But in Canada we tend to treat "beer" as a plural: "We went down to the pub and had a few beer." This may not be "proper" English, but it's proper Canadian!

The Canadian lexicon, according to this source, believes beer can be both singular and plural. However in other cultures it is not.
Is that to say the sport we love to watch is not "hockey" but indeed "ice hockey"?
Is the largest sporting event in the world the World Cup of Soccer or the World Cup of Football?
So it appears that the plural of beer is both beer and beers, either is acceptable in the Country of Canada, or should it be the Nation of Canada, Dominion of Canada, Great White North, God's Country?
And thus ends the great beer debate of 2007
