Strange Brew
Canadians have a reputation for being serious about their beer. Case in point: Budweiser has the biggest share in almost every country where beer is allowed to be sold. But this is not so for 2 big beer markets: Canada and Germany. Germans have a “purity” law that makes it difficult to import foreign beer labels. To their great credit, Canadians just don’t buy into the hype. (Of course, the fact that Molson and Labatt breweries own a stake in most of the stores where beer is sold in Ontario.)
No Cans? Beauty, Eh?
Police in the city of Mississauga, ON made a discovery that illustrates just how seriously Canucks take their beer. On Wednesday, Sep. 19, two tractor-trailers loaded with over 100,000 cans and bottles of Mooosehead Lager beer were stolen from a transport company’s warehouse in the bustling Toronto suburb. Moosehead Brewing company spokesman Joel Levesque advised loyal Moosehead drinkers in the province to “stock up”, given that it may take a week or more for the company to replenish supplies. It was the second time in only 3 years that Moosehead beer was hijacked in transit.
On Friday, Sep. 21, the two trailers were recovered. The 70,000 cans were virtually untouched, while the 44,000 bottles were gone. This comes as little surprise, though. Everyone knows cans are for sucks, you knob!
The brewer estimated the value of the shipment at more than $200,000 (CDN).

Yep, I used to date a Canadian (I know that’s a “surprise” to Bagel and Key. They’re a weird bunch. He loved his beer and could drink the shit out of it. I accused him of having a third leg.
Then we slept together, that’s when I realized no…no third leg. Just a big bladder.
We broke up two days later.

FFE: Yes, if you can squeeze it out of the mouse
LK: Big bladder means fewer midnight trips to the bathroom, more sound sleepin for you!
Stil: Back from vacation already?
Jim: That’s only the foreplay. When she was givin birth to me, she kept askin me to wiggle just a little harder.
Metro: That kinda thing is why Canadian Tequila will never catch on
KW: Did she say she hadn’t? I didn’t hear her say that.
Everyone: My big pretty orange kitty cat is lost. I’ve been up all night tryin to find her. I am not a happy girl.

Sorry, it took me so long to respond. I’ve been dating a new guy in the City’s Animal Control Bureau. And no, I haven’t fucked him.
Yet.
We talked about you a lot, Key and OH yes…by the way..

Thanks for the shout out Bagel…i’m waiting for the “Oh no, Mr. Bill” type skit from Mad Tv or SNL…
If I had the time and resources I’d shoot such skit myself. Or maybe I’ll just go into Sylvia’s in Harlem one night with Ted Danson style “black face” and start spewing some O’Reilly Rhetoric:
“Golly Gee…I can’t believe none of you niggaz ain’t askin for no more motha fuckin Ice Tea. Sylvia, get your bitch ass out here and hook a brotha up wit some tea.”

@ FFE: Was (Not Was)? Strange Brew? Are we related somehow?
@ Bagel. I love that cat. I hope she comes back.
@ Bill O’Reilly: You mean they were wearing clothes and everything. No spears or shrunken heads adorning the walls. Thank you, Bill, for showing me that black people are just like us.

I’m too drunk on Alexander Keith’s Red Amber Ale (which is, in itself, a total misnomer) to get outraged, but still, the theft of Moosehead should be paid for with beheading at the least!

Alexander Keith’s Red Amber Ale? You and I are of a kind, Raincoaster! Here in my part of the world, we have an awesome red lager called Red Oak. What’s your opinion of India Pales?

I heard about this. But I bet the coppers who found the missing beer mighta thrown a few cases in the trunk before they did their report.
And let it be Lowenbrau for me.

@ Heir of the Gods: Thanx for coming by. Lowenbrau is a good beer that gets a bad rap. You usually can’t even get it in my market. No one wants to distribute it here except a chain of supermarkets called “Harris Teeter”. It’s a cheap premium.
