Do Canadians really know anything about beer?
"I have a question, do Canadians really know anything about beer?"
I keep seeing this comercial, and it's driving me nuts. I guess it's working as they have planned, because I really want to know what the comercial is for. The suspense is killing me!!! 
anybody know what it's for?
I'm expecting Molson, but hoping for something more interesting

Is it just me or does that guy seem an awful lot like Ed Helms?

If I didn't already hate beer, whatever company that is promoting that ad would find itself permanently boycotted.

Other than the fact that they've both been on the Daily Show, not really.
Jason Jones is actually a Canadian (as is his wife and fellow Daily Show correspondent, Samantha Bee), although he plays the pompous American pretty well.
Molson's the beer sponsor on TSN hockey broadcasts, right? Since it just aired during the Sens-Canes game, it must be for Molson. Hopefully they give us the payoff soon.

I've tried alot of beers in my life time but to me Molson Canadian hits the spot.. not to filling, refreshing, good alchohol % I love the wheat-ish flavor.
I hate beers that are too skunky in flavor...
My favorite beer is probably Japanese... Kirin

I had to see that commercial about 20 times before I finally figured out there was no hidden message....or small website address.....or some other subtle form of advertising...for a while I thought I was going nuts.

Do people that drink Molson Canadian really know anything about beer?

They were playing the ad at the dome last night on the jumbotron and on the smaller screens above the mains ones they were showing a molson logo at the same time during all those ads. So I would assume that it is a molson campaign. I'm sure the ads will carry on with more soon.

I'm pretty sure its a Molson Canadian commercial. After it is played they do the "this period is brought to you by Molson Canadian" thing before the puck drops.
Really frustrating commercial. I don't mind the storyline commercial that keep you in suspense, but in order to do that I believe it they have to be quick. If people don't know what the product is and they go on for this long and this often people either begin to lose interest or get annoyed.

Glad to hear it is Molson because I already don't drink Canadian. Way to much of that in high school.
It'd be interesting for somebody to post a map of what beer companies own other companies and which are linked.

I guess it depends. It wasn't until the other day that it hit me that I hadn't seen the end of the comercial. Then yesterday at the bar we were talking about it.
Now here we are talking about it. Seems to be working.

Labatt's is pretty bad too. Blue, 50, Wildcat ... all terrible
As far as Canadian beers go, I avoid Labatt and Molson like the plague. I'll drink pretty well anything else.

Labatt's is far worse then Molson. I can keep Canadian down but doing that with Blue is a challenge. Plus Labatt doesn't sell a beer that's anywhere near as good as the Molson-owned Creemore Springs.
