i saw the subject and couldn't believe there would actually be a post on BT about molson stock ale, so i figured it had to be something else...
i still love the ol' stock ale. half the fun is seeing the puzzled looks on the faces of the beerstore staff when you ask for it. usually the person in the back comes out for confirmation and has to be told what dark corner they have it hiding in. the case always seems to come out with an inch of dust on top too...

The beauty of Molson stock is that when you go to boring bars that only have Guiness, Kieths and Stella on tap, you can still get a bottle of stock ale to make the night almost salvagable (at least in the Hammer). Of course, your friends who think they know a lot about good beer raz you for dinking "crap beer" while they blissfully chug a "premium" beer.
I too loved the mention of old defunct brands. After I had my father-in-law try a Special Double Cream Stout from Bell's he said to me "it's good, but it's no Labatt Velvet Cream Stout". Haha.

It's not too shabby, actually. Mr. Clow turned me on to it when he described it as "the only [MolBatt product] I would personally recommend as being half-decent is Molson Stock Ale. It has an interesting spicey/malt flavour and more body than most Molson & Labatt products. Still not as good as most of our local mciros, but it's palatable at least."jaymack wrote:Good article... is the beer?

That's exactly what I thought when I tried it a couple of years ago!GregClow wrote:If anyone is seriously interested in trying Labatt Porter, it's still available in Quebec.
Or, you could just drink some Pepsi, since it looks and tastes about the same...
I still have a soft spot for Molson Stock Ale. I find that it's tastier than many of the "premium" brands and has the advantage of nostalgia - it was our staple beer during band practices for a while back in the day. And grub's right on the money about dusty cases, especially in Windsor.
