and what is your point? I stated that the only good beer I had in Canada
was one called "I P A" ? It's name was "I P A", and it was an India Pale
Ale from a local brewer.

India Pale Ale, also known as "IPA" is a type of beer. There was a

Wish I could remember the name of the microbrewer, but I think I
killed that
brain cell drinking an I P A.

There are IPA's that do that right here, but again, they'll say
something like
Red Hook
IPA
etc. Which, by the way, is a pretty decent one, other than the one I
brew, which is a Sierra Nevada clone.

Lablatt, Molson and Moosehead are too similar to Budweiser, the

India
Pale
Ale. It is a great ale with a very hoppy flavor.


Jeez, here we go. Sorry, but I.P.A. is a TYPE of beer, not a brand
name. There are many, many thousands of brands of I.P.A.'s. Try
Sierra
Nevada Pale Ale, one of the best, and has won many awards. By the
way,
Labatt is nothing like the swill commonly known as Budwieser.
Molson
Golden Ale is close to it, though. Moosehead isn't a favorite of
mine,
too skunky.

Let's pretend that I'm from Missouri, show me.

Why don't we make this easy and just ask Don. It was a fairly common beer.

Sorry...my beer drinking is very limited. I tend to stick with something
I like. Got sick so many times as a teenager on warm beer that I am very
fussy now. Up till the 70's beers were very regional...it cost more to
drink brands from Montreal or Ontario and since we are a bit isolated
here with a small population and high shipping costs. Now the choice is
much better but I stick with my 'Blue'. I have never heard of the brand
I.P.A. but that means nothing.....lots of regional beers produced from
Newfoundland to British Columbia.

He he...so Me Again...you were just testing me.
I thought I'd better look through the Microbreweries here in Atlantic
Canada, and what do I see from the old Moosehead plant in
Dartmouth...taken over by 'Maritime Breweries'

note: in the last number of years, everyone & his dog are brewing beer
on site now. Reminds me of a letter that one of the Boston 'lace hanky'
crowd sent back home while visiting here in the 1700s
He reported that there were about 1000 houses in the town with 100
licensed to sell liquor, plus another 100 unlicensed doing the same.
He said it seemed that the business of half the populace was to sell
liquor and the other half to drink it.
Ah...those uppity New Englanders.....!
