- In the interest of starting a good flamewar while my bike is in the
- shop, I said:

- So young@mars.dgrc.doc.ca replies:
- > Hey, speak for your *own* part of North America.

- > Not all DoD'ers on this side of the pond drink Bud or Miller you know.
- > Some of us guzzle an occasional frosty Upper Canada Lager or a Mooshead

- I've never had a brew produced west of Ireland that was even in the
- same _league_ as Guinness, McEwan's or MacAndrew's.
-
- Except, of course, my own stuff, and that of my roommates... :) :)
-
- (Moosehead?!? MOOSEHEAD?!? Ptah. Ought to pour it back in the moose.)
- (When I think of Canadian beer, I think of Molson and Moosehead, and
- the thoughts aren't pleasant...)
-
- And tony@morgan.demon.co.uk (Tony Kidson) comments:
- > [...] However one swallow does not make a summer and _in
- > general_ American beer is far, far inferior to anything the UK can offer.
-
