Musky or Specks 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. Edit:spelled beer as beef The Best Is McAuslan St Ambroise Oatmeal Stout worthy of its platinum medal. http://mcauslan.com/en/beer-facts/?brand=st-ambroise-en&id=446 Edited March 5, 2014 by Musky or Specks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rod Caster Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 It's in Evain, on the west side of hwy 101 before you get into Rouyn. Did some searching: It's called Chez Gibb (Crevier Gas Station) 25, rue principale, Évain, Québec, (819) 768-2954 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big bonus with that place is there always seems to be an attractive female working the pumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I also recommend the St. Ambrosie oatmeal stout-my favourite. There are many tasty "craft:" beers out there. Any many tasty beers out of Quebec. Guiness is boring in comparison but I'll drink it. For the hot summers I switch to the hoppy IPA style beers.

BillM Posted March 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 I've tried all of those... the Mill Street Stout isn't bad at all, had a few cans of that lastnight actually. Not a fan of the Brooklyn Dry Irish Stout, won't be buying that again.. Sinha isn't bad, nothing great but it's not bad.. Had some of the Tom Green Milk stout lastinght, it's about on par with a decent stout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adempsey Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 I was surfing the web and realized I haven't had a Black and Tan in a long time. Definitely overdue. I've been drinking too much wine.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctranter Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Hey Bill, glad you made this topic so I'll chime in with my pick. The best stouts I've had have been from the US, but my favourite local pick is from Hockley Valley microbrew. They make a few varieties that are a little different but the stouts are my favourite. Anyone else try/enjoy em? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralph Field Posted March 16, 2014 Report Share Posted March 16, 2014 Railway City Brewing has a stout called Blackhole available from November to April. It is a 6% beer. I don't know if it is sold at the LCBO orif you would have to go on a road trip to ST. Thomas which is near London to get some. They do have a website , if you are interested.

Paulus Posted March 18, 2014 Report Share Posted March 18, 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 Your buddy up in Thunder Bay, and his disciple down in Georgetown, brew their own. They also told me (and I'm about to try it myself) that Magnotta has really good kits to brew your own. If thou seeketh new Understanding, yea then thou wouldst brew thine own! p.- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
