We have a road here that gets rockslides and trees down, but that is one BIG rock.
Not to mention all the beavers.Christ, that's gotta affect at least a dozen people! (and three bears)
I prefer Alexander Keith’s to Moose…
Did you try a Molson Brador, which had a 6.2% abv? At uni in Montreal in the late 1960s I drank Labatt 50, an ale, but most of the young Yanks visiting Montreal I came across went straight for Brador. I think it was the high abv that attracted them.
At Sheffield in the 80's we used to drink an ale that was over 15% abv. It was served in 1/3 pint glasses and you got a certificate! I think it was a pub called the Parrot
Me too. First had it while in Halifax with the Navy in the early 70s. It was quite a while till it was sold in Ontario.I prefer Alexander Keith’s to Moose…
Did the certificate entitle you to a liver transplant if you collected enough of them? I don’t think I could get even 1/6 of a pint of that stuff down my gullet. I don’t like strong beer or ale. When I‘m in England visiting the family I drink best bitter in the pub, which tends to be at the lower end of the abv scale. At home I drink Guinness or Alexander Keith’s, but only if they’re on tap. Today Guinness is my favoured tipple as it’s widely available on tap. Failing that I’ll drink the canned stuff with the widget. In my youth I travelled extensively for business in west and east Africa and Guinness was always available and the safest tipple available. The only drawback was that it was in bottles, as the can with widget had not been developed at that time. It was a life saver nonetheless. A few years ago I visited the Guinness brewery museum in Dublin; it was like a pilgrimage to a shrine.
I apologise for digressing so far from the topic of this thread.
I just misread this. I thought you visited a German brewery in Dublin. Now that would be a pilgrimage to a shrine. The Black Stuff, not so much, but a German blonde waitress with her girls out?
