Fin du Monde came out the same time as Maudite. They were high powered malt liquors that tasted like cough syrup. The big bottles made up for it though.

I've always been a fan of Upper Canada Lager. They're still considered a microbrew, but they've gained a lot of recognition and have remained solid since the late 80's.
