-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

American beer and Canadian beer is the same stuff in different bottles; cheap pilsner lager.
There are approximately 20,000 different kinds of beer in the world, 80%-90% of Canadian beer and American beer is pilsner lager.
Canada and America both pretty much equally suck in the beer department.

Aren't all pilsners lagers? Pilsner Urquell is the original pilsner, brewed with soft water and Saaz hops. All lagers are made with bottom fermenting yeast. That being said, there is a great variety in pilsners and some are delicious in my estimation, while others make me want to gag. Canadian beers are historically, in my opinion, better than American beers. In recent years however, the growth of micro-brews and smaller breweries in the U.S. has helped me to enjoy more American beers.

Yes, all pilsners are lagers, but not all lagers are pilsners. The point is, all of North America is a beer wasteland. Neither of us have anything to brag about.

Yeah, but the point is, some of the teams that play baseball are based in Canada.
I mean who the fuck cares, no one in canooda seemed to mind.
Just out of curiosity, you say "Canada is a non factor on the world stage", I assume you think America is a factor? What, if any role do you feel that you have played in helping America reach, or sustain its "factor" status?

oooh check you out. I would rather live in a country that is a non-factor on the world stage than live in a country where I am a non-actor on the stage of democracy.
Yes, America is a very big influence on the world, however, at least we can vote and have an impact on our government.

I'm not really familiar with Mexican beer. I would expect it to be pretty similar to America though really.
It's hot in Mexico, and would expect thin light-bodied beers (like pilsners) to be popular.
Also they, like America, have lots of cheap corn.
Wouldn't Mexico be to hot to grow hops?

I suppose there might be some areas up in the mountains that could support hops. I'm not really familiar with Mexico's climate, the convection patterns of the Pacific and atlantic ocean, and jet stream.
I think though, that for the most part Mexico is warmer than the US and Canada. Am I mistaken in this?
Maybe we should start a new thread about beer and get it out of a thread about Canada and the Fox network.
I mean i guess it was kind of relevant when it was about American and Canadian beer and comparisons of Canadian and American culture but now it's just dum.

I dont know what pislners/lagers your talking about, maybe besides the mainstream bud/miller products. Sam Adams stands as one of the World's finest lager, not to mention all their other beer. It all depends on what you like, if you like hoppy beer, light tasting beer, etc. In North America we have the finest diversity of beers, that inclues pilsners and lagers. Maybe your just not a fan of a lager, stick to ales and stouts and whatnot then.
American has some very damned good whiskeys/bourbons as well.

Bud is my favorite "in the sun" beer, after real Canadian (not imported) Old Vienna. I also like Brooklyn Brewery IPA alot. The flavorful brews, I prefer in cooler weather when I don't drink to slake a thirst or keep cool.
And maybe I can and maybe I can't. I would suggest you pack a lunch though. j/k
