Went local this weekend:







Also the local Earl's in Saskatoon now has a craft brewery and the local Uni Pub had their Grapefruit Hefe on tap ... wasn't awful.

Grasshopper is solid ... their whole line up is decent. Warthog is a go to for me if a pub doesn't have anything better.

Real tasty for a Pilsner. Lots of sweet and bitter going on.

Sorry- my mistake. Trad is ok. Warthog was the one that I didn't like.


Those are the only 3 I've had from their lineup. The sampler is pretty pricey over here.

I haven't had a beer from Big Rock that I've liked. I won't even try anything from them anymore. They're up there with Trafalgar.

Grasshopper is good.


Nothing from trafalgar is good. Seriously. I don't know how they're in business.




Side note: Muskoka's "Twice as Mad Tom" IPA is pretty good. Gets too bitter by the end of a bottle, but until it overpowers you, it's good.

King Vienna Lager is nice as well.

Their wheat beer is one of the worst I've ever had in my life. I haven't tried the Shock Top beers so I am sure those are worse but it's hard imagining such a thing.

And don't even get me started on their Warthog. People buy that poop, seriously?

You could tell me they were new Molson beers and I wouldn't suspect you were lying. They're that bad.

edit: oh, and they make a light lime lager. 'nuff said.

I think Warthog is easily worse than stuff I've had from Molson.


Molson's problem is it just doesn't have a lot of flavour, IMO.


Warthog has flavour... it;s just... bad.


But I like the grasshopper... bought it a few times and enjoyed it every time.

I'm going to get the Molson Canadian Wheat beer eventually for a laugh.

Out here in the Prairies it's as close to craft beer as you can get in a lot of places. Seriously, in most bars/pubs your options are Coors, Keiths, Rickards or Big Rock ... so you grow to tolerate it It's down right exotic to most

Guinness is my go-to beer in situations like that usually

Any of you Michigan guys had Kuhnhenn's Creme Brule Java Stout? My favorite, but pricey at $28 for a growler.

I've never had it (I'm not from Michigan) but I picked up some of their 4D recently. $8 a bottle. Pricey.

I haven't tried it yet but it's supposedly really good though.

Trafalgar is awful. Refuse to try anything by them ever again.
