Do they suck as much as US macros?

We do have some kickass micros here, but they may take a while to propagate down south. I do love me a 15% ale.

Oh, believe me, US macros suck :D

Except Sam Adams, they’re all right. But they’re not really a true macro, they’re a craft brewery that still makes a load of weird experimental beers. And Coors has a craft beer label called Blue Moon that’s good, if not particularly exciting.

I’ve had some pretty good micros in vancouver BC, they were nice in the “local brewpub that makes its own tasty stuff” vein. But the beers in Quebec, it’s enough to make me want to visit for the beer alone.

The strongest thing I’ve had is Samichlaus, which is 14%. I tend to hover around the Belgian styles (which is why I like Unibroue so much), dopplebocks, and imperial IPAs, and basically anything that shows up at the Portland bottle shops that looks good 8-)
