Coors Lght and MGD are both god, so i don't know what the fuck he's talking about there....Bud isn't very good though IMO.

I don't know about them being God. ^^^^ :wink:
I drink Bud Light all the time and really enjoy it. Is it a Grande Beer? Heck no. And MGD is rather good also.
But Coors light may be the worst beer I have ever tasted.

I just saw the episode and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

The funniest part, in my opinion, of the Canadian vs. American beer debate is that most American beer sold in Canada is actually brewed in Canada (including Bud, MGD, Coors), and vice versa. I'm not a real fan of "American" macros but I don't see a ton of difference between them and most Canadian macros. Maybe I need to go to the States to get the real stuff to distinguish, though...

^ Now that's the objectivity I'm looking for.

I don't think it makes any real difference whether a macrobrew is an American or Canadian company, or whether the beer itself is physically brewed in the U.S. or Canada; macrobrews are what they are -- mass-produced, inferior in quality, but most importantly -- affordable and targeted to the tastes of the MASSES or a specific LARGE beer-drinking demographic. The fact is, more people want cheaper, "crappier" beer than finer, expensive beer, and the macros are in business to supply it.

Microbrewers exist both in the U.S. and Canada to provide higher-quality beer for the fewer numbers who want it and are willing to pay for it.

More affordable my ass, Coors Light is like $40 for a 24.

They're aimed at people who don't actually enjoy the taste of beer.

Re earlier comments on Canadians being friendlier, etc., my experience has been that contrary to popular stereotype and contrary to the impression created by the ravings of Internet lunatics,* most Americans will give a visitor the shirt off their backs. That's always been my experience anywhere I travel**: the genuinely nice people outnumber the others*** a hundred to one.

lots of american beers tend to taste more "watery."
but no taste is better than shit taste.
lord knows we have enough crappy beers up here (see all buck-a-beer beers, for starters).
would rather drink the stuff which tastes like water than sand.
