Your Favorite Canadian Beer?

Just wondering what everyone's favorite Canadian beer is? For mainstream beers, I've always been a huge fan of Alexander Keiths IPA....and is probably my favorite Canadian beer (not including micro breweries). Sleeman's No. 20 Anniversary Ale would be a close second. An honorable mention would also go to Kokanee.

As for micro breweries, my choices would be Picaroon's Best Bitter and Pump House's Scotch Ale.

What are your choices?

Commercial stuff.....

Dang, spilled my coffee and almost shot it up my nose. U 1 Funny guy Ian,
I like Rickard's Red and Corona (wo the lime)
If I can't get what I like, I'll enjoy anything. However, the less I like it the quicker I drink it. Can anyone say shotgun?

Keith's Red Amber is my number one for sure. This summer I discovered Big Rock Lime, and while I'm not one for 'flavoured' beers, this beer is a crisp, refreshing light lager that goes down great at the end of a hot day. Rickard's Red is my fallback.

Thirsty Beaver.

Can't go wrong with a name like that.

In the Okanagan? Try "Back Hand of God" stout from Crannog. Only available on tap though - what a shame.
