Blam Canada!

Offers of immediate surrender from Quebec

We must blame them and cause a fuss,
Before somebody thinks of blaming us!

Dear Moderator, PLEASE do NOT fix the thread typo! LOL

Hey, wait … was it really a Freudian Slip? :smiling_imp:

Pow Peru!

Surrender? Watch yourself Yank. The Québecois were fighting in WW2 a full 2 years before the US even decided to enter the conflict.

Well, sorry to say, as a beer snob: Canadian beer does suck. Molson etc. are just frozen Budweiser, and in the past year I’ve been in both Vancouver and Toronto and if there’s a decent craft beer scene, none of the hotels or restaurants I went to knew about it.

The two biggest breweries in Canada, and the stuff likely served at hotels, are Molson nd Labatt, and both are American-owned, Molson-Coors and Anheuser-Busch, respectively. So don’t blame Canada for those beers. Having said that, the industrial swills they produce in Canada stack up well enough to the comparable product in the US: Coors, Bud, Miller, etc.

Can’t speak to Toronto, but Vancouver has a pretty vibrant craft beer scene. Take the SeaBus to North Vancouver, walk 10 minutes, and you can stagger into 7 craft breweries, not counting the braggot brewery, for example. Next time you’re in town, PM me!

BC has some fantastic Craft Breweries, Vancouver Island especially. I find it strange that the restaurants you went to had no craft options. Not my experience in BC or Certainly Alberta. Even in Alberta there are small towns where the only pub is a craft brewery.

But yes, mainstream Canadian Beer is shit, but that goes for mass market adjunct lagers everywhere.

Yep, and in WWI, Canadian soldiers used to throw cans of corned beef over the trenches to the German soldiers, and when the Germans asked for more, the Canadians threw over grenades instead.

Nicest people in the world, unless you make an enemy of them-- then watch out :scream:

Most had one or two local beers, but they were always mega-citrus IPAs. I love a good IPA, but in the vein of Harpoon or Sierra Nevada. I really don’t like these hazy ones that taste like orange juice, and that was literally the only craft offering anywhere I went. They did, of course, have the usual imports like Guinness, Urquell, Stella, etc. but we’re talking about Canadian beer.

And I’ve often said that every country has its Budweiser. Bud, Stella, Carlsberg, Sapporo, Corona, they’re all the same and they’re all crap.

They say American beer is like making love in a canoe.

Sure, four decades ago it was fucking close to water, but now I’d put the US beer scene against any in the world. And I have visited a lot of the world.

Anheuser-Busch is part of AB InBev, headquartered in Belgium.

Bloody Sprouts!

I have not had any American craft beers as good as abbey ales. But Canada has some good craft breweries, at long last, only over the last fifteen years. A couple in my middle sized city have won global awards.

That is too bad.

Yeah, the Hazy IPAs seem to be a big thing now. I quite like then personally, but craft beer is about variety. I find there tends to be much more variety now than a few years ago when the craft beer scene seemed to be mostly daunting west coast IPAs, sours and themed stouts. I see a lot very good, proper, craft pilsners locally now for example.

Fat Tug is one of my favorite west coast IPAs, im surprised it wasn’t on the menu.

Trump is going to blam Canada, dunk Denmark, grab Greenland, and pluck Panama Canal.

Never mind. I tried to link the video of the Blame Canada song from South Park and I couldn’t get it to work.
