There are lots of great beers out there, none are made by the big boys in either Canada or the US. I find myself buying only european brews now.
The best beer deal in Canada right now is Bavaria from Holland, $10:95 for a 6 pack of tallboys. Can't beat it, its is a nice easy drinking beer.

Anything brewed by Peroni can hardly be considered 'premium'. Italians, if given the chance, won't even drink anything brewed by Peroni.

Well, it certainly carries a 'premium' price tag.

Perhaps the Italians won't drink Peroni because it is owned by SABMiller, a company whose shareholders are 100% foreign (USA / South Africa / UK) and mostly American (about 64%).

Though really, I don't care much about what Italians think about the beers i enjoy. I think others might enjoy it too but could be unaware of it, so I thought I'd share. :?

Speaking of SABMiller -- they also own Pilsner Urquell (Czech Republic), which I like even more than Nastro Azzurro.

That depends on whether the Boston Brewing Co. is consdered one of the 'big boys', imo.

Yes....and they are quite delicious.

As for the original point, I agree that is not news, I can remember my brother, who is heavily into environmental issues, learning about this and telling my family about this YEARS ago.

And Canadian beers kick American beers' asses.

'Nuff said.
