Im from the states and for the last year I’ve changed to Labatt as my “protests purchase” because of the asshole is the Whitehouse. I probably could have done a better job of reaching things as it seems Labatt sold in the states is actually a US company and not Canadian. However, the product is branded very Canadian so at least is appears im purchasing Canadian. All that said, is there an actual Canadian brewed beer I can purchase in the states you’d recommend? (Looking for a simple lager or pilsner.)
James Ready, made by the folks who make mooshead, which is also a fine brew. AFAIK still independently owned and operated
I don’t know about “fine brew” - it’s basically our Busch - but it is drinkable. I’d go for a Moosehead green or a Canadian first.
OP, it’s hard to make recommendations without knowing what’s available in your area, but odds are it’ll be limited to Labatt and Molson, with an outside chance of Moosehead. Out of the three, Moosehead is definitely the “most Canadian” in terms of local ownership. Sleeman may also be available but is owned by Sapporo.
Also, thanks for doing this - it may seem a small gesture, but a small gesture repeated 350 million times makes a big difference.
Haha, it’s a fine enough brew for me! :)
