[jakis]

Taking a trip to the states this weekend (I'm from Toronto) and stopping at preimer gourmet to pick up some tasty beers. Take a look at the list and let me know which ones I should get!

Labbatt's Blue Light.

This is actually too broad a question to have an easy answer to. They appear to have Mikkeller's single hop series, which would be nice for a homebrewer to try. I believe they are quite expensive in the US though.

For some reason their web page isn't working for me. Out of what I saw...Abita Turbo dog is good. I'm sure they have beers from Bell's and Stone. Both make great beers. If you have an android or iPhone check an app called pintley. It's kinda like the pandora of beer. You tell it what you like and it will recommend beers to try. I use it every time I travel.

You have to click on "NO" for the https pop-up to veiw the list, well I did anyways...

My pics:

Brew dog or Mikkeller - any of them

Christoffel - I had the yellow label, these are very cool short fat flip-top bottles and hard to find by me shgort of $75 a case...

DogFishHead - Chicory stout, 90min IPA, Burton Baton anything else on that list is VERY subjective, some people like the 120min and the WW Stout, personally I thought they were both gawd awful.

Elysian - night owl, interesting brew

Heather Ales - Fraoch, one of my personal favorites and VERY different.

Lagunitas - any

O'haras - celtic stout

Oscar's - 10 fiddy and old chub (yes they are cans)

Rouge - any

Stone - any

Victory - any

Firestone Walker Double Jack. If it's fresh, buy it. Quite possibly the best Double IPA in the country.

Bear Republic - Racer 5
Clown Shoes - Hoppy Feet
DFH - India Brown, Palo Santo
Great Divide - Yeti
Green Flash - West Coast IPA, Hop Head Red
Jolly Pumpkin - Bam Biere
Lagunitas - any
North Coast - Old Rasputin
Ommegang - Hennepin, 3 philosophers
Oskar Blue - Any, but especially G'Knight
Southern Tier - any (except old man winter - bleh)
Troeg's - Nugget Nectar


Man, serious lack of Michigan beers at that store!

I haven't read the whole list, but I just had Ithaca Flower Power - IPA

Firestone Walker Double Jack. If it's fresh, buy it. Quite possibly the best Double IPA in the country.

Definitely one of my all-time favorites! I highly recommend this one if you are into IPA's!

A love that place. A staple of my time in Buffalo. Hasn't been updated in over a month, so I imagine the supply is slightly different anyway.


I really like Arcadia. Don't get it a lot in NY (well, at least the other part of NY)

Ithaca is good as well, although I don't care for the Flower Power personally, a little too floral an IPA for me. Just go wild! Get what looks fun!

Avery - Maharaja (if they get it back in stock)
Bear Republic - Hop Rod Rye
Elysian (if they get something from them back in stock)
Firestone Walker - Double Jack IPA
Full Sail - Session Black Lager
Lagunitas - Little Sumpin' Sumpin' Ale, and the Lucky 13 alt
Oskar Blues - take your pick
Rogue - lots of good ones, most out of stock, but love the Mocha Porter
Sierra Nevada - Bigfoot, and lots of others to choose from
Stone - lots to choose from, but I'd go with Ruination, and the RIS

depending on what you can get at home, you may want to pick up a new suitcase or two
