It's funny how one country's piss is another country's premium beer.

In Canada, Molson Ice is for 17 year old boys who want to get as drunk as possible, as quickly as possible, for as little money as possible.

Amstel is considered premium in Canada - in Europe, it's for the homeless.

And then there's Corona...

Yeah that sounds about right. I use to enjoy Molson Ice when I was in my 20's, but I have become a very simple man in time. I enjoy my Yuengling, Killians and sometimes Blue Moon, but when the Flyers are losing i use Gentlemen Jack neat and Patron Silver chilled to ease the pain.

As for Corona...never was fond of the taste of Donkey pee.

i heard that about Stella too.

Molson Ice and Labatt Blue for Canadians sucks but it's premium for Americans

When I lived in the US in 2000, the condo we rented had a front desk. One of the staff was the nicest guy, but when he found out I was from Canada, all he ever wanted to talk about was Molson Golden. He thought it was the best beer in the history of the world. I ended up trying to avoid the guy, because he was a sweet old man, and I didn't have the heart to tell him it was a completely forgettable lager that was brewed specifically to have little to no taste.

He also believed that Canadian beer was stronger than American beer - once again, I didn't have the heart to tell him that was untrue.

Yeah I am guilty of that, I think Canada and Molson comes to mind. Don't blame us, blame your marketing department!

Then again if someone brought Budweiser over to my house I would slam the door in their face.

I lived in the states in 93/94, Molson Golden was popular also back then but almost impossible to find in most places in Canada

it's our largest brewery so it's normal, plus they own Canada's hockey team, the Habs.

I wonder if it's got to do with how different flavour profiles work in different societies, like how Coke has different recipes all over the world. Or just great marketing...

geez..I mean..wow...not funny...i swear its not funny

That's possible. I heard McDonalds in Japan actually tastes good because they use real meat and wash their hands. What's McDonald's like in Canada?

So Cherry was done regardless then?

I've just been doing some googling - apparently (I'm kinda piecing this together, so it may be wrong) they came out with a limited time, 625 ml bottle of Molson Golden (according to some reviews, the beer hasn't been available in Ontario for some time).

My LCBO app tells me that there are still 31 available at Front and Spadina.

I just might take the dog for a swim at Cherry Beach early tomorrow morning, then zip over and grab a few - strictly for the shock value.

I find their meat too dry. Wendy's is better but their fries suck.

Back in the day, it was true.

What does making love in a canoe and American beer have in common?

They are both (frank)in close to water.

I agree with you.

No, it never was.

Back in the day, alcohol content was measured differently.

Canadians are seldom accused of having a superiority complex — except when it comes to beer. We take great pride in our suds, and beer lovers like to think of our brews as better than those produced in the U.S.

Stephen Beaumont says we should have another think about that. He has been a beer consultant, judge and writer for more than two decades, and his most recent book is Best Beers: The Indispensable Guide to the World's Best Craft and Traditional Beers.

Appearing on The Sunday Edition as part of our occasional series "Think Again," he tells Michael Enright that Americans have upped their game when it comes to beer. He also says it's a myth that Canadian beer has always been stronger.

"Back when you were drinking legally and I was maybe drinking not-so-legally, the rule was that American beer was measured by alcohol by weight. Canadian beer was alcohol by volume," says Beaumont.

"Five per cent alcohol by volume is equal to four per cent alcohol by weight, so we got it into our minds that we had five-per-cent beer and the Americans had four-per-cent beer, but it was actually even — within tenths of a percentage point of each other for most brands."

Slightly more insane video of Lindsey Graham going through the airport:

Forgive me for sounding like an old man, but in my day, criminally insane, low-IQ cult followers couldn't afford to be in airports.
