Any Canadian beer fans should try to get their paws on something from Paddock Wood. The Black Cat lager is particularly awesome.

 

For American beers, I like Anderson Valley. Their summer and winter ales are fantastic. Hard to find here though.

Wanna hear something sad? There's a brewery within walking distance of where I work (literally - I walked past it on my lunchbreak the other day), and I've never been. I've heard good things about it, though, so I will have to try it someday soon. Their tasting room is only open on Fridays and Saturdays.

Another one I LOVE.

 

I know it isn't beer...but it's amazing.

Mmmmm, mead! 

 

One of the things I loved about the SCA was that there was always someone making mead. :)

I need to learn how to make mead.

 

Side note - I'm currently a visitor to Canada and am staying walking distance from the Hiram Walker distillery, where Canadian Club whiskey and a few other spirits are made.  I can smell the mash in the air every day around 5pm and it lingers for hours.  I need to take one of their tasting tours soon...

Have a POETS Friday and hit the tasting rooms...what could go wrong?

In fairness, who owns a company doesn't inherently make their beers any better or worse, nor does the scale of their production.  When batches/production scale up, you get away a bit from the original idea of a "craft beer", but that doesn't mean it's not a good beer.  Just have to scale it up properly.  Trust me, I'm a chemical engineer. ;)

 

Also, I disagree in part with the premise of that article.  "Owned by AB/Inbev" does not inherently mean that a certain beer is not a craft beer.  From that article, Shock top is about as un-craft-beer-ish as it gets in my opinion, but certain brands on that list still do more smaller-batch, more specialty beers that still fit the "craft" definition.

Solid

 

One of the originals

 

You can ALWAYS find SNPA at a bike race

Love SNPA!  also Torpedo, but it's only a couple of them!

 

I heard Molson/Coors also recently bought out Granvelle Island Brewing Co as well?

 

yeah, Blue Moon was what got me into the craft brewing scene...don;t drink it as often now though, tends to be Sam Adams (cos it's cheap as chips over here), Brooklyn Lager and Brewdog are my Go to ones, Sierra Nevada when I'm feeling a bit more flush, plus there's also now Shipyard and Point Head which has started making an appearance in the supermarkets
