I'm sick of the American beer bashing as of late.

American beer doesn't suck.

Yes, major mass-market American beers like Budweiser, Coors, and to a lesser extent, Miller, are not good. However, as an American, I don't actually know any fellow Americans who drink these beers regularly. If I am to drink a lighter American lager for economic reasons, I''ll drink a PBR, an Old Style, an Oly, a Hamms, something of that ilk that it half the price of a Bud though superiour in quality. If I am to drink a decent beer, there is no shortage of microbrees to choose from. Regardless of where I am in the states, from Brooklyn to Kansas City to San Diego, I can find a top-notch local microbrew.

Canadian beers, as a whole, are not superior. And I say this with Old Trad currently being my favorite beer. However, mass-market Canadian beers (Molson, Moosehead, Labatt's) are every bit as piss poor as Bud.

So yeah, if Bud = Cass (and I'm not defending Bud, it's awful) then Moosehead=Hite.

Have you ever walked into a Beer Store in Ontario? There are literally well over 300 beers to choose from. Sure, Molson Canadian and Labatt's Blue suck. They are not what most Canadians drink. Although, I do like Moosehead as a generic beer, but there are tons of other Canadian beers that are excellent. I am a big fan of Sleeman's.

I am sure there are many beers in America that are good as well. But the ones that get exported are the ones other countries have experience with. Much like, almost no Aussie would ever drink Foster's.

i love grabbing a budweiser, watching the nascar races and shooting squirrels in my back yard with a shotgun

it all depends on what you like to drink .. for some, beers taste good and others not so much

[mindmetoo]

Agreed, OP. If you compare Molson's to Bud well I'll talke Molson's but if you offered me a beer brewed in WA, OR, or Northern CA I would take that.

Anyone who loves beer on either side of the border isn't going to drink a mass market beer.

Moosehead is a great mass-produced beer!

I really miss my Steamwhistle though... can it be bought anywhere in the kimichi-land?

Come on people Alexander Keiths India Pale Ale or Keiths Red!!

Greatest beer ever!! and yes molson and labatt are just as bad as the piss that is coors and bud, but most canadians that I know dont drink molson or labatt unless they are poor, new to drinking, or a messed up sense of patriotism.

Some of the mainstream beers in Canada are good and are great to take camping etc... Beers such as O Keefes extra old stock, Old Style, Kooteney pale, and Keith's.

US mainstream beers are absolute crap in comparison. Ie ; Coors light, Bud, Pabst blue ribbon

Generally speaking, most Canadians can also outdrink most Americans when it comes to consuming beers. Either it's because the alcohol content is stronger or Canadians learn how to drink in bars when they're young and Americans have to wait till they're 21.

Most Canadians? All 30 million of you? Really?

Three Floyds out of Munster and Bells out of Kalamazoo are two of the best non-Pacific Northwest beers I ever done had.

We can all agree that microbrewery beer is better than popular beer, regardless of where it's from.
