Hi blondy,
I'm also from B.C so I second the shaftebury.. [especially the winter solstice ale, shaftebury.ca seems to be down]
Also I haven't seen it around lately but I used to get the Blackheart oatmeal stout by Nelson Brewing co.
http://www.nelsonbrewing.com/blackheart.html @ 5.7 percent they have an I.P.A. that is 7.3% I never tried it though]
