All right...when we were young we just referred to Labatt, Molson etc
collectively as 'Montreal beer'. In those days Montreal beer cost more
than the local stuff...(Olands, Keiths, Schooner, Moosehead, Alpine etc).

When I drank, I thought Moosehead was the best beer on this side of the
Atlantic. When in Europe, I loved Pilsner Urquell (the export version) from
Czechoslovakia. In Czechoslovakia, Pilsner Urquell is atrocious, and the export
version couldn't be bought.

Those were the good ole days.

Never got there. It's on the list of places to go. I'm thinking of a trip to
Nord Kapp, Norway, by motorcycle. It's something the Guzzi riders in the
Nederlands do every few years, in the summer of course.

Ireland has some of the most friendly people you will ever find. Driving
was a challenge......using a left handed stick :-)
Best seafood I ever had was in Kinsale, on the southwest coast. It is neat
to be driving down the road, and be able to stop and wander through the
ruins of an old castle of abbey in the middle of a cow pasture.

For a stout, Guiness is just so-so, next time, try a Beamish, or even a
Murphy's

Lablatt, Molson and Moosehead are too similar to Budweiser, the only good
beer I had in Canada was a beer called "I P A" it stands for India Pale
Ale. It is a great ale with a very hoppy flavor.

here's a bit of history for you...the reason India Pale Ale was
developed. http://www.keiths.ca/k_theman/k_theman_ipa.htm

Nice history lesson, the kind one can remember.

IPA will never be confused with Budweiser, it is a beer with some flavor to
it. If you get Sierra Nevada in Halifax check out their IPA, even a little
more hops than the Canadian IPA I had.

One of the few things I liked about California was that most bars have
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale on draft. If you like that, you'll also like
their wheat beer, it's very good.

I have never been a fan of Wheat or Whit Beers, they normally are too
"fruity" from the orange or lemon peels and the coriander used by most
brewers.

They are definitely better than a Bud Lite.
