What stellar recomendations does it hold for you?

It shamed me with Kozel, Tiger and Victoria Bitter

Same 3 too; I wonder if these need a boost in sales?

I tried two totally opposite personalities and it spat out for both Kozel, Vic Bitter and Tiger just like the others above.

I don't mind doing something fun like this but at least put some effort into it LCBO. Fail!

Same, and the only one I drink out of the three is Steam Whistle in very desperate situations.

I got the same three.

I'll drink the Kozel, but the other stuff is pure shit.

I would have been ok with these.

I guess at least I can take solace that I didn't get three different lime beers.

They should do one of these quizzes based on things like, I don't know, preferred flavours.

I got the same, I'm happy with that. I'm sure its just a random number generator that picks one out of 3 options.
