What are some good Premium Canadian beers that are widely available beside Molson or Labatt?!
I am an American I have Sleemans, Moosehead, and of course Molson and Labatt!. What are some other good Canadians beers i can try that are widely available because besides the other four brands i named i don't really know of any!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Answers:
My favourite beer is Alexander Keith's India Pale Ale!. I also like Steam Whistle and Rickard's Red!. Molson Export is quite nice as well if you are looking for something from Molson other than Canadian!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
From Wikipedia:
In British Columbia, craft brewers such as Spinnaker's Brew Pub, Swan's Brew Pub, Vancouver Island Brewery, Phillips, Lighthouse, Tree, Nelson, Raven, Storm, R+B and Howe Sound, amongst others, provide a wide variety of craft brews in various styles, while in Eastern Canada, brewers like MacAuslan, Unibroue, Cameron's Brewing Company and Wellington do the same!. Central Canada and the prairies have a few very high quality craft brewers such as Wild Rose Brewing in Calgary and Alley Kat in Edmonton!. However, there are quality brew pubs and a few microbrewers (like Saskatoon's Padockwood, who produce risky, high gravity IPAs and ales) to be found!.

Alexander Keith's of course, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia!.
Steam Whistle is an excellent beer based out of Toronto!.
Those are my two favourite premium Canadian beers, definitely beat Molson and Labatt, which isn't terribly hard lol!.
I must admit though, I haven't tried many other Canadian brands other than those two and the mainstream ones!. How unpatriotic of me!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I was going to suggest Unibroue like Alesmith said!. Molson (owned by Coors Brewing) and Labatt are cheaply produced beers just like the watery American stuff like Bud, Miller, etc!. Check out some American microbrews!.!.!.Rogue, Dogfish Head, Stone!.!.!.the US produces some beers that are among the best in the world!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
The only decent Canadian beer with good distribution in the United States is Unibroue, as a matter of fact it's probably the only Canadian craft beer that I don't have to really go out of my way to find here in the Midwest!.
