Raven, There are actually a Lot of good beers on the market. The Micro brew revolution really got brewing good beer into the mainstream.

30 years ago you had pilsners....as far as the eye could see, and that was about it. ocassional Guinness would pop up.

Good beer back then was St. Pauli Girl or Heineken.

Now you can go in a liqour store or "Packy" and get Porters, Stouts, Ales, Lagers, Heffewiezens, IPA's, ESB's, Belgian Abby Ales, Barley Wines. The list goes on and on. Beers with Fruit (Raspberry Wheat, Strawberry Blonde), Beers with Chocolate (Chocolate Stouts) , Beers with Honey (Honey Wheat), Beers with Maple Syrup (Maple Porters), beers with Vegetables (Pumpkin Ales, Chili Pilsner ).

There is a smorgasboard of good and great beers out there now.

You want a taste treat for fall...have a Black and Tan made with Guiness and Post Road (or any other) Pumpkin Ale....

I pass on any beer with a strong cinnamon flavor.

I don't like pumpkin flavored anything, but a friend got me to try a pumpkin ale at a local place with a huge beer selection last year. I really liked it, especially the cinamon flavor. It's perfect for this time of year. In fact, I'm going to meet the same friend tomorrow and I'll probably have a couple.

On a side note, the place where I usually go does a thing called "beer flights". It's a take off on wine flights, which apparently are pretty popular with the wine crowd.

You get four small glasses, each with 4 ounces of a different beer in it. You get to try a total of 36 beers over the course of time. They have everything from seasonals, largers, pilsners, bocks, Japanese beers, etc.. This is something to be done in multiple sittings for obvious reasons, but it's a great way to try different types of beer. The good looking bartenders at this place don't hurt either.
