That was a bad phase with the high octane beers. Black out drunk via the dragon juice. Definitely a different drunk.

What about club beer. Classic logo.

Calgary export lager…aka Calgary beer.

And OV.

Farewell to those locally produced Original 16 TV commercials that seemingly used an IPhone 4 to record the audio, for years.

Flames corporate sales have to be super pumped with the new building on its way. They can, just like Conroy, start wooing bigger names once again, selling companies on the fact that they can be on the ground floor for the new building experience and pay a premium.

Prime example here. Molson gets in now simply to be the ones to land in the new building first. Am sure they will have some decent presence in the new building as a result…a bigger and better branded lounge or lounges.

There is only one way to find out.

I say this as a veteran of 'Beerios.'

Gin, not vodka. Both clear, I get the mixup.

Snuck a case of Club into the bar one night to hide under the table..."uh sir, we don't sell Club here you need to leave"

Most of us cannot distinguish beer in a blind test, and certainly not after 2 or 3.

I want to push back on this but I know at the end of the day, you're likely right.

Honestly that's the best time to have a Caesar. Hang over brunch Caesar's are a must.

And Dutton's Original 16 Lounge now becomes Molson Hockey House at Dutton’s. Restaurant's now fully renovated and should be alive and kicking for the next two years until the Dome's closing.

Thoughts?

Gross. The flavour profile of high test like malt liquor used to get hammered.

Not only that, but you know at least half the people hating on Molson-Coors product consume some other equally bland nonsense.

Or IPAs.

Have you tried Bronc? It's down a bit below the price point of PBR and Old Mil, but I've been told it's quite a bit better and more full. I see it is local, and they have a Lager, IPA, Red Ale, and Wheat Ale.

IPAs

The d-bag factor is high

Don't fret, when people hate on IPAs they're actually just outing themselves as someone who has the palate of a little boy that can only drink light beer.
