Ever in the Vancouver area, try out Granville Island http://gib.ca/beer/
My favorites are the Brockton IPA and the English Bay Pale Ale. Lions Winter Ale is a great seasonal too.

I am mightily intrigued by that rogue. I really want one now, don't even care if it sucks...but I must try it.
As of recent. Something worth noting:
Weihenstphan: World's oldest brewery, and picked it up at Nugget Market by my house which conveniently posts BA ratings for anything they have thats 90 pts and up (which is a lot of cot damn beers).
I think in terms of price-point, this beer takes the cake for me. Taste almost identical to La Fin Du Monde....cost 1/2 or 1/3 the price (depends on where you go. Trader Joe's has LFDM the cheapest as far as I've seen: $7.49) It's got that initial bite, and smooths out with some very fruity notes, I smell apricot the most. This is a world class hefe.
Another one that I've trade and that is on BA's top 25 of all time: Trappist Rochefort 10
This I did not like. Not one bit. It had a very dark and sort of bold flavor. Too bold imo. You can taste the alcohol, it is very apparent. I didn't have a snifter, I drank it out of the bottle....maybe that was a mistake but I don't think the difference would've been 180.

don't need a snifter. any cup would do. you definitely need to aerate the beer with a pour and take a big whiff of it before drinking. it's a shame you didn't like it, but you should give it another go. maybe try the 8 since you didn't like the amount of alcohol in it.

Yep beer reviews can be hit or miss. I picked up ommegang abbey ale, which has a 92/100 rating and thought it was just flat out terrible. I've had some sours and cidars (and I dislike those) and ordered those by mistake and was able to properly finish off those. But the abbey ale was absolutely terrible. I had it back before I was really into beers but even so, I don't believe my tastes have changed that much.
With so many choices out there, it is simply too hard to take a review strictly at its word and NOT try it. I would have to say, find a place that lets you build your own six packs.
-----------
Guys, if you drink enough and love variety, you gotta get into home brewing. It is essential. I am down to $0.50 cent/pints, and my bar tabs are non existent now.. It's just mind boggling.
From last year:
Honey Wheat on left, middle is an amber, brown on the right..
This was batch #2 or 3. We didn't add any products or ingredients for clarity. If we did, it may have gotten even clearer.
-------
This year we have a 4.5% honey blonde, a 5.4% amber , and what is still fermenting and doing its thing, a 7.0% brown ale. Almost to an imperial level.
We haven't gotten too technical, and you definitely can feel overwhelmed. So for now, it's strictly for fun as a lower level hobby
