Something more about Canadian beers?

As a newcomer with Canadian beers since the big sampling at Stockholm Beer I have tried to get some more information about the sampled beers and the breweries. During that search a stumpled on a great Canadian beer blog that I thought I could share with others. So if you ever get to Canada or want to learn whats hot in Canada, here is the url.

Great Canadian Pubs and Beer

One of the beers we sampled was the Propeller IPA, and I found a short article about that brewpub that was interesting to read, see below.

Propeller Micro Brewery

Seems that we have to add a short trip to Canada during our New England Mega beer trip that we are planning as the next big beer adventure.

The Oliver Twist beer list at Stockholm Beer 2007, Part I (Canada)

Here is the current list of beers from Canada that Oliver Twist will provide for us beer drinkers at this years Stockholm Beer.

For all of you joining the event have a great time at the festival and especially at OT if you like beers from the US and Canada (English real ale will not be sold by OT this year but probably provided by others).

For the rest of you, well you are missing 2 great beer weekends in Stockholm.

Canadian beers in Sweden

We have been enjoying some Canadian beers the last couple of years and mostly in the form of the Unibroue brewery in Quebec (my personal favorite is the Raftman), but that's it.

Now I got informed by Jugge at Oliver Twist that they will skip the English real ales at this years Stockholm Beer and instead concentrate on the normal US-micro beers that we have enjoyed the last couple of years, but will instead also add at least 8 breweries from Canada. I do not which, but it will be interesting to see what they have found for us. If you look at the great US-micros that they have provided, this seems to look very promising. Last year we were enjoying both Stone IPA and Russian River Pliny The Elder on tap, so we are looking forward what OT will give us this year.

I have very limited knowledge in good Canadian breweries (except Unibroue), but hopefully I will have the chance this time to learn a bit more during the festival.

What do you think?, what are the favorite Canadian breweries, if any?
