Bass is just plain sneaky. You can toss down a half-dozen and pass a
breathalyzer- then it attacks all at once.


Try Canadian Moosehead, that stuff packs a wallop also.
SCTV parody ad:
"And another one's gone,
And another one's gone,
Another one drinks a Moose."
The key with good American beer is to avoid the major manufacturers and
go for the smaller breweries- who actually can make stuff that doesn't
have to be inoffensive to all and sundry; in that group there are some
very good beers, ales, and porters available.

Seriously though, the only main-stream beer down there that seem
potable is Samuel Adams.



SA's pretty good.


Maybe it's gotten more robust, but when they first brought it out I had
some, and I found it weak in character.



The rest seem even worse than our mass-market


Labatt and Molson products (which I didn't think was possible!)



The best thing about Lablatt is the commercials.


.....and the worst is "The Skunk"; an unpleasant smell that most Canadian
beer seems to develop if it's not consumed fairly quickly after it's
bottled.




(which reminds me ... how come they don't put the alcohol content
on US beer bottles



It would hurt sales.


Sometimes they do put it on the bottle or can; try the awful-tasting but
deadly "Camo" beer sometime:

Nowadays though, beer must meet the strict regimen of the Atkin's
diet...(laughing in disgust)




... and just how low does a light beer get there?



Like making love in a canoe.


There are things out there that shouldn't be called beer; they should be
called polluted water.


If I were a trucker, I'd keep a case of Guinness handy as an emergency
source of diesel.


Aye lad, Guinness! Now that's what a man _should_ be drinking... :-)
