I volunteer to mediate this war and bring peace and happiness to all concerned.

After I’ve sampled the problem.....over a few years.

Those hosers can't even agree on a language must less a beer.

Miller? Molson? Coors?
I thought this thread was going to be about beer.

Verdu said SABMiller is also trying to appeal to Canadian consumers by promoting the taste and features of its products instead of "gimmick marketing" that focuses on lifestyle advertising.

Miller is setting themselves up for failure.

There’s nothing better on a hot day IMHO than a Coors Light chilled to 28F.

“Global demand for light beers has been growing. It accounts for about half of total beer sales in the U.S., but less than 30% in Canada.”

Wow, who knew? Canadian beers around here are watery swills (LaBatts, Molson) What is the good stuff?

IIRC Molsen makes a few different beers that all taste the same to me.

Years ago there was one called “Molsen Export”, I think. Costco sold it.

La Fin Du Monde is good, as is the one with the flying canoe on the label.

I was going to ask the same question. Does Canadian liquor laws not allow craft breweries like Anchor Brewing and Sierra Nevada Brewing here in California?

Rolling Rock needs to go independent. Return to original formula and not the horse piss they currently sell.

“Lite” beers are only just technically beer. I tasted Coors Lite once. I had to have a Guiness Stout just to clean my mouth out.

None of that is beer.

You can probably get grant money or something.
