always looking for a good Micro Brew
but my favorites are (drum roll please)
Sammy Smith\'s : Nut Brown Ale
Guinness
Fosters (Oil Can, for waiting in line before the show)
Labatt\'s Blue
-
Damn! I forgot Guiness! I guess I was still in "stay at home with friends drinking storebought beer for the playoffs" mode, rather than "goto pubs, where Moosehead/Kokanee isn\'t always available" mode. Shucks.

Funny you should mention that, because I got a Samuel Smith t-shirt from a pub when I was in London, and I happened to wear it today. Sam Smith is good, but I think it doesn\'t travel well across the Atlantic in those clear glass bottles.
I prefer real beer; in other words German beer. I like
Bitburger (http://www.bit-koeln.de/)
Warsteiner (http://www.warsteiner.de/)
Jever (http://www.jever.de/) Ah yes Jever is still virtually impossible to find in North America, but I have good memories of it.
Also Valentins and Eichbaum (don\'t ask). Of American Beer I usually just buy Anchor Steam or one of the few Weizen Biers you can. I can never get tired of that.
I\'m so glad I love beer. Like wouldn\'t be the same without it.

The hell it don\'t. Its the nectar of the Gods, I\'m sure they keep the bottles out of the light. Thats the only time you get into trouble with clear bottle beer, and all Sammy Smith beers are dark which doesn\'t go skunky like a regular blonde beer
Nut Brown Ale is to die for, I love them
-
palm is by far the best beer ever made, it\'s a belgian made beer and it tastes so good, you have no idea, in fact it shouldn\'t be called beer, it\'s in a league of it\'s own.

carling
stella artois
grosch
Becks

kronemberg ( not sure if thats spelt right)

I remember a thread like this a while ago.... it was cool. :)
I drink Carlsberg or Tuborg. :D
-
I\'m always getting different brands. Lately I\'ve really gotten into Amstel Light
For the "older" people, remember the TV commercial..."99 calories never tasted so imported, until they-imported Amstel Light" :)
-
I drink Coors Light. It\'s cheap and it tastes pretty good. The best part is the next morning you won\'t have the sh**s or puke.
-

I live on Bass Ale. I also love just about any of the micro brews out in Colorado. I don\'t know if I enjoy going out there skiing for the snow or the beer.
Oh yeah, Unknown: You have become quite the conasuer (sp?) of alcohol for still being in high school. You gotta love it.
-
Well i am a Jack Dainels kinda guy - any liqour you throw at me i can handle all night long, but since we are talking about beer:

Shiner
Budweiser
Miller Lite
Samuel Adams

Into Micro Breweries myself. Here is what has been tickling my fancy as of late:
KLB Nut Brown
KLB Raspberry Wheat
Most of the Upper Canada variety
Most of the Unibroue beers from Quebec, particularly
"La Fin du Monde"-roughly translated is "the End of the World". And, at 9%, the truth of this name is revealed, if over consumed, by an incapacity to function as a human being the following morning.
-
Carlsberg and Åbro, the 2 best beer in the world!!!
Thats IMO, ok?
-
ThorsinSkull splitter (pardon the spelling) is a Powerful Real ale that lives up to its name.
then theres my fav line up of real ales from Brouthon (there Scottish)
Old Jock another real ale (heavy)
Merlin (tastes light but has a powerful kick)
Black Douglus (mild useful endurence drink)
the Gillie (Sneaky and charming ale)
also there\'s
Orkney isle ale
oh and
Budviaer (pardon the spelling) but thats the REAL Euopean Budwiser thats been made years and years before the US BUD.
ha i drink Real Ale and proud of it........
Pffft ....... i frown on you larger drinking fairy boys.

Beer from my childhood:
Esslinger: comes only warm and in bottles served from old wooden crates.
Golden Anniversary: cheaper than Busch, and boy can ya taste it!
Bud: ol\' faithful. You can always come home.
But, the cream of the crop isn\'t even beer. Its Barley Wine. This stuff is great! Try Ol\' Rasputin or Red Devil I believe they are called. Hits ya right between the eyes!
-
You can add Carlsberg\'s to my list.
I only get them when I\'m in Canada but thats one smooth beer
-
Coors Light
Keystone
Icehouse
Kurt Angle
Canada is lacking 2 things. Don\'t make me say it again, it\'s true. The first is Olympic heroes and no Ben Johnson does not count. The second is Memorial Day. And here in the states we celebrate Memorial by having barbecues.
And I realize in Canada, you can\'t have barbecues, because you\'d probably be attacked by a moose or a caribou or even a grizzly. It\'s true, it\'s true; hold on a second. On second thought, the Grizzlies don\'t beat anyone here in Vancouver, let alone anywhere else. IT\'S TRUE.

Bud Ice, MGD, and Hineiken are my favorites.. expecially Bud Ice. This probly sounds corney, but it reminds of me of the good ol\'e days when me and some buddies would skip school almost every day at lunch in Miranda\'s beat up old station wagon and pick up a 24 case of it in the bottle, go somewhere, and chill out.
