Sorry if I missed this AW, but what town are you moving to?

I'm moving to Ontario near Toronto, about an hour away.

Good spot. I grew up about twenty minutes west of Toronto. I think you'll quickly learn to love it. Urban and rural within minutes of each other, best of both worlds and an endless list of things natural and man made to see and do. Just don't pin your hopes to that hockey team...

[vicariousmartyr]

My advice, come out west. Tranquility, nature, and hippies. Sure, we're ignored, but thats a blessing in its self. OH, and we have FRESH air to breathe. Toronto's a hole...yes, I realize thats gonna make some enemies.

All in good fun, guys. :lol:

Toronto and the GTA is an amazing, vibrant city :thumb: It's murderous during the summer heat wave season but the people are pretty friendly once you settle in. Next stop for me to visit is Vancouver and British Columbia :thumb:

As an american I think...ahhh screww it<<smopppt>>> (sound of beer opening) After reading all of this....I need a beer. being patriotic doesn't have anything to do with where you hang your hat, being american doesn't have anything to do with party lines, being drunk has everything to do with good music...enough said...burpp...

Well being a patriotic American is a sacrificial move when it comes to beer. It's not like you've got any good ones! :lol:

hock: I beg to differ:

Samuel Adams - various brands
Sierra Nevada - various brands
Anchor Steam
Great Lakes Brewery - various brands
Goose Island Beer Company - various brands
Rogue Ales - various brands

These are just a few of the many excellent American breweries offering delicious products....

You know I was just kidding, eh! Anyway, I haven't tried a couple of those (been in the US a lot and I've had a lot of beer I haven't liked at all) so maybe I'll give Sierra Nevada and Goose Island next time! Thanks for the recommendations!

I can never tell if people are joking about things like that; for all I know, the smaller-volume breweries could be completely unknown to alot of Canadians.

Yes, by all means, check out Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - it probably ranks as my #1 favorite Pale.....and their Porter (if you like that style) is also one of the better ones I've tasted.

And if you've never had Rogue Dead Guy Ale, it also is a must!

I love how this thread has changed since the beginning. I'll keep it rolling until it gets moved...LMAO!

I'm a big canadian beer fan...but the labatt's and molson we get in the states is not the same potion. Many of the members at my golf club are canadian and they bring me some samples now and then. We used to go to Habs games in Montreal and suck down a 4-tray of canadian between periods...no wonder hockey is so big up there.

Other beers to put on your list: Otter Creek, Magic Hat, Trout River...all great Vermont brews.

Alexander Keith's Pale Ale has, in my reckoning, the greatest draught ever. I've never had a Keith's draught I didn't like. Bottled, I stick with Sleeman's Cream Ale, Propellor, Atlantic Storm (both Halifax brews), and Schooner...not sure who makes Schooner. I think it's a Labbatt's subsidiary.

[dyersbay]

Come one guys this is the best beer of all time!

[grooveless touque]

That and Stella Artois, but they're both a little pricey for me here...

Whenever this stuff happens I hope the original creators of the thread don't mind that we got completely sidetracked....?

seriously, Toronto is a nice place to visit every once in a while but'd i'd never want to live there, so many nicer cities in Canada to live in...

Vancouver, Ottawa, Montreal, Edmonton, Calgary, and i've heard the East Coast is really nice too but i've never been, which is strange because that's where my family is origanlly from...

So much depends on where you're from and what your tendencies are. Toronto, for my money, is the best place in Canada to call home.

but it's so boring and flat. downtown Toronto is great, don't get me wrong about that, but the GTA as a whole is just one big boring urban sprawl of tall buildings and highways and box stores and shit and it's just really not my idea of a very nice place to live, there's no nature at all anywhere, maybe a bit of rolling hills and bush outside the city, and dirty ass lake Ontario, but that's about it..doesn't even come close to being as great as a city like Vancouver where not only do they have all the advantages of a big city, but they also have the outstanding natural beauty of the land, the ocean, the mountains, the forests, it's just astonishing, then you go to Toronto and it's just really really underwhelming.
