If I cant get Keiths, I will usually opt for Stella or Molson Canadian (I dont touch Labatts). When shopping at the Beer Store or LCBO (Beer Store just sells beer, LCBO is like an off license - they dont sell alcohol in supermarkets over here),
Scotty,
I lived in Toronto for three years ( Bathurst/St Clair). LCBOs - what a memory. Whoever designed the LCBO system must have been a Wee Free. They all seemed to be located in the most awkward places to get to. Usually across a major highway and three blocks away from the supermarket that you shopped in. It was always a major inconvenience to get booze in Toronto or anywhere else in Canada and still is when I go back and visit. Great country but crap booze distribution. Met a wine grower here in New Zealand who had to front up in person in Canada to the one guy who buys all the wine for LCBO. What a job, what power. Hope he has a good taste in wine.
By the way with regard to Labbatts Beer. In the mid Nineties I was Skiing at Whistler and this guy gets onto the Ski lift with me and starts talking - Inverness accent! Had been in Canada 20 years and was now Operations Director for Labbatts. We discovered he went to the High school with my older sister and used to come to our house for parties. He grew up in a house opposite Culcabock Golf Course. His parents were still there at the time. His old man used to run a shop in Eastgate- an Ironmongers or something like that.
