Never liked Corona, or its nefarious cousin that's owned by Jimmy Buffet.

Can't think of the name of the crap right now, but there's a palm tree on the botttle.

Yep... I agree. Might as well be drinking Zima? ...And that ain't beer.
How can it be beer with no hops in it??? :( :o

Nope - That would be George W Bush, just another peg in his 'grand plan' . . . . and he says "You're Welcome"

rockefeller and the boys have been busy for a long time, us in canada, we wont mind much to kiss the queen goodbye on our currency, at least she will have ended it on a strong note... what a lovely lady, nice person, but we disdain what she represent.

for you guys it will be tough to accept, but this is life..

back to beer talk, much more interesting, ira, do you mean dos xquis, or pacifica clara, makes me wonder too, specially the source of the water, wich supply the factory.....heard talk that the workers hate us some much that they pee, spit all over..... would make a bit of sense, but remember that a good publicity will sell anything, corona are master at this.

make me think about the origins of the beverage, that literally saved millions of people during the middle age, yeap, at one point the thames, rhin... every river located close to major cities, were brown yellow, people dying like leaf in the fall, well this was their only source of water. but than some genius, fermented the water to create beer. wich gives an even greater meaning to Oktoberfest.. :beer:

out here the beer is Kokanee, made in cranbrook from pure glacier water. long live to the saquatch, the ranger being chase and the kokanee girls :R its so popular that many people make a good living from collecting cans on the side of every highways... :thinking:
there will be an organized tour of the factory during the 2008 1st internationnal ttt caravan. sssssshhhhhtttt, it's still a secret.

my dream belongs to you and them.

Heineken isn't even the best selling beer in the Netherlands - That honor goes to Amstel . . . . and I found I liked it better as well

After 35 years of the military sending me 'round and 'round the globe, I'll put my vote in for San Miguel beer from the Philippines as the best - If you've only tasted their crappy export variety, I could understand why you might disagree . . . . I'll never know why they even put their name on that crap, but the in-country version is very good - Much better than any of about 150 varieties of German beer that I've tried

Without any doubt, the hands down winner of the country with the worst beer has to be South Korea

Somewhere in this thread I saw something about Viagagara... thankful we in Canada don't need Viagaragara cuz of the better exchange we now enjoy. Exchange is good.

We are good to go!

PS. Was that Gage talking about Viagaragarama?

Peace!

PS. We get paying mainly in US dollars so our 'improvements' in the Canuck dollar is the pits!

With the Canadian dollar being so high, Many consumers are up in arms with the prices up here. They are wondering why the hell we are still paying 30 or 40 % more than the 'Mericans. Some stores hasve started to lower their prices... but it isn't enough..... I think we're gonna have a revolution......Stay tuned... :lol:
