    is that from big rock? haven't tried it cause i'm not really a fan of big rock.

    IMO the best local stout by far is the "Black Pilsner" from brew brothers/amsterdam rhino.

    they have it on tap at the hop in brew (which, coincidentally, is one of the best local pubs for pizza and a dope microbrews poured correctly).

    Pimp. I'll be going there.

    Naw, espresso stout isn't a brand. It's dark stout with actual espresso in it. My favourite coffee and favourite beer in one drink haha.

    Midnight sun by Yukon Brewing Company is great, widely available, pretty strong at 6.8% alcohol and cheapish ($12-14). More importantly it is MUCH better than Big Rock Espresso Stout which manages to taste nothing like coffee or stout, quite an achievement.



    And don't drink light beer. The companies that make them have nothing but contempt for the purchaser, take a look at the advertising. Try vodka straight from the freezer or a nice whisk(e)y. Or have a nice strong belgian style beer like Maudite or Trois Pistoles, at 9% alcohol there's no way your going to drink enough to get love handles.

    I can never find fresh steinlager in Canada. Every time I've bought it here it's always skunky like it's been on the shelf for years.

    Big Rock has a seasonal called Espresso Stout. The brewmaster describes it as a stout that hints at coffee, as opposed to a cold bubbly cup of coffee. I've been drinking Mill St. Brewery Coffee Porter lately. It's more coffee than Big Rock's Espresso Stout, but good also.

    i feel ya man, i am 5'9 and 175

    I am carrying like 25lbs beer fat
