Do they really, though? I mean, their mass-produced beer is crap, but Canadian mass-produced isn't much better; and there are some pretty good microbreweries in any US city I've been to (especially Portland). The again, there don't seem to be a lot of beers that have the balance of quality and distribution that Rickards, Big Rock, and Sleemans have up here. It seems any of the national American beers are crappy and the quality American beers are all very localized.
