Lionel,
Having lived in Brussels years ago and being raised in Detroit and having
made too many beer runs into Windsor, I would have to agree with your
recommendations. You know you better be careful with these recommendations
as our list mother may start flaming you about your motives in pushing these
brews.
As a teenager, my favorite was Cinci Cream (the Canadian brewed version).

Guy:
If you are a beer connoisseur try Belgium and Canadian beers. The alcohol
content of Belgian beers runs from about 7% to 9% depending on the brew.
Some Canadian beers run as high as 6% alcohol. Both countries' beers are
tasty too.
