That's swill....errr....Labatts, right?
Must be something else in the photo they are mourning.....
 
You're right. I wouldn't cry over Labatt.
Just being friendly to the mates downunder.
Still I wonder why they dragged that stuff over from Canada to Oz.
 
I suspect it is actually Canada though I have to indignantly point out (even though I don't actually drink Labatts) that Americans disparaging beer from pretty much any where else in the world is, how shall we say it?.... (slightly coarse language)

My first experience with that s....tuff was in Halifax, the crew all went bar-hoping and promptly got sicker/n a dawg on that stuff.
Next was Victoria, puked my guts out.
Then I saw the Mackenzie Brothers, and knew where the problem was.
They were busy putting rats in the bottles.

I re-interate:

SWILL!

Ok....if you TRULY want to hit the bottom of the proverbial barrel....find some Genesse Cream Ale.

Many years ago, the Canadian breweries all went on strike so distributors started to import the Genesse beers. As the story goes, shortly after the first shipments came in, beer drinkers decided they'd rather go with out ANY beer than drink that stuff and the distributors shipped their orders back!

In the upstate NY area where it is produced, it is "affectionately" referred to as Genny Screamers. :pukeface: Compared to Genny, Labatts is top shelf!!
 
I've actually tasted Genny, was in Syracuse in January, and, well, let's just say it fit. BTW, after all my pious utterances, the two best selling beers in Canada?

Budweiser and Coors Lite.

How the mighty have fallen.
 
Bottom of the barrel, so to speak, Labatts, Molson, Hiene-kin.
Middle Bud, Michelob, Pabst, upper, Miller, 2X, Coors, GUINNESS! and ANYTHING that says "light" or "lite" is a bacteria on the bottom of said barrel.

The stuff my brother makes can be anywhere from top to bottom....depends.....
 
From wilder days up in northern pacific states, I have a fond recollection of "Henry Weinhardt's". But then it may be nostalgia.
 
Rainier fits in just below Bud.
Weinhardt's is more of a specialty, or was when I still bought the stuff.
 
Killed many a brain cell drinkin Genny "White Rats"...

anything cheap was the order of the day...
Piels
Meister Brau
Schaeffer
Carling Black Label
Gibbons
 
Been by the Genny brewery a couple of times. Cream ale is readily available round here.. Probably cause no one buys it..... yeech.
Favorites around here are Saranac, Ithaca, and the local micro, Horseheads Brewing.
 
Brain Cell death rate was allegedly the worst with Castle Brown Ale. That stuff would make you crazy. In fact, the Brit Boat sailors in Faslane we went drinking with in the arly 70's told us the crest on the bottle was the same they used over the doors in the nut case wards in hospital in Ireland.
 
Sure are a lot of good micro brews around the country these days though. My favorite supplier sort of specializes in beers and I can probalby spend the rest of my life just trying them all.
