Winter is coming, and strong sorts of beer are what everybody needs now 🙂 To decide what to drink is easy, the tricky part, as I told mentioned yesterday, is where to buy it.
If you take a closer look at TOP beer lists on BeerAdvocate, RateBeer or Untappd, you will see that most of the rated beers are Imperial kinds such as Imperial Stouts, Imperial IPAs, Tripels, Quadrupels, etc. And it is obvious why – they have rich aroma and taste 🙂

Let’s look what we have on RateBeer for Canada.
Imperial stouts:
Belgian Strong Ales:
Imperial IPAs:
Abt/Quadrupels:
American Strong Ales:
Seventeen from fifty (i.e. 30%) top-rated beers are strong ales. But if we look more carefully, then we can see that they take up 50% of the top rated beers, because we have to exclude 14 ciders 🙂
So if you can find something from the list above – you are lucky. If not, then just try to get good strong beer (considering the ratings) and enjoy 🙂

I have traveled a lot and visited already all beer countries – Belgium, Czech Republic, England, Germany and, of course, USA. These countries are the home of almost all main styles of beer. Before visiting any city in the world, I like to read RateBeer.com first to find the best beer and brewpubs in a city.
After moving to Vancouver, I found it quite complicated to buy the best Canadian beer in the city. The country is huge that even if you know the beer you would like to buy it doesn’t mean that it’s available in your city.
For example, according to the RateBeer the best dozen beers are the following:

I have not been writing for a long time, but I have some ideas to share with other people who like beer as me.
Among the beer available in Canada, sometimes it’s too difficult to pick one that is really delicious and is worthy of your attention. Even harder to find something that has a good mark on RateBeer or BeerAdvocate in a store closed (at least relatively) to you.
That’s why I decided to start collecting such information on BeerPlace.ca to help you, guys, to find interesting beer in your neighbourhood 🙂
I would like to start with a small list of Signature BC Liquor Stores where you can find expanded selection of beers (and other spirits too).
