If you want good Canadian Beer try the following:
Out of Quebec: La Fin Du Monde "The End of the world" 9 percent and it'll get you pissed in no time comes in 750 millimeter corked bottles also by the same company and in the same bottles is "Trois Pistoles" 8 percent alcohol means three pistols.
Theres gulf islands blackberry port, pricy but delicious,
Pretty much anuything by granville island breweries is good, my personal favorites are their maple cream ale, the pale ale, and the lager is alright.
In true Vancouver Island style there is Lucky Lager, the beer all the locals drink, it's similar to how you guys would view PBR but it's 5 percent alcohol so it doesn't taste like water.
Don't bother with Molson anything Canadian isn't even Canadian anymore since they merged with coors. As well Kokanee isn't too gret but better than Canadian and Pilsner is about the same level.
There's also Vancouver Island Breweries they make an irish style ale thats good and their l;ager is pretty decent as well.
If I think of anymore I'll let you know.
I hate American beer,t hough there are some goodies out of Portland, you guys in Port have the best beer I've had in the states. But the generic brands, miller,pbr, bud, coors, are all terrible they taste like water and you have to drink twice as much as ours to get pissed what is the alcohol by vloume anyways like 3.5 percent.
My favorite beer of all time is Faxe strong from my native Denmark, 8.4 percent comes in a half liter can for like 2 bucks two or three of those bad boys and you're doing swell. One time I drank 10 and I can't remember what happened but I do remember getting sick.
