A lot of our Ontario Micro-breweries are experimenting with Belgian style flavoured beer: Nickleback has apple lager, Mill St. has lemon, Great Lakes has orange peel and green tea ales, Kawartha has raspberry, to name a few.I think to maintain your standing on this site, you should send each willing member a sample or two of Belgian brew regularly. You have enough breweries; about 600 I read somewhere, so there is no excuse.
