White Water has been the "brewery" name used on the PC beers for years now, possibly to hide the Brick connection.

I didn't remember this when the new Whitewater Brewing opened up in Eastern Ontario, but now that it's brought to mind, I wonder how they were able to register and use the name? Maybe the space - White Water vs Whitewater - was enough to make them different?

a) The internet is serious business.

b) The fact that people are quibbling over PC products is hilarious. If you've ever tried a PC beer (and like it enough to care about the intricacies of its production), a little chiding isn't out of line. For a fairly 'progressive' community, we sure do get caught up on some pretty dumb things.

Right, your "smells like beer" comment was just in reference to some hypothetical beer drinker eh? Carry on.

if we can't laugh at ourselves (i.e. this group of beer geeks), who can we laugh at?

I was headed out London way one day and thought I would throw some empties in the trunk and stop at whatever TBS was convenient.

As luck would have it I hit he store in In*****ll just before opening, between the breakfast club, the sheeny men and the guys with pickup trucks full of PC empties there was me.

They were all elbowing each other and pointing and looking at my empties and it was like "Look at what that city fella has been drinking".

Never again!!
