A bit taken aback I asked what they DID have.

"Molsen. And you'll like it!" His tone seemed more of an order than

Would that be "Golden" or another Molsen type?

Prolly Molson Canadian. It would have been Molson Export in Quebec. First
time I saw Molson Golden was in Vermont or upstate NY.

BTW Moosehead is brewed in Saint John, New Brunswick, just downstream of
the Irving paper mill. Pretty vile stuff, IMNSHO.

The darker the color, the better the beer :-).


Funny how beer snobbery is regional. When I was in Northern Territories of
Australia in the 60's "real men" would only drink "Swan Lager"; in London
shortly thereafter it was "Watney's Red Barrel"; and when in Yorkshire this
past summer, apparently the only beer a "real man" would dare drink was
"Ward's" ... all good beers.

My SIL, a 14 stone Yorkshire rugby player, and not overly fond of 'yanks'
despite the fact that he married one, acted surprised that I liked "Wards".
I offered him, only half-jokingly, the opportunity to try and kick my ass if
he thought there was any doubt I was serious (we'd had a more than a few
Ward's by then) ... he declined.

Good to know my daughter picked an intelligent individual to father my
grandkids.
