Edit: I think I misread your comment! Sorry in advance, I thought you were saying Ontario didn’t have good beer.
Original content:
That’s not true at all, you probably don’t even have to go very far to find a good brewery near you, in every major town and city in the province.
Just to name fantastic breweries I’ve personally been to: Bicycle, Muskoka Brewery, Small Pony, Whiskeyjack, Gateway City, Tooth and Nail, Whitewater.
Yeah, IPAs were super popular during the start of the microbrew days, but these days there is so much diversity in Ontario beer.
If you want something lighter have a Creemore pilsner, Mill St Organic, a Farmers Daughter wheat beer, a small pony sour, or a Whisjeyjack Cold Front. Want something heavier, go for a Beaus or a Calabogie brown cow. Want an IPA pick up Muskoka Detour or a Flying Monkey.
Seriously we have a ton of good beer that’s worth trying.
Nah, you read me right. I'm absolutely ragging on Ontario beer, but ESPECIALLY so on LCBO.
You're right, there are a few nice beers here and there. The pony sours are very nice. Left-field has some great stuff. Tooth and nail has had some fantastic colab beers, and their standard lineup is quite passable. But where are our Belgian style ales? Our west-coast style IPAs? Where are the Baltic porters and imperial stouts? I want a full bodied malty IPA. I want a double IPA with some seriously lacto funky notes, not just "this baby can fit so much hops".
We're just SO unadventurous, and I think a lot of it has to do with LCBO. I used to be able to get all that stuff, but selection has shrunk and shrunk.
Make Ontario craft work for their spot on the shelf. Too much protectionism is bad for consumers.
