Interesting topic Kakki and leads me to more. I have picked up the habit, so big in Texas and elsewhere I suppose but really big in Texas, of drinking beer. Have done so for years off and on but never really enjoyed it (until now), more to go with the crowd and because it is relatively inexpensive and less heavy than liquor. So easy to order "give me what's on tap." One little bar in Lubbock in which Jeff ( my friend that introduced me to Joni) and I spent countless hours playing video games, because it was close to our house and we neither one had a car, had Moosehead beer. Loved it. So fresh and light, so clear and breezy. Now drink it only if I can help it though it is tough to get here. What was interesting to me was reading the label last evening while thinking of all the Canadians here on list. Actually it is lager, according to the label. What is the difference? Anyway, it says it is Canada's oldest brewery and from the Maritimes of Eastern Canada. Don't know if any of our canadian friends are from that region but it kicks the shit out of american versions.
