DarkStar50 679 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 fellas, we're a drinking team with a hockey problem. One of the guys was bringing home-made Lemonjellica, some crazy sweet Italian liquor that was going down in small shots like way too easy. Then the 3rd string goalie started bringing a cooler with #43(another wicked sweet after dinner liquor aka liquid crack) and a 12 pack of Labatt's. It was hell to get through the lobby after a few of those and your hockey bag feeling like it weighed a ton! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the taste, IMO, is completely different. I'm only 21 but growing up on the border I was drinking blue at age 17 with a fake 19 I.D. in Canada... To put it in perspective...6 bottles of Blue purchased in the U.S. will get me relatively drunk when consumed within 1.5-2 hours. 6 bottles of blue when I go up North and go out with my buddies to the most amazing strip clubs in Ontario, I am plastered.Blue's the best but anything does the trick, only beer I won't hack is molson canadian, usually just buy lakeport tho its the cheap mans blue. and not to get off topic but to anyone who has had the same beer but american and canadian versions, how much different is it really?, are the percentages far off?It's not the percentage, it's the water.Percentages and formula are the same, but the water used gives it a totally different taste.Canadian beers taste totally different in the US, and US beers taste totally different in Canada.I know the water is different, but I'm telling you Canadian brewed Blue has more alcohol by volume, damn sure about it too as it is my favorite beer. Wish they would start serving it at Lightning games so I don't get those nasty Molson farts the next day lmao Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

flyerman 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Anyone bringing Fosters to your games Joe?Brought some "Fosters" to the rink last week....brewed in Guelph, ON! Now the Coopers is authentic stuff -- a good, tasty lager actually brewed in Australia. The real Aussies could tell you more. I heard the Fosters there is completely different, like real Canadian Labatts and the watered-down stuff we get down here, like Guinness here and Guinness in Ireland, etc...Recently I bought some "imported" Japanese beer to go with some take-out sushi -- Sapporo and Asahi. Guess where they were brewed too?..... Guelph! Again, I'm sure someone from Guelph can say more on this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spreedizzle 1 Report post Posted January 21, 2008 Luckily here in the very eclectic town of Asheville NC there is a very strong underground home brew contingency. Apparently if you personally brew over 100 gallons of beer a year in your home it is illegal.....thus a ton of people do it in NC and either drink it, give it away, or bring it to hockey games. :) Most of my teammates are home brewers.....and a handful of them have made some VERY tasty brews. :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
