Believe it .. that's our hometown beer. Started right here in the heart of Pennsylvania!
Didn't know it made it all the way to Ottawa.

Unfortunately it didn't get to Ottawa yet... But we go sailing on Lake Ontario a lot, and spend quite a bit of time on the NY side.

Anyone going for the Ms. No Swimsuit Contest, March 9-16th, 2013 ?

Down to six months until we get back. With the hockey season just about to get started, hopefully the next six months will go by fast.

I think my NYC friends were referring to the higher alcohol content in Canadian beer, and that Red Stripe has the same 5% standard as opposed to the 4 or 4.2 percent in most other countries leading beers. Gotta give a big pat on the back to America though for inventing Yingling. Love that beer!!!

The Myth:
American beer pretty much amounts to what you pee out after you've drunk some actual beer. That's right, the American lagers (Bud, Miller Lite, you know the ones) that Americans tend to prefer are way, way weaker than their foreign counterparts. It's one of those alcohol "myths" that are immediately verifiable with sheer, hard facts: Go on, grab a bottle of American beer and compare its alcohol percentage to, say, a Molson. You'll find that the Canadian brew is far more potent than its Stars 'n' Stripes cousin.

The Reality:
The myth behind American beer being weak as piss stems from the fact that most countries measure beer alcohol percentage by volume. The U.S., continuing our proud tradition of shunning the rest of the world's measuring systems (just like that metric system bullshit), has traditionally measured alcohol exclusively by weight instead.

Sadly, as reputations go, this proved to be American beer's undoing: When measuring alcohol by weight, each and every American beer ended up displaying a smaller alcohol percentage on the label than its foreign counterparts. And despite the fact that U.S. breweries are now shying away from the traditional "alcohol by weight" system and embracing the "Screw this, we'll do what everyone else is doing" system, they're still fighting an uphill battle against the ingrained idea that American beer is weaker than the real beer the rest of the world brews.

Wow FD... That was really good. America (over the last 10 or so years) seems to have an obsession with "Lite" beers... I have no stats to back it up, but holy moly the number of people I see drinking Bud Lite across NY State, and other states I've worked in such as Florida, Alabama, Texas, and the Carolinas astounds me. I'm personally not brand specific... If I picked a favorite flavor, I'd have to say I like the stronger hopps in some of the German or Czech beers, as opposed to the typical North American "Lite" beers... Strictly a matter of preference. But my American friends constantly tell me they get drunk faster consuming Canadian beer... Psychological? Could be. :-)

Darn... If I drink 15 beer, that's my entire daily allotment of calories. :-(

No worries... I only did that back in college. I prefer quality over quantity now. :-)

Damn that was a winner too ..

How about we bet on the date of the first measurable snow in Cleveland or it will rain on Tuesday in Atlanta.

You like any of these baseball teams? I take the O's for no reason just because.

Anyone got any good ideas on what I can Bibabe on since there is no hockey? She a Boston girl and I'm Philadelphia all the way.
