    Miller Lite is like the ex-gf that's always down. No matter where I go, what I do, how little money I have, she's available. Aw, yeah.

    If you guys can find it outside of Canada, try to give Alexander Keith's India Pale ale a try. Its really good.

    Rickard's also makes a fine red, and their white (although I think it would qualify as a blond) is quite nice in the summer as well.

    If you're looking for something a little crisper, say, a pilsner, Steamwhistle is a fantastic example. However, I imagine its extremely hard to find outside of ontario, since they don't use many preservatives in their beer. Well, if you're touristing it up in downtown Toronto, stop by the Steamwhistle brewery. Its basically right across the street from the CN Tower.

    McAuslan is a small brewery in Montreal that makes an Apricot Wheat Beer. Again, its a very unique taste and is great for drinking on the patio in the summer.

    Unibroue is a microbrewing company in Quebec that makes a whole variety of beers that are very different from what you normally find. More, I don't know, historical. Some of them still use secondary fermentation in the bottle, some are extremely strong, but by and large, they all taste like something you would have gotten centuries ago. Definitely worth checking out if you can find some.

    One of the most interesting beers I've had is the Nickelbrook Apple Pilsner. It tastes like beer with apple. Not cider, apple. It's a really unique taste and its great for clearing bad tastes from your mouth for some reason.

    Worldwide, I think one of my absolute favorites is Tennets, a Scottish beer. Its a smooth bitter, tastes kind of like guiness without the thickness I would say. Also, DAB from Germany is another really great beer.

    When I used to imbibe alcohol (I can't anymore - medication interference) I enjoyed Yuengling Lager. Yuengling is America's oldest brewery.

    Sam Adam's Summer Ale. Good stuff. When not in that mood it's Shiner Bock. The grocery store beer here sucks though because for some reason Oklahoma thinks 3.2% beer is good enough for us. Bastards. Have to pay liquor store prices for brew. Can't get over 3.2% beer in typical domestics because of the stupid state as well.
