Exploring Canada’s insatiable obsession with brew

Post by woodpecker »

from:

I found this snip interesting:

"So in a global comparison, we suck at everything beer related, but when looking at the Americans, we dominate. We’re perpetually making ourselves different from them, and since you can’t be shittier at beer than the US, we chose to be better. And better we are."

Hence, the reason why is beer such an integral part of Canadian culture.

Agree or Disagree?

It's a completely dismissable Frat boy mentality article that gets just about everything wrong. America makes the worst beer? Wrong. Canadians make the best beer? Wrong. Canadians don't have much of a history with making beer? Wrong. Canadians consume more beer than any other country (or, as the writer suggests, "hold" it better)????

It's tripe written by a prairie college boy with little actual information and a lot of youthful presumption.

However I look forward to his next opus on which shape of beer bong provides the greatest BUZZ.
I don't always piss in a bottle but when I do...I prefer to call it Dos Equis.
