Toddcan Posted August 31, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 31, 2013 We're pretty much the same as you folks down in the good 'ol USA. There are some exceptions... Enjoy! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare martincath Posted August 31, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 31, 2013 We're pretty much the same as you folks down in the good 'ol USA. There are some exceptions... Enjoy! :) Although we're obviously superior to our southern neighbours in every way;) - the weak beer argument is a fallacy. Traditionally in the US alcohol was measured by weight not volume (ABW vs ABV on labels) and there's a just under 25% differential between the two. At the alcohol content levels of most mainstream US & Canadian beers (4-5% ABV Canadian, 3-4% ABW US) they look significantly weaker, but are actually the same strength - and frankly the mass-produced macro-brews are all equally lacking in flavour IMO. Craft beers tend to use ABV in both countries - and average well into the 5-6% ABV bracket, 6%+ for IPAs. So relatively speaking if you like any of the mainstream brews in *either* country you're drinking weak, 'girly' beer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to sale it to ya cheap.;) I do love me some Disney. We average a trip every couple of years since we moved to Canada - despite no kids! Some excellent restos too - and the beer selection is improving, though still far short of the quality of their wine list. They're actually filming the latest Disney movie up here right now - some scenes at the space centre just this week masquerading as Tomorrowland.

Going to have to sell more furs during the trapping season to be able to afford one though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
