Exactly what I was going to post. There isnt much difference between Canuck macro lagers and American macro lagers, except American macro lager commericals tend to feature more boobies in them.

If you want a good, lighter bodied lager, get yourself some Carib. Just make sure it wasnt abused, as those clear bottles do lend themselves to letting the beer get skunked.

I find that American macro lagers taste even more watered down than Canadian ones, but then again I drink neither with any regularity. Then there are light beers... you may as well just drink water and save yourself the empty calories.

Neither, get a tasty micro brew.....

like all micro brews are tasty?

Generally speaking, yes. Not all of them taste good, mind you, but they generally have much more flavor than Labrat Blue, Molson Canuck, Bud, Miller Lite, etc.

i don't place LaBatt in the same genre as Bud, Miller and Coors

PSA: It is spelled "Labatt" not "LaBatt" as it is not a French Canadian name.


John Labatt. The second syllable sounds like 'bat' not 'bot'.

Same / Same. Give me a Race Rocks or Vancouver Island IPA.

That's your opinion, and you are welcome to it. However, both Charlie Papazian (who has forgotten more about beer than you and I will ever know) and I see macro Canuck lagers to be extremely close to American lagers in terms of the style of beer. Macro Candian lagers are, at most, a subset of macro American lagers.

At one time, I used to think that Molson and Labatt's were a fair step above BMC. But they I got adventurous in my beer drinking and discovered that really there isnt much of a flavor difference at all.

I've drank some of it. IMO, it's spelled "Labrat".
