Hey everyone,
I went to Canada for the weekend and wanted to try the beers they had out there. Finding unique brews was not a problem since the liquor and beers were both available together at the local liquor store.
I did find one thing unique about Canada's selection of offerings; most were light, medium bodies lagers or refreshing pilsners. I didn't find any high percentage brews being sold for less than $12 a bottle. Even though I was disappointed in not fnding some good IPAs or stouts, I did gain more respect for pilsners.
Normally, I don't like pilsners because of thier bittery finish that I see here in the states, but Canada offered some pilsners that were crisp and all around refreshing; thanks Canada.
Unfortunately I was not able to venture into a hole in the wall that offered great brews, but I did find the Syndicate Brewing Co. It was here that I tasted some well rounded brews that didn't pack punches like many of the breweries here in America. Though I enjoy punches to my palette, these flavors actually caressed them and made near love to them. The flavors in Canada were not bold, but found ways to work with each other in a way that allowed the drinker to enjoy while being curious.
I hope you enjoyed this brief summary of my time in Canada as a conquistador (explorer).

Jaimes Brother
