Well done I've warned the liquor store to double their stock, there's an Englishman on his way...

There's really no need to try the Labatt 50. Celebrate with some champagne instead.

Cinquante is an absolute assault on your flavour buds compared to this swill.

I can't believe Sleemans' brew this stuff.

This one may be more up dbd's alley

Here is a beer that seems to have slipped off the radar big time.

The champagne will be out later, no fear of that....

Just googled Labatt 50 - didn't sound that bad?

"C'est What?", the bar, was and probably, still is, unbearably up itself. I'm not about to try the beer.

Cinquante has a curious green tint to it, it's very dodgy indeed. One day I was standing at the bar in the Yard when "Franco" walked in, face like thunder, Franco was the enforcer for some ex-Montreal gangsters who worked from the block. He usually drank exotic cocktails. "Cinquante" he demanded and downed it. "That's been my ****ing day" he said. I later discovered that he'd broken his cell phone while pounding some mule who'd failed to deliver. Now I buy 50 for visitors from abroad and think of Franco's sage advice "buy Motorola. In my business phones are suffering, Motorola can take it".

It's my story and I'm sticking to it. 50 is a beer for days when it seems things cannot get worse. Hemp beer I dunno about.

It has a reputation as being a beer for blue collar types or old men (or both). It gets little to no promotion these days and is hard to find on draught (well the Lafeyette House in Ottawa has it but haven't seen it anywhere else in ages) and has a very low take-up by ladies.

Cinquante was more flavourful in the past, but like many beers brewed by the behomeths of the Canadian beer world, it has been dumbed down significantly in terms of IBU's.

Would you expect anything else from the man who thinks the IT industry in Canada is only the GTA,DB3 and banking.
