Notice that my questions regarding the composition of CEO, MP, newspaper editor, and large institutional leadership positions (unions, universities, etc.) went unanswered. Well, since you're asking, the last two Governors General and Ontario Lieutenant Governors Lincoln Alexander and James Bartlema...

Sad to say the Blue Light Lime has been out in NYS since last summer. If you look at Consumers Beverages online sale flyer for Buffalo you could cry at the price of beer, especially since it is all brewed in Toronto, and because yet again beer prices went up at the beer store. Havent had bud light ...

The Molson Amber Ale at the ACC wasn't all that bad. The Rickard's Gold they brewed there gave me one pounding headache and hangover...and no, it wasn't due to quantity.

First - Black Oak. Ask me this question a few years ago, and it would have been Brick because as the first real micro, they were the standard setter for a number of years (Brick Bock - yum)

Dead Elephant Ale - nice, none of the issues that have been raised in this forum
McAuslan Russian Imperial Stout - no complaints, but I think it could benefit from some aging

Some good publicity for the Minhas siblings, but it's never going to happen. Firstly, there's no way Labatt's will leave any of the physical plant standing for a competitor; they pounded the Etobicoke site flat when they closed it. Secondly, would it make sense financially for the Minhas' to open a ...

Molson Golden Ale. Dad was an Ex drinker, but it didn't do anything for me, and at that time (early 70's) Golden was the Good Smooth Ale and had those kick ass commercials, so that was good enough for me. Several years later, I switched over to the Carling O'Keefe version of Carlsberg Light and stay...
