First and foremost I would like to say Happy Canada Day to all my fellow Canuck beer enthusiasts. There are many, many reasons why it is great to be a Canadian beer drinker and to celebrate our nation’s 145th Birthday I want to, in the best Canadian fashion, give a top ten list of the reasons I think being a Canadian beer geek is so great.
- An amazing emergent and thriving craft beer culture that continues to push brewing boundaries.
- Driftwood Brewing Company in Victoria, BC.
- All the fabulous Quebec microbreweries bringing Belgian styles to Canada.
- The friendly beer people from brewers to bloggers to importers to cicerones to sales reps we are all one big happy family encouraging and supporting craft beer love.
- Molson Canadian (you have to know what you don’t like to brew what you do).
- All the foodie-centric tap rooms bringing us rare casks, endlessly rotating taps and hard-to-find bottles.
- Central City Brewing Company for any number of reasons; the brew pub, the cask fests, the award-winning IPA, the incredible liquor store …need I go on.
- The Great Canadian Beer Fest in Victoria, BC.
- Church-Key Brewing Company in Campbellford, ON.
- We can enjoy our craft beer in one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world!!!
