It's horrible. Totally up itself and full of Hooray Henrys. Also staggeringly expensive. Only the Beer Bistro is worse.

Re: Favourite Budget beers
The pictures do give off that impression.
I was joking about 'adapting', I refuse to be dragged up-market. I want an ice cold cider, in a gloomy hovel, with dubious strangers to chat with. Damnit.

Yard. Two doors down from the UpItself. A proper pub, the same people are sitting and/or playing darts there as when I first went in (not sure when that was but I was first banned in 1982).
Another cider available in BC is Okanagan Extra Cider

Re: Favourite Budget beers
Along with Strongbow and Growers there is also Okanagan cider in B.C. and Big Rock Brewery in Calgary does a reasonably good cider called Rock Creek available in cans and draft in some pubs.
Just recently I found a product from Vancouver called Green Apple cider very much a green apple flavour it was quite interesting.
On Vancouver Island there is Merridale Estate Cidery but their products are available only on Vancouver Island and in the Vancouver area.
If you want a choice in ciders it would appear B.C. is the place to go to.

Re: Favourite Budget beers
Can't believe I'm the only one who's voted for Muskoka (even though it's cunningly been placed twice in the poll)!
A buck a bottle plus deposit AND it's "craft brewed" unlike all the others in the list. ("Real" additive free beer for those outside Canada).
Plus it tastes pretty darned good.

Re: Favourite Budget beers
I have had Strongbow on tap in Calgary and just recently had the Big Rock, Rock Creek cider on tap also.
Although most places seem to have Strongbow in bottles for some ridiculous price.
