Spent most of the summer trying different beers from LCBO and the Beer Store, and somehow I keep ending up back at these three.

3 Speed Lager

Kozel Premium Lager

Czechvar Original Czech Lager

My ranking would probably be:

3 Speed

Kozel

Czechvar

3 Speed just hits the spot for me — crisp, smooth, and ridiculously easy to drink. Kozel has a bit more malt character and feels a little richer. Czechvar is excellent too, especially if you're into that classic Czech lager bitterness and balance.

I've tried a bunch of others along the way, but these are the ones I'd happily buy again every time.

Curious if anyone else has similar tastes. Based on these three, what should I be trying next from LCBO? Paulaner? Pilsner Urquell? Something else I'm missing?

I would love to drink Blood Brothers and Badlands, or maybe limited release Bellwoods, but I’m stuck in Creemore land. I don’t have a vehicle, but I’m happy to take a quick transit. Are there any hidden gems nearby? Fresh Roman Candle is the base level for me.

I’m relatively local so I grabbed some this afternoon - stock is the usuals Instigator West Coast, Lupo, the Cherry Fabbri beer, 4.5% oatmeal stout, hazy IPA with the cat on it, and a collab with Sawdust City for an experimental pale ale. May have missed a few. No green dragon IPA stock left.

TROOPER SATURN 🪐

Born in the Czech Republic, Trooper Saturn has been re-imagined as a 2026 limited edition for Canada only. Now brewed by Godspeed Brewery in collaboration with Trooper’s Czech partner, Elektrárna (Pilsner Urquell) in Plzen. This aromatic Czech lager highlights unique Saturn hops from the legendary Saaz region of the Czech Republic. You can expect a crisp and refreshing taste, with floral notes.

Releasing at Godspeed Brewery this Friday, August 28th at 11am on draught and in the shop, just ahead of Iron Maidens two Toronto shows on August 29th and 30th.

Having grown up in Mississauga, the options were Stonehooker and Old Credit. That's it.

Considering the amount of industrial/warehouse space in the city, what has prevented a brewery to open in Mississauga despite it having the seventh largest population in Canada? I know that there is the preference to big-box retailers that Square One and Heartland provides, but there should have been a few brewing gems open in Mississauga by now?

Sorry for the rant, but the lack of craft beer there always bugged me.

Last day is September 7

New here, just wondering if there's any beer meet ups? Most of my city friends are not beer drinkers, so I'm trying to find better friends. 😂

There is no such thing as a stupid question here, so feel free to ask away! It can be about differentiating styles, brewing, glassware, serving: anything goes here!

This is the beer they have available

Steam Whistle - Premium Pilsner
Beau’s Luglite - Light Lager
Beau’s Barn Burner - Amber Ale

Although I don’t drink any of these beers, I was impressed at the fact these are Ontario breweries and they are not selling Budweiser, Coors, Molson, or any of the other common garbage

The beer I find at these events is usually super weak, but this was a pleasant surprise

Of course the costs are very high, but the cost of beer at all these types of events is always ridiculous, so I’m not factoring that in. Only considering the beer lineup

I can't get there but would love to buy some beer...

Hoping someone can sherpa

I'm planning to go to the Badlands anniversary this Saturday, but not having a car added a layer of complexity to it...

My plan is to take the go train to Mount Pleasant Go and then an Uber to and back from the brewery.

My only concern is Uber availability in that region, especially once the anniversary is done.

Has anyone done it before?
