Raven, There are actually a Lot of good beers on the market. The Micro brew revolution really got brewing good beer into the mainstream.

30 years ago you had pilsners....as far as the eye could see, and that was about it. ocassional Guinness would pop up.

Good beer back then was St. Pauli Girl or Heineken.

Now you can go in a liqour store or "Packy" and get Porters, Stouts, Ales, Lagers, Heffewiezens, IPA's, ESB's, Belgian Abby Ales, Barley Wines. The list goes on and on. Beers with Fruit (Raspberry Wheat, Strawberry Blonde), Beers with Chocolate (Chocolate Stouts) , Beers with Honey (Honey Wheat), Beers with Maple Syrup (Maple Porters), beers with Vegetables (Pumpkin Ales, Chili Pilsner ).

There is a smorgasboard of good and great beers out there now.

You want a taste treat for fall...have a Black and Tan made with Guiness and Post Road (or any other) Pumpkin Ale....
