    Thanks everyone. I'm going to have my time filled scouring the local stores and taps. Lots of people mentioning Four Winds it seems.

    Must say that's the first time i've seen Brewsters be "highly recommended". Have they changed dramatically since I last tried their brews?

    I'm always a little surprised by how the highest reviews (completely unscientific observation) of Flying Monkeys beers are almost always from Americans in Ohio/Michigan/etc. where I know they distribute. It makes me wonder how some of the better beers from here would be rated if they had cross border distribution. Flying Monkeys is fine, but other than buying Chocolate Manifesto every once in a while to fill trade requests, I usually pass them by.

    Their regular brews are mid-level. However, their Mad Hops IIPA I really enjoyed and the Oilberta stout has got to be one of the best straight up stouts I've had. Not a fan of their German and Belgian styles, though. But to each their own, eh. Cheers!
