BillM Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 There must be! Cause I can't be the only one.. I've been making regular trips down to NY to pick up a few of my favs (Sam Adams Cream Stout, Left Hand Brewing Co Milk Stout Nitro, Bells Kalamazoo Stout, and about a dozen others)... Most if not all of these beers aren't even available in Canada, which really sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leaf4 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I like the Sam Adams, I don't venture too far into the stout, but if you haven't already, I suggest giving Innis & Gunn a try (original) it's not a stout but it's cask brewed and delicious, if possible get it in the glass bottle, tastes better to me than when it's in a can.

BillM Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I've tried all of the Innis & Gunn varieties, as well as pretty much all the stouts available here in Ontario by any of the well known breweries... I was hoping someone would chime in with an Ontario craft brew stout I haven't tried yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Can't tell you if it's readily available but R&B from BC have a Bacon stout that was hard to put down. A buddy brought some over at Xmas and I never asked where he got it. I have to be in that perfect frame of mind for stout but bête noir out of QC is good and one that I have not found but read great reviews is from Yukon brewing company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joeytier Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Lots of great stouts coming from the upper states, especially the east coast. Wish there was more distribution. The muskoka cranberry stout was always a favourite of mine but it's just a seasonal of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singingdog Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'll second the Muskoka stout. Don't let the "double chocolate" put you off, it's not sweet at all. It is also one of the best rib braising stouts I have used. Ontario microbrew: check out Whitewater Breweries MIdnight stout....very tasty. http://whitewaterbeer.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solopaddler Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Muskoka Dark Billy, but then I do believe you're already familiar with that one. What I'd like to know is why do you always bring swill on all of our trips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Those might have been the tastiest beers I've ever had (The ones on the Sutton a close second!!!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is exactly what I was hoping for... I'm assuming you've tried the 8 Ball stout available at the LCBO as well? It's not to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

quickme Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 young's Double chocolate is pretty good. Been drinking more stouts this year so keeping my eye on this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homie66 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 I second the Tom Green beer. Beau's makes some excellent beers. I also liked a milk stout I tried at Christmas LA VACHE FOLLE IMPERIAL MILK STOUT. LCBO site says it's discontinued so grab a bottle if you can find it.

BillM Posted March 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Not a huge fan of Imperial stouts...Dry/Irish for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern 66 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hi Bill, Yes the eight ball is a good one as well. Another of my favorites is the Highlander Blacksmith Smoker Porter by the Highlander Brewing company located north of Algonquin park. I also like to stop by the Church Key brewing company north east of Campbellford in the summer for free samples. They make some great beer for taste testing.

Rod Caster Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) There are some good and some horrible stout brews in Quebec. I once in a while visit a Crevier depaneur just south of Rouyn-Noranda that has a mind blowing selection of beers you've likely never heard of.

adempsey Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Although they don't make any stouts, the beers I've had from Lake of Bays Brewing Co. and the Great Lakes Brewery are pretty good. The Winter Ale and Orange Peel Ale from GLB are a nice treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbait22 Posted March 5, 2014 Report Share Posted March 5, 2014 Check out Publican House Brewery http://www.thepublicanhouse.com/ourbeers.php in Peterborough. Yummm The Publican House Ale This full flavoured ale has unique Pilsner attributes, creating well balanced malt and hop character. This crisp beer has a layered complexity, with biscuit and apricot notes. Publican House Ale is available all year. Square Nail Pale Ale Our West Coast style pale ale starts off with pine and citrus on the nose, with notes of toffee and citrus on the palette. With an IBU of 43, Square Nail has a bold finish with lots of hop character. We brew this beer all year. High Noon Ale Our most sessionable beer is crafted with high wheat malt content and gently hopped with traditional lager hops. The result is a clean, easy drinking experience perfect for hot, hazy summer days. This "live" wheat beer has a cloudy appearance, with refreshingly crisp citrus notes. Henry's Irish Ale This full flavoured dark ale is available in late fall and is perfect for shaking the chill off. Biscuit and toffee notes blend with a toasted nuttiness and finish with a gentle bitterness. Stonewall Stout Our all-barley stout is mildly carbonated, with a bouquet of fruitcake on the nose. A mocha coloured head tops this decadent brew, with espresso and dark chocolate notes and a dry finish. A cold weather warmer, we craft this beer in late winter. Eight or Better Our premium beer that we only brew once per year and package in 750ml bottles. At 8.1% ABV, this Belgian style trippel is perfect for after dinner, fireside sipping and is crafted with Abbey malt and two row malted barley.
