I started with the usual prejudices about "mass produced" Canadian beer until my Father -in-law introduced me to the products of the Upper Canada brewing company in Toronto, "Rebellion" with a picture on the label reminiscent of chucking out time at my local pub and their. I was also introduced, this last summer, in Toronto, to single apple cider, No not made from one apple but from one species, The one I liked was mad from Granny Smiths and was served in a pint beer mug half full of ice and two bottles poured in, on a hot night it was divine. The big brews in Canada IMHO taste like swimming in lake Ontario with a Hop in your mouth.
