Anyone try the new Alexander Keiths Hop series beer yet? May just be up here in Canada.
Wondering what its like.

I had the Cascade "IPA" on Saturday... boring, to the max. It's definitely not an IPA, in my opinion, but it's not awful
Fishing in Temagami? I'm from Haileybury (45min north) and live in Powassan, so i've spent lots of time fishing the small lakes around there. Nice area.
I will try the beer but i'm not rushing out to get it.
If more Canadian breweries packaged in bombers I'd personally be more likely to try more from here. I can't ever bring myself to buy a six pack of something I've never tried. I pretty much know what I'm going to get...bland, non adventurous swill for the most part. Thankfully we get a lot of good US beers here in Alberta. No Sierra Nevada though![]()
I didn't think there was anything north of Temagami.
It's a beautiful place. I've been up there Winter and Summer. I like both.
There seems to be new breweries opening up semi frequently here in Alberta, but their offerings are pretty generic for the most part (blonde ale, English IPA, etc).
I think it's an ok beer, just don't expect it to be an IPA as the name implies.
It's a gateway beer for BMC drinkers. My dad drinks Rickards red (ugh) and enjoyed the Keiths I gave him to try.
I am in Minneapolis on business and I wanted to buy some Surly but the Liquor store was sold out. What did I buy? A 4 pack of Barking Squirrel a Canadian beer.
In Ontario, the craft scene is booming. I was talking to the beer guy at a local LCBO and he told me that there are too many new beers right now and they are having trouble fitting them into their product listings, since they must have a certain turnover to get shelf space.
As for the Beer Store carrying craft beers, their entry costs are prohibitive for microbrewers, so only the big craft brewers can get listed.
As for the Alexander Keith Hop Ales, I've tried both and the only word that comes to mind is 'meh'.
