Follow beer writer, Troy Burtch, as he explores the wonderful world of craft beer and the pubs that serve it. Great Canadian Beer is a place to come to catch up on beer news, read tasting notes, check out event listings, and for pub previews and reviews.
Here is a segment from the Today Show where Canadian craft beer gets high praise from Lester Holt and Phil Lempert, MSNBC's food editor. The two men sample a bunch of BC beers and do the whole 'light vs. dark and heavy' thing that drives me nuts, but I'm sure the breweries that were involved aren't complaining. The video has a very good title, More Than Molson! Best Canadian Beers, but it seems that they only showcased BC breweries. Select beers from Phillip's, Swan's Buckerfields, Driftwood, Canoe Brewpub, and Vancouver Island were all tasted.
There were a couple of comments that Everett said that surprised me. One, he mentioned that craft brewers from Canada are better than the Americans, and two, that our craft beers are stronger. Let the comments begin!
Wow. Saying that Canadian microbrews are better than Americans is a pretty bold statement. I love our Canadian micros but there are a ton of awesome American beers out there.
And it was funny that Canada was only represented by BC since most of the highest rated micros seem to come out of Quebec.
