Go to the czech republik and order any beer you want. Then travel to poland and order lager beer. Then go to the southern parts of germany for wheat beer and Essen + surrounding areas for heavy malt / black beer only. Then visit austria and enjoy pils and märzen bier.

Have the best time of your live.

edit : For the biggest diversity / strange+exotic flavours, go to belgium of course.

Here in Texas, one of the favorite local beers is Shiner Bock. We don't drink very dark beer, but it's superb on a hot summer night ice cold coming out of a tap.

As far as imports, I have a fondness for a beer called Spaaten.

To be fair, ale is a type of beer. Not the same.

I'd say find a beer store with a big selection and try some different kinds. Different categories of beers have very different flavors and have a lot of variation within them. It's really fun to explore good beer. If you're serious about it, it might be worth investing in some different glasses, though they're hardly necessary. Beeradvocate is a great site to check out if you'd like to learn more about beer.

My favorite broadly commercially available beer in the states (dunno about Canada) is New Belgium's 1554.

That Gulden Draak is amazing. We would get a bottle from time to time in Uni.

The other day my friend's and I were at the store and we all wanted to buy a beer none of us had ever had before.

We bought this beer solely based on the name.

We were extremely disappoint.

Molson Canadian, followed by Miller Genuine Draft in the summer, and KilKenny whenever I feel like a real beer.

Holsten Maibock, drank from a boot

[image loading]

No better way to drink an awesome beer than from a boot :D Holsten Maibock is pretty strong (7%) and tastes great. Such a good beer. If you ever find it, I highly recommend trying one.

Creemore Springs is pretty fantastic as well. Holsten can be pretty hard to find sometimes, so Creemore is my next favourite.

Rickard's Dark is super delicious as well. I usually alternate between buying Rickard's Dark and Creemore.
