1. Meh. I drink spirits. And wine.

I use beer for BBQ recipes. Apart from that, I keep some around for guests, but I doubt if I drink a six pack in a year.

2. The best selling beer in Canada is Budweiser.

so quit your yappin'. Molsons and Labatts are weak beers to me.

Foreign multi-nationals own most of the Canadian beer industry.

The Belgian firm InBev owns Budweiser in the US, and Labatts in Canada.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beer_in_Canada

Canada's largest brewing companies were traditionally Labatt's and Molson. Labatt's was purchased in 1995 by the Belgian company Interbrew (now part of Brazilian-Belgian Anheuser-Busch InBev, the world's largest brewing company) and Molson merged with US company Coors in 2005 to create Molson Coors, now the world's fifth largest brewing company. With the purchase of Sleeman Breweries, the largest remaining Canadian brewer, in 2006 by the Japanese owned Sapporo Brewery, Canada’s beer production has been mainly under the control of foreign multinationals. By the end of 2006, nearly 90% of beer sales was of product brewed domestically under license from non-domestic corporations.[5] American beers brewed under license dominate much of the market, and as of 2008 Budweiser was the top selling brand with 13% of the market, followed by Coors Light with 12%. Molson Canadian and Labatt Blue, for decades the top-selling brands, now hold third and fourth place.[3] The market in Canada for domestic beer is dominated by Labatt, Molson and Sleeman, all foreign-owned companies. The largest Canadian-owned brewer, Moosehead Brewery, controls about 5.5% of the Canadian market.[6]

3. Dam. We certainly don't own our own beer anymore do we. That is a shame.

4. That's pretty sad.

Actually Moosehead isn't that bad.

5. Not the micro-brews.

Those are all I drink. Mass-market beers are piss-water...

[applegrove]

6. Sleemans is a microbrew that did great. Don't drink anymore so I don't know

if sleeman's cream ale was turned into water after they got taken over.

7. I drink a lot of Irish Death.

If this is watered down, they're using some very hard, very dense water...

[OriginalGeek]

8. Oh man that looks grrrrrrrrrrrrr-eat!

that's going on my list to hunt down.

9. I wish I could partake but I cannot. Enjoy one for me.

[Populist_Prole]

10. Well, the mega mass market stuff is anyway.

Trouble is, millions of mouth breathing philistines like it that way.

11. So send us a case of Moosehead and we'll ship Justin Bieber back in exchange

[HappyMe]

12. This, and make it 2 cases.

We will send a delegation to the border, and make the exchange there.
