Those bland lagers show up any spoilage organisms and oxidation problems much quicker and easier than those high hop high malt brews which mask many off flavours.
From a brewers perspective the publics move (here and in the UK) to lagers was a long slow fight that they lost

Its just supply and demand :unsure:


To be honest Labatt fought tooth and claw to prevent Bud becoming their number one brand, party because they've had to pay royalties on it and partly as it was one of the most expensive beers to make with 21 days siting in the conditioning tank on bleached wood chips, when an ale would sit in the tank for no more than 7 days

I've seen that in eastern Ontario small towns (almost always an un-hypenated). Was he heading to the legion after the beer store.

A quite nice pub I've been in Perth, Ontario has 'cinquante' on draught.

Years ago, there was 50 Light...back when 50 was a bit of a distinctive taste.

That would have been the sort of English emphatically not used by purchasers of Labbat 50. As I'm sure you'd accept.

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.
Very close. Rather than bland they said "more drinkable.":rofl: Apparently, Canadians also like their beer to smell and taste of bananas:blink:

Aren't all the liquor stores etc owned by the government?

I guess that could be seen as good and bad.:confused:
