I'm a huge beer guy/snob/fan.
Of those beers I've had the Achel, Both Chimays, Orval, All 3 Rocheforts and the Westmalle Triple.

Opinions/Thoughts for people:
<3 The Orval is a really complex beer, but it's subtle. For a Belgian Ale it's fairly mild though. I have to have this early in my drinking to appreciate it.Some LCBOs have it as well as the Chimays.

(not a huge fan, but they're passable. For whatever reason they don't mass produce the Chimay Blue anymore which is what most people viewed as their best beer and was readily available at LCBOs. Now you can only get the Blue as part of a gift pack :()

The Rocheforts are beasts, especially the 10 because I love Belgian quads. Sadly though I can't ever find them at LCBOs.

Westmalle is good, only had it once. Had a nice bit of bitterness and it was creamy, but this was a while ago.

Looking at list... I've had alot of these beers, **** I'm an alcoholic. Without giving thoughts on them all (some are pretty bad... I'm sure you can figure out which):
Creemore Springs
Keith's
St. Ambrose Oatmeal (thumbs way up for getting this locally)
Guinness
Affligem
Hoegaarden
Stella
Both St. Bernardus (the abt 12 was LCBOs during the fall!)
Duvel (always at the LCBO by me in Kingston <3)
Gulden Draak (<3 first good beer I ever had)
Smoked Schlenkerla
Warsteiner
Moretti
Blanche de Chambly
Budweiser
Canadian
Corona
Czechvar (at the brewery)
Dos Equis
Grolsch
Heineken
Kozel
Molson
Innis and Gunn
La Fin Du Monde
Maudite
McEwan's Scoth Ale
Trois Pistoles (<3 for being able to get this locally)
Wellington Country Ale
Wellington Iron Duke
Dragon Stout

... I'm sure I'm forgetting some on that list but I am pretty tired writing this. I have an actual beer list I'd need to dig up
http://barvolo.com/ - Best variety in Toronto, BeerBistro also has a decent variety but is hella expensive even for like a beer-pub, sometimes The Only Cafe has good or hard to find **** for cheap (Gulden Draak at $5 a bottle).

Yeah, it's not just about being rated 100. Some beers get that with like 2 overall reviews. It's about having 1956 reviews and still holding that while being the top rated beer on ratebeer for years at like a 4.6ish. I also search by "top reviewers" and they all give it the highest, because alot of times you get people who don't know anything and rate Corona like a 5/5, but that doesn't compare to the other like 5000 who rate it a 2/5.

So who is going to the montreal tournament? There's a draft pool before the actual tournament so we need to register before that :S

It seems like it's going to be a pretty big tournament and there's some sort of prize for apex qualifier/seeding (according to alex strife posting in the thread)

We have so many people that want to go but we don't have enough cars. Maybe people should rent a 7 seater van to go as a third car?? I was considering doing that due to high demand of seats :S. But i'm not sure how much it costs :S people say it's cheap

We looked into mega bus but the tickets were too expensive. It'd be great if we can find a third person to volunteer their car to drive or something.
