I’ve been reading answers to a ‘real ale’ question – is it true they have ‘real ale’ (not lager), in Canada?
In fact where else in the world can you get proper beer, not the fizzy stuff I always seem to finish up with when abroad.
They do indeed have some great ‘real ale beers in Canada – and America too. Check out some of the links and see

Real ale is a type of beer defined by its traditional production.
Also known as "cask conditioned" beer; the fundamental distinction between real and other ales is that the yeast is still present in the container from which the beer is served, although it will have settled to the bottom and is not poured into the glass.
Because the yeast is still alive, the process of fermentation continues in the cask or bottle on the way to the consumer ensuring a fresh and natural taste.
This came from the web site for the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA)
Canada has both ale and lager. The difference between them is the type of yeast used and the fermentation temperature. Lagers are generally lighter in weight than ales.
