I'm a fan of the Golden, not so much the Canadian.  Labatt 50 is my favorite reasonably cheap Canadian beer available in the States.  :Canuck:

Nobody outside of PQ in Canada drinks 50. :blech:

50 is an old man's beer in rural Ontario. What "Black Label" used to be.

in UNI, we used to drink 50 for ironical purposes.

I like it, though it is a little "rough"; like a Canadian version of Ballantine Ale.

Is this about that Swedish guy in Indonesia?
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You're about my age. Remember when Black Label made a huge comeback, probably in 1987 or so, and was a hit on campuses everywhere?

Fine beers both.

For my part, if I'm to drink generic lager I'm fine with either a local and cheap Kokanee.  If it has to be "imported" I'll grab a Carlsberg or Tuborg for silly nationalist reasons (thought they started doing Carlsberg in those shitty light green bottles) or Asahi at the sushi restaurant if they don't have Kokanee.

Some buddies of mine drank it for the same reason.  That, and Pilsner (count the bunnies!).

For me I've stuck with Blue for at least a dozen years.

Labatt Blue.  Do they have that where you are Jaron?  I know it was almost unheard of in Atlanta.

QuoteIn 1951, Labatt launched its Pilsener Lager; when it was introduced in Manitoba, the beer was nicknamed "Blue" for the colour of its label and the company's support of Winnipeg's Canadian Football League (CFL) franchise, the Blue Bombers. The nickname stuck and in 1979 Labatt Blue claimed top spot in the Canadian beer market. It lost this status in the late eighties to Molson Canadian, but over the next decade, periodically regained top spot as consumer preferences fluctuated. In 2004, Budweiser took the top spot, pushing Blue to third for the first time in twenty-five years.[1][2] However, Labatt Blue remains the best selling Canadian beer in the world based upon worldwide sales.

I think I haven't seen that in stores. I don't pay close attention to the beer section, I could be wrong.

I much prefer mixed drinks. My favorite is called a Lemon drop.
