America is eating Canada's lunch..... Literally.

"American beers brewed under license dominate much of the market, and as of 2008 Budweiser was the top selling brand with 13% of the market, followed by Coors Light with 12%. Molson Canadian and Labatt Blue, for decades the top-selling brands, now hold third and fourth place."

What they are getting at here is that Canadian beer is 5-6%..... U.S. beer tastes like water in comparison, all of us hosers know it eh? :D

Reminds me of a story...

A Canadian beer executive comes down to the states for a brewing conference.

In the evening he meets some American beer executives at the bar.

The first U.S. executive tells the bartender, "I'll have the king of beers, a Budweiser."

The second U.S. executive says, "I'll have a Coors, fresh from the Rocky Mountains."

The Canadian executive crisply says, "I'll have a water."

"Aren't you gonna drink?", complain the others.

"Well if none of you are going to drink. I won't either."

Time to get out of the house and go for a beer..Most bars don’t even carry Bud or Coors anymore.

The Canadian vs. U.S argument is not as easy as it used to be. Molson- the big Canadian brewer and Coors merged about ten years ago, I believe.

Also, the upside of the weak beers in the U.S resulted in many of us learning to brew our own at a very early age, and from there more and more did it, even though it was not legal and eventually it gave rise to a rather substantial craft brewing industry in the U.S. You would not live long enough to try or compare all the craft brews now- although it might be a lofty goal.
