Alexander Keith’s Red Amber Ale :cheers:

I tried it twice this summer. I have been drinking Keith's since infancy and I was disappointed with the Red Amber. I wrote them a death threat about it and they sent me a dozen flats of the regular stuff to pay me off. It could work for you too.

There are lots of beers I like, but Molson Canadian is the one I buy most often. I also like Labatts XXX but at 8% it's a little heavy for social drinking.

My favourite run-of-the-mill Canadian beer is ...



... But I agree with beaver, it's not a question as simple as Coke or Pepsi (by the way, Coke wins hands down)... it's an eternal voyage unless there's a nice vintage brut champagne available, which makes it a more interesting eternal voyage.

If I had my choice, it would be Hofbrauhaus in the stein at the Octoberfest.

There are lots of good beers. I generally ask for the coldest.

Kokanee is worth a mention, but only in the west where it is made from real glacier water. It tastes better than the filtered water they use in the east, although you probably couldn't come up with chemical test that could discern why it tastes different.

Ice beer is well mixed, clean, fresh and strong. I can't get Max Ice since i moved out here (7.1% alc. in 500 ml. cans) which i'd developed a taste for. Darker beers are okay, but it seems the Canadian brands haven't developed the brewing skills of the Europeans, as it usually end up tasting a bit metallic and not thoroughly blended.

What the heck is with Irish people who don't drink Guinness telling you how you need to pour and drink Guinness? I drink more in a week than most Irish here do in a lifetime.

Guinness is the Best and if you don't like it then you're an idiot.

Next question.

There's some beer talking for ya, theyget beligerant and you have to subdue them with an empty Corona bottle.

Corona???.......Ice cold Corona is only good in Mexico when it is 105 degrees in the shade in Cancun. In Canada I wouldn't drink the stuff.....Unless I had to.......:smile:

Well when it's very hot in Nova Scotia I can with the help of Purple Cannibis conjure up a decent replication of a Mexican fishing village by the ocean. But I always wake up on the rocks in the Cobequids.:lol:

The next is the best. I win the contest everyone knows that is the correct answer to the riddle. I want my flat of beer now. Hurry up it's almost dark. If I had that flat right now I could relax beside the fire and swill. I'll get the fire going maybe by then you'll have come to your sences and given me the beer. I won it. basturds
