All hail to our Canadian beer drinking brothers to the north.
Went to visit my sis and brother-in-law this past weekend, they had just returned from a trip to Toronto where my brother coached a hockey tourney. Needless to say he brought back some of Canada's finest. ( I think)
The treasure consisted of Labatt Maximum Ice, Molson XXX, and Upper Canada Lager.
Seeing as my sister, bro-in-law, and I all play or have played hockey we felt we could handle the potent bounty of brews.
We broke into the Labatt Maximum Ice at 8:30pm on Friday, tasting slightly stronger than regular Labatt Ice with a 7.9% ABV. After the first bottle things started to go down smoothly, for ambiance sake we pop "Strange Brew" in the dvd player and continue on.
Around the "Mouse in the bottle scene" my sister started slowing down considerably, obviously feeling the effects of the brew.
"Bob and Doug get a job in the Brewery" even though we've all seen this movie multiple times we're laughing hysterically, commenting about the lack of aftertaste in each passing beer. Sis is looking for munchies.
"Miss Elsinore fires Brew-meister Smith" about this time we decide to try the Molson XXX. Talk about flavor shock! Much stronger taste even with our deadened senses. I'm starting to have a little trouble focusing on the TV.
"Miss Elsinore sees video of fathers death" second wind came on strong with the new taste of the Molson, we decide to take an intermission and wake the neighbors with a quick firework display on the back porch.
"Bob and Doug framed" back to the movie and tired as heck from laughing we notice the large amount of empties piling up and the snoring emanating from my sis on the couch. Never even heard our wonderful fireworks display.
"Bob and Doug in the loony bin" things are getting a little blurry, not much talking going on. Entering the semi-comatose state. A suggestion was blurted out from somewhere to try the Upper Canada Lager.
"Hosehead flies to save Oktoberfest" Ugh, feeling like I've eaten a seven course meal after two Upper C's. Tasty but filling, no third wind coming from this brew. The hallway to the bathroom seemed much longer and curvy compared to previous trips.
"The End" Literally... movement becomes impossible, vision is gone due to eyelids refusing to open. We are done for.
I have never had such a horrible hangover in my life!! The sight, smell, and taste of any of the three brews would send a pain spike directly to my forehead reminding of my previous nights adventure. Death would not come soon enough...
So, in conclusion, I have a new found respect for our beer drinking brothers of the "Great white North".
For all those who haven't seen "Strange Brew" I highly and soberly recommend it.

but I find it great when I head down to the states and party with some friends, and they are already wobbly after 6 beers, and I'm just asking if they bought non-alcoholic by accident! lol. so can you guys buy any Canadian beer in the states at all? is it just because there is a limit on the alcoholic percentage allowed in the beer in the USA? well glad you enjoy our brew, maybe I should set up a smuggling ring
