What is really great is American alcohol in Canada is sold on a commission-meaning the American distributor didn't get paid until it sold and Canada can return all unsold bottles. Win win.
I feel like the fine folks out there need this refresher course when a MAGA smooth brain cackles about "You dummies already paid for it! So go ahead and take it off the shelves, losers!" and why the US booze companies are filling their gitch.
I’m really a light drinker at best. Maybe a beer or two after golf. But after seeing what chaos and destruction Trump and his MAGAts are inflicting on America, that “presidential pack” won’t get me through this year.
Also, maple syrup can be made into various alcoholic beverages. It can be distilled into hard alcohols like vodka or whiskey. Maple syrup is also used to make maple wine, which can result in dry or sweet wines with alcohol content up to 17%.
I think we drank Moosehead in the 70's when I was under 18.
It must have been cheap. Haven't seen it since.
We also drank Narragansett "Nastygansett" in New England
Molsen & Coors were our "premium" beers. It was almost smuggled in. Odd they merged
leave it to a family owned brewery to handle things correctly. i expect the owners of molson are too busy redirecting profits to the heritage foundation and the federalist society. eff molson-coors-miller!
Can you annex our entire West Coast while you’re at it? We promise you great wine and lovely winters on our southern coasts. Plus, you’ll become neighbors with Mexico!
Getting old sucks. I'm personally fine with your age. It's Canadian Immigration that's not. I taught similar subjects... Accounting, Computer Science and IT and Office. Maybe you can request asylum. That seems to be popular with our current government.
Would be nice to add some Labatt Canadian Ale / Labatt 50. Skiing in Quebec at Mont-Sainte-Anne is TWICE as great when the afternoon is topped off with it.
While no doubt superior to most US beer, Labatt’s 50 and Molson Canadian are not terribly good.
Go for anything from MacAusland, Unibroue or anything on this list:
Fifty years ago when I was in college in upstate NY, Molson and Moosehead were my go to beers. A lot has changed since then. The big U.S. breweries are still crap but there are thousands of microbreweries putting out fantastic beer.
Yes, there are a lot of very good craft breweries in the US.
The Canadian beer market was owned by Labatt and Molson fifty years ago, and I think the US was in the same boat with their own mega-breweries.
Happily, we have more choice now - on either side of the border.
Sadly one beer a day is not nearly enough. I think I would need about 5 or six of these. Thankfully I live in Wisconsin where we make much better beer than Moosehead.
I'm going to have to go out and buy some Crown Royal. It is my fave, but I no longer drink because of medication I take for cancer. It will be an act of protest against the American govt!
Had a very good friend when I worked on the CS department in Copenhagen - his fondness for Canadian Club has given me some pretty bad hangovers however - but hey we can still get it in Europe - who has the better deal now 😂
Hate to break it to you but the Canadian Supreme Court found his government guilty of election tampering for 2 previous elections. This came out days after his third election. He’s a known trump supporter and visits Florida frequently.
As for visits to Florida, I remember his brother saying he had a few condos there. So maybe Doug owns condos there too.I know many people who visit Florida regularly, including family members.
I personally choose not to go there but for those that do, it's nice to get out of the cold weather and go to the beach in the warmth and sunshine. So I don't really fault Ford for going there.
Good thought ! But what are they thinking of thats only 1 beer a day. Man I need at least 6 and that would be at least 8766 beers. or aboot 250 1.5 L bottles of Crown Royal or CC to get the same buzz
I’m in the US and I love bourbon- have plenty of it - but may switch to drinking only Canadian until this nightmare is over in solidarity with my friends up north.
So what would you recommend as a good Canadian version of Basil Hayden? At our house we’re no longer making Manhattan’s (we usually use rye); instead we’re drinking Saskatchewans. (I’ll send you the recipe.)
A world with Trump/Vance/Felon/GOP in full swing and too much alcohol for four years/forever and your liver will do a Statue of Liberty - pack up and leave ... so will partners, jobs, houses and children!
Decades of guerilla warfare is gonna need more beer and whiskey than that. I'm sure our ad hoc MASH units up here in Canada will be running stills 24/7.
Just our mass produced stuff is garbage...there are plenty of wonderful Microbrews in the States worth trying. I haven't had a Budweiser, Miller, Coors, Michelob, or Rolling Rock for a long, long time .
Plenty of “bottled water” on the shelves at my local liquor store. You see most of the big American breweries have deals with Molson’s or Labatts and even the regional breweries like Great Western to brew their “beer” in Canada. So Coors and Budweiser are flagged as Canadian!
In fact the only beer brewed in the USA that they carry is from the revived Drewery’s brewery. The ironic part is that the ORIGINAL Drewery’s was founded in Winnipeg Manitoba.
Never had it. I am pretty sure that most other countries have more potent beers than the United States. However, some of the liquor is quite wicked here.
Excellent! I just bought one of those fancy Art Nouveau absinthe fountains (I've wanted one for years even though I'd never tried absinthe and was sure I'd hate it. Happy surprise - I didn't and it's actually great!)
There was a lot of mythology/misinformation about absinthe, that led it to be banned for almost a century: that it was hallucinogenic (it isn't), that it was poison (not unless you got a bad batch that was cut with something toxic.) Most bad effects stemmed from swilling too much of the stuff!
I suspect that people were more likely to be harmed by methanol poisoning from dodgy suppliers, than by the supposedly-psychoactive ingredients!
Where I am in Canada, there may not have been an actual ban (no federal regs, just by province), but people didn't make https://www.absinthe101.com/laws.html
and sell it until relatively recently. And if most of the continent wasn't able to manufacture it, that would have affected consumer attitudes about trying it.
Here it is. You put ice and water in the glass container, and slowly drip it into the absinthe (with a spoon and sugar cube if you want some sweetness, but I'm not really partial to sweet drinks.)
The height of the decadance, a pipe of opium in a den, a glass of absinthe and some orgie ... new learnings every day. Tried the burning lump of sugar & destroyed a tea spoon!
Enjoy! I ordered an absinthe spoon but the envelope arrived empty -- the spoon managed to wriggle its way out through a slit at the bottom. So I'm hoping to make my own (maybe out of niobium?)
There are actually multiple distilleries in BC making absinthe -- I think I like Taboo the best so far.
It's $2,477.00, and I am just now starting to save $ for retirement in case I can't draw Social Security - like most Americans, I have lived paycheck to paycheck most of my life. I really wish I could afford it. I am not a drinker, but I would do 1 a day! Maybe I will start a go fund me page!

It needs to be 15 a day.

Slide by... we will catch you.
We need to stop using the word Annex in normal language... It's not annexing. It's attacking and taking by force.
Russia didn't annex Crimea, they attacked and killed people for it.
So, no, Canada won't attack the west coast.
Have your people call my people ☎️
It's a good point that "annexing" is a word of war, that minimizes the true nature of the threat.
I don't own or work for them. I just love their products.

Canadian Club was my drink of choice. Smooth whiskey

I think maybe..
Where there is a will,
There is a beer.
Stayed tuned.
If they take my antidepressants, I hope my insurance starts covering alcohol.
Some people hoard toilet paper, others….
Maybe Ketamine is the answer after all.🤷♀️

Before the tariffs, he was happy with Trump but has now changed his mind. ( He's also not too smart)
But really folks channel that energy and money into something more productive like gym or guns.
