I should bug my Canadian sales reps and tell them to have a beer and a smoke on me, eh.

Remember the old days when beers and smokes were CHEAPER in Canada? Used to be that was a good reason for visiting up there...

They still are; when you factor in the Exchange rate.
And, if you show up in a kilt and play the bagpipes our polite neighbors will ply you with good Canadian Beer.

I'm not being sarcastic, but what is a good Canadian beer. Don't be telling me it's Molson.

I like Labatt's 50 Ale and Labatt's Blue of the massed produced beers and I also like Moosehead.
Here's a website of some of the lesser known brands and brew pubs
Just click on the map to find beers that "tickle" your palate

I'm a big Ale person both in taste and size. I didn't know they brewed an Ale. That will be rectified this month when I'm up in Montreal. A couple of the micro breweries are nearer where I stay when I'm up there. Unfortunately I think they'd be closed before the end of the work day. But I'll see if I can convince my driver (my local rep) to make a side trip. Yeh, like asking a Canadian if they want to stop and have a free beer or few.

Back in the day (as they say) my favorite Canadian brew was Dow Ale. They were bought by Carling/O'Keefe (bought by Molson) and the brand petered out....

We enjoyed a great Canada Day in 2001 at Dawson City, Yukon Territory.

When I was on the Monroe, we had an A-ganger whose family lived in Upstate New York. He used to bring back a pick-up truck load of Molson's and Moosehead and LaBatt's.

I just participated in a survey that mentioned the Lakehead Brewing Company in the Great Lakes region. Anybody familiar with them?
