ergh. the people who keep quoting what i said about canadians descended from the french, later i clarified my statement. i meant that SOME canadians are in some geographical areas, and the americans have a lot of different ancestors also.

I have no idea what you're talking about... At my school, there are more Asians and Europeans (other than British Isles and France) than there are British Isles and French.

Oh and muy_thai, if you're going to post pictures of whiskey, make sure that you get a REAL whiskey and not that piss you showed us.

haha, I love how the US and Canada fight in the South Park movie. We were pwning you guys with our human wall. lol. 90 degrees is cold in comparison to where I am right now in Nor Cal. Where it's about 105 to 110 during the middle of the summer... Another difference is you guys use the metric system. I still don't know why we don't use it as well, since it makes much more sense than the random ass measurings we use. For instance, freezing point... 0 degrees makes sense right? but nope we use 32. lol. ahhh, but it is our differnces and eccentrities that make us great

I have to give you guys props for hockey too... Anyone that can skate like made on ice, while having huge ass guys try to knock you out, and trying to get a tiny little fucking puck into a net, has my respect.

I'm curious which is more popular.... Personally I prefer a cold beer after a day at work... Maybe I should make a poll

Well, most Americans actually really truly DO think that the British Isles are all the same country.

And there's nothing wrong with that. There's no reason why a well-rounded, educated non-British person needs to know exactly how the British Isles work. Jesus, life's too short. All you need to know is that everyone speaks some mangled form of English, and some of the men wear skirts.

That's why I was too scared to actually start it. The last time someone started a mildly controversial thread on Britain, it turned into a nationalistic flame-war quicker than you can say "the Irish have a over-keen sense of victimhood."

Actually, yes, that's something else you need to know about the British Isles.

I know, just going with what the label says.

Why kind of beer do you brew iz man? ale? lager? Do canadians prefer hard alcohol over beer? People always complain beer is too filling, but a few well timed burps make you feel normal as always. This can be difficult at parties however....

2dimes · Post by **2dimes** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 6:16 pm

Generally it's beer crap commercial lager, or rye whiskey in Canada.

Canadians think their crap commercial beer is better but it's just different very slight higher alcohol, and you like what you're used to.

Appearently rye takes longer to make and did not recover from prohabition thus it's not popular in the US.

I think most Canadians love their beer. Almost everyone I know considers themselves a connoisseur.

I myself have at least a couple just about every day after work.

Fo Sho · Post by **Fo Sho** » Tue Jul 31, 2007 6:23 pm

All this talk about beer is really making me crave one... but I'm still at work. Only a little longer though

. Got a nice cold silver bullet waiting for me. haha. (watered down commercial beer I know, but I still love it)

Just finished my first after work and am heading to the fridge for my second!

Usually I'd rather have an ale but occasionally coors light is pretty good, it's different depending if it's real or the molson one they're both ok. http://www.coorslight.ca

I brew just about everything except what would lie in the "lager" category. That is, beers which require cold conditioning. Lagers, pilseners, oktoberfests, bocks..... to name a few.
They require basically a dedicated refrigerator which I haven't aquired yet.
Right now I have in the bottle some American IPA, a Strong Scotch Ale, an Arrogant Bastard clone http://www.arrogantbastard.com/, a Kölsch, and a Bavarian Hefeweizen.
For those interested, I highly recommend grabbing a free catalog from here:
http://www.northernbrewer.com
or here:

Beer, its not just for breakfast anymore.........
