Marc Bergevin: We want to compete Edition

[jaffy27]

Coors light is part of that same umbrella of terrible items.

Labatt 50 is OK though, for a macro beer.

We have so many great micro brews here in Quebec and even more incredible ones just a few hours south in Vermont. There's no reason to be drinking Molson piss water. Canadian to me tastes like burnt bread that's been liquefied.

But I love burnt toast...

The most toxic **** garbage beer I've ever had is Wildcat 10%. What the **** is that ****. What the ****.

It almost doesn't qualify as beer at that point. 5 bucks for a 1.8 l bottle of something you drink to get a quick cheap buzz while trying not to gag.

Beer snobs are some of the worst people on earth.

I am a wine drinker. Beer snobs are naive babies comparing to us.

 

[roy munson]

That stuff is all in the past. Now, it's all about ...

Please tell me this isn't photoshopped.

Beer snobs are some of the worst people on earth.

And people who drink awful beer just because it's cheap are alcoholics.

Yeah whatever it takes to get you f***ed up but lord knows I'll never judge another man woman or child trying to catch a buzz. We've all been there. Some of the best wine I've ever drank was dirt cheap because it got me to where I wanted to be.

It sincerely tastes like chemical waste. They add in so much artificial crap to get the % up there too.

Those who drink vile beer by choice are not even people at all.

You don't need to be a beer snob to think that Canadian, Coors Light, Lucky Lager, or Molson Pilsner (the preferred brew of Saskatchewan Roughrider fans who wear the 12-pack cases as hats) is swill. All you have to do is try drinking any of them.

I've lived in Quebec, Ontario and BC during the time I've been a drinker and I've traveled in the US extensively too. So I've had occasion to drink all sorts of crappy macro brews through the years. When you're young, you're more focused on bang for your buck. You want to buy the cheapest beer so that you can buy the most of it for volume drinking. Once you get older you realize that it's better to pay a little more for a beer that actually tastes good rather than the cheap stuff because once you're older you are (hopefully) not drinking to get wasted and are looking for something that is pleasing to the pallet and pairs nicely with your food.

Crappy Beers I've Tasted Throughout the Years (partial list)

Molson Export
Molson Canadian
Molson Brador
Molson Pilsner
Labatt 50 (only still popular in Quebec, where ale outsells lagers and among Italian immigrants in Ontario)
Kokanee
Lucky Lager
Pacific Pilsner
Laker
Miller Genuine Draft
Miller Lite (or any light beer, for that matter)
Wildcat
O'Keefe Ale
O'Keefe Extra Old Stock (malt liquor)
Champlain Porter
Dow (OMG it's soooo awful)

And then if I think about the USA...

Matts
Utica Club
Old Milwaukee
Pabst Blue Ribbon
Red White & Blue
Keystone
Schmidt's
Blatz
Schlitz
Hamm's
Olympia
Rainier (originally brewed by Sicks Brewing, which should tell you all you need to know)

Found it with no watermark, I'm assuming it's a real pic.

It's been a hell of a long time since I drank piss beer. I remember the taste though.

Call me a beer snob if you wish, but I drink mostly Hoegaarden or if there isn't any, I go for the next white ale. If there's no white, I go for heineiken.

US MGD tastes a lot better than Canadian MGD. Things might have changed since the last time I drank US MGD, which was like... around the turn of the millenium..

Wine is fine but Whiskey's quicker.

There's a good chance your tastes have changed. US beer is almost always weaker in alcohol % too. It does work very well to clean your tires.

I like Guinness.

For those who don't read French, this article is critical of MB and mostly recycles known content. However, there is one piece of information that I had not heard about before:

Paul Statsny was considering the Habs. He contacted his friend Max Pacioretty one he found out that he would not be staying with the Winnipeg Jets, and then decided not to negotiate with the Habs. The unclear sentence is as follows:
Il a décidé de regarder ailleurs quand Pacioretty l’a informé qu’il ignorait son propre statut avec l’équipe en marge de la prochaine saison.

Any volunteers to elaborate on what that means?

When Pacioretty told to Paul that even him is not sure to stay with the Habs, Statsny decided to talk to another team.

 

[MaxDummy]

I like Guinness.

Stouts <3

Oatmeal stouts > life

Three Floyds Dark Lord Bourbon barrel aged stout > every damn thing

I like Guinness.

I prefer Ewan McGregor

Stouts <3

Oatmeal stouts > life

Three Floyds Dark Lord Bourbon barrel aged stout > every damn thing

Stouts are too bitter for my taste.

It hurts my tonsils, same as some red wines.
