People say that. I carry a fierce dog to put them in their place:

Rude and unhelpful bartenders. It's not my fault they did crap unmarketable degrees in communications or business studies.

Re: What's wrong with Canada?
So you mean UK beer is measured differently? Because this doesn't effect Leffe being Belgian. Carlsberg in UK has 3.8% and 5% in Canada... explain? What they call in UK as Carlsberg Export has 5%... I thought it came down to consumption target and economics of transport.
I'm not quite sure why it matters whether the figures are measured in imperial or metric though - surely the point of percentages is to eliminate that kind of discrepency.
I think it may be down to whether it is measured by volume or weight.

Re: What's wrong with Canada?
Probably not the first and last fib that they would tell you at Labatt's...
Did they tell you that Canadians prefer bland lager with little in the way of discernible taste and that they know best when it comes to Canadians preferences for beer.

A small percentage who think they are a much larger group than they really are (ala CAMERA) would like stronger tasting ales and lagers (it includes the brewers too) but they don’t make up enough volume for it to be economically viable on a large scale
They do produce some less mainstream brands but nowhere near the volumes of the others

Nope...... its the consumer research groups that tell you that the primary consumer group wants easy drinking lagers, along with the sales figures

Re: What's wrong with Canada?
Not exactly relevant, but I actually witnessed a middle aged Canadian purchasing a 12 pack of 50 just yesterday. I should've took a photo.
