Erdinger Dunkel Weissbier
Rating: NNNN
Why Chocolate and coffee flavours from heavily roasted malt meld with the light, velvety body of a weissbier. Dunkel’s greatest gift to your mouth is its ability to be rich and refreshing all at once.
Price 500 ml/$3.25

Aecht Schlenkerla Rauchbier
Rating: NNNN
Why Bacon fiends and fans of peated Scotch will appreciate this rauchbier, or smoked beer. There’s lots going on here, from gamey leather to bonfire, honey-roasted nuts, dried fruits and caramel. One bottle is probably enough unless you’re trying to taste like charred meat for the next 24 hours.
Price 500 ml/$3.50
Availability LCBO 409110
Hacker-Pschorr Munich Gold Lager
Rating: NNNN
Why Crisp and biscuity, finishing with citrus and hops, this is a classic Helles lager from the birthplace of Oktoberfest. There’s really no wrong time to pour one out.
Price 500 ml/$2.35
Availability LCBO 308403
