Are there any premium/micro/craft beer drinkers on the hipbase? Come on, somebody has to be into the good stuff.

i most definitely am, I cant drink that macrosh*t beer.

Count me in. Having recently (well, a year ago) moved to Calgary, I'm enjoying Big Rock's Trad and Grasshopper. When I lived in Vancouver I loved OSB Pale Ale and Shaftbury Cream Ale - with the latter probably my favourite beer of all time. Between Vancouver and Calgary I lived in Oakville (closer to your neck of the woods) and I really liked the stuff put out by Camerons - particularly their Cream Ale (hmmmm, I seem to like the cream ales).

Camerons is a killer brewery, I am a big fan of the camerons auburn ale

i hear that Dave Matthews Band love premium beer

:lol:

thats a cheap shot into a good thread :nooooo

I love premium beer. I'm a Hacker-Pschorr fan, but have been turned on to many imports lately. I play at a bar called The Only Cafe on Sundays, and they have over 100 different kinds of beer. I've been expanding my palette these days.

I have to concur with the other guys. Cameron's is a great beer. I actually met the brewmaster when his beer was just coming out. I drank from one of the first 9 packs, in his basement brewery. Very nice.

I'm going out to get some today, and I'm hoping to pick up a few from the following list...

Dogfish Head Raison d'Etre
Chimay Blue Cap
Unibroue La Terrible
Samuel Smith's Winter Welcome
Delirium Tremens
Rogue Yellow Snow Ale
Orval Trappist Ale
St. Peter's Winter Ale
Samuel Smith's Imperial Stout
Weltenburger Kloster Asam-Bock
Rodenbach Grand Cru

Now that is very cool.

After trying Camerons for the first time a buddy and I started looking into the viability of us opening up our own-microbrewery (since neither of us are brewmasters and have never run our own businesses, we thought we'd be wildly successful). Some preliminary research into the cost of the capital required, not to mention the concept of trading in our day jobs for 100 hour work weeks with the omnipresent fact that we may lose our shirts (not to mention the money of friends and family who decided to invest) quickly made us reconsider.

Does Akaso count? It's a Japanese beer brewed in the Japanese prefecture of Guelph, Ontario by that great, ancient Japanese Brewmaster: Sleemans. I'm not much of a drinker, but I like that stuff.

Okanogan Springs 1516 Bavarian lager.
