Yeah, my heart is bleeding for you having to stay up late  to watch your team in round two.

I'll muddle through somehow, I suppose... 

I think it's a fine midpoint beer.  There are better, more expensive beers.  There are worse, cheaper beers.  But its definitely my favourite mass market beer. 

It's the PBR of Canada...

Lakeport is the PBR of Canada.

Not a perfect analogy.  IIRC PBR is fairly downmarket in the US, although a step above Milwaukee's Best or something similar.

Blue is solidly midmarket, priced the same as Molson Canadian or even Budweiser.  I think you'd find that Pilsner is the PBR of Canada.

I thought Molson and Blue were the drink of the working poor.  It was when I was.

"lowest legal price oneone"

really though, it varies by province, like liquor laws.

Pilsner is horrid. But it has rabbits, so that makes up a bit of lost ground.

[Neil]

Pilsner is horrible.  The only people I've ever seen drink it are people from Saskatchewan or are indians.

[Barrister]

Pilsner is tolerable. 

[Barrister]

But at the risk of ruining my blue-collar beer taste, I just discovered that the local Yukon Brewing Company seels an absolutely marvelous IPA in half gallon "growlers".  It's wonderful stuff.

See, now I'm confused.  I know you're from Winnipeg, and I also know that you're well-groomed, well-dressed and well-spoken.  And yet you can tolerate a draught of horse piss.  Does not compute.

Welcome to the dark side.

Most of my beers consumed are locals with the occasional Guinness and Meantime thrown in.

Yeah, but you have good beer produced locally.    I've tried it, both the Anchorage stuff and the Juneau-based Alaskan Brewing Company.

The stuff Yukon Brewing sells in cans and bottle is pretty poor stuff, but they make some marvelous small batch stuff you can only get on tap (or in a growler).

The Rangers just aren't getting any offence.

Yeah but it was the defense that was so shitty last two games.

Looks like Valmy's curse doesn't translate outside of soccer.
