- While I wouldn't reccomend any of the Sleemans I've
- tasted some of the Molson products are drinkable.
- The porter doesn't seem to be available any longer.
- I would suggest Wellington's products [especially
- cask conditioned], Conners,Upper Canada and Niagra
- Falls brewing[Thier stout is quite nice and the
- maple syrup beer is also very interesting]
-
- Did you compare local Molson golden [imho coloured
- water] to the stuff exported to the US?

-
- I'd bet that was "local" bud.[i.e. brewed by either
- Molsons or Labatts] I've seen very little US made
- draft sold here. I don't think any of the licensed
- products can be imported.
