Cerveza Selection - What kind of beers can I look forward to? by FreeRangeJoel

So, from our limited amount of research so far, we've learned that wine is quite cheap, and that a night out at a pub won't bankrupt you the way it does here in Vancouver. I always love to try different beers whenever I travel... so are there any ...
