Having just got back from Canada, where I tried a number of Canadian beers, I'm missing them already. They were (mostly) lush. Anyone know if there's a place near by, or online, where you can purchase a wide range of beers from around the globe? Not just the popular shit (e.g. Budweiser).

I like the sound of that where can you get hold of it?

Sam, have you tried your local market and ask if they could bring it in for you. I seem to recall Labatt on the shelf at my Morrisons and it will be loads cheaper not having to pay for shipping.

I was impressed with that fact that the good companions and the cricketers sell Cobra beer on the tap with the cricketers being under £3

I am a big fan of Molson but not LaBatts.

i am only kidding mate its easier to get than fosters now - no bad thing either, much better than most of the slop in your local corner shop. i agree with you its very good indeed, well done the poles and opportunistic corner shop owners for introducing it to britain.

me too.

Why can't we have nice lagers on the taps in our pubs?
I blame the kids, and the marketing people, and the press.

very true, one of the few shit things about drinking in England. We cannot be trusted with strong lager outside the home. Look how everyone goes 'ooh' when you order a stella, and how the mainland europeans do lower volume versions for the british drinking by volume market. shame really.

i remember when holsten got taken off in the spanish lady in saltdean about two decades ago (well it was exactly, the day after the tv got smashed up after platt scored against belgium) due to its lunacy inducing qualities. shame as holsten is great on tap.

 

[willyfantastic]

which beers did you try whilst in Canada?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

If you tried anything from the "Sleeman" Canadian brewery, apparently that's a branch of my family. Never tried it myself.

Great beers-that was all I drank, beer wise, when I lived there. Of course I drank Timmie's during the day.
