TennesseeGuy Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'm sitting here playing with the computer, watching fast cars and drinking a can of Labatt Blue. Paid $15.44 for the case at SamsClub in Hermantown, MN on the way home from my last trip to Ontario. I wish you guys up there could enjoy better prices on your drinks. I loaded up with a few cases of beer and several bottles of wine that my Doctor makes me drink every night before hitting the sack. Had to sign a form promising the purchase was not for resale.

Canuck2fan Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Nice doctor..... Blue why oh why? I don't care what you paid for it, it still ain't worth it. Nastiest tasting brew I ever drank. Although for some reason it was always the number one selling brew in Canada back in the day when I drank. I could never figure it out either. I used to have search everytime I went by the plant where they made it for where they kept the goats and mules they organically filtered it through. Could smell em but could never see em. LOL Anyhow hope you are enjoying the cheap suds..... but you could have at least bought a molson product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daplumma Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 That Blue aint the same Blue as in Canada.I can get it here but its not as potent.I am getting ready to watch the fast cars myself..and enjoy a real Blue from the Beer Store in Canada.

danc Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Joe is right. I'm sipping on a few Budweisers imported from Minnesota just this morning while watching the same race. The Canadian beer sent down for sale to the US is not the same stuff that we buy up here. The standards are lower down there and we meet them for export purposes. But the Bud that I'm sipping on at the moment is made for importing back into Canada only at the duty free shop. Same stuff that I buy down the block at the Beer Store. In fact I can take my cans back for the refund as well. Enjoy the race TG and Joe. The 48 will win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck2fan Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 (edited) No way 48 is going to win. Cousin Carl is going to make it 3 in a row!!! Dang I was wrong on that one.... Edited September 1, 2008 by Canuck2fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishdawg Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 ya it is too bad that we pay rediculous prices for the booze... living close to the border i too often bring some beer back across - never noticed a huge difference it taste... think it may depend more on how fresh it is i too am watching the left turn derby as well for a bit before i sneak out for some fish'n Jimmys holding the lead so far...

BillM Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I'm drinking a few MDG cans that I picked up at Topps for $18 for a 30 pack. The beer prices up here suck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nancur373 Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I make my own. Pretty damn good and only cost little over a dollar for a 12 pack. And best of all I control the alcohol % Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danc Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 High beer prices are part of the plan for free health care. Count your blessings boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeGuy Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I never pass up a duty free store. In past days I made lots of beer, lots of times and it was good. Let it age 2 weeks and it matched Bud. Age a month or two and it became great, or at least that's what I thought. By the way, my Blue can has "Imported" painted on it. At the beer stores in Fort Frances and Red Lake I think a case goes for $40 or more. Doesn't seem right. If I ever stay more than three weeks or so in Ontario, I might set up shop and do a little cooking. Won't venture a guess on what Dawg would do, but I think a couple of us know. A farmer in a neighboring county had his barn roof blown off and rain ruined his hay. He offered it to me to put on my garden and when getting it my pitchfork hit metal. Copper. Lots of copper. Told the farmer about it and he said, "Oh yeah, I was keeping that for a guy." BillM, that price is good, but I haven't been able to find it.

TennesseeGuy Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 nancur373, how about sharing your information with us. What you use, how you do it and so on. The ingredients I used to us (in the 70's & 80's) don't seem to be around any more. I still have all my equipment except I'm a little low on bottles. Don't really know what to buy to start over. I have two 6 1/2 gallon fermentation tanks + all the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennesseeGuy Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I will do up the list and post it in another thread. Hopefully tomorrow. That will be a good contribution to the board. Thanks. Somebody for sure will find flaws with your method, but I'll kick their butts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillM Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Whoops, I should have said MGD, not MDG... I guess I have had a few to many TenneseeGuy, no matter what the beer as long as it's cold I have nothing to complain about.. I am not to much of a beer snob.. Now Rye/Whiskey is a different story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennesseeGuy Posted September 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I read it as MGD on your first post. Without trying. How do you find that price? It's not where I've been on my visits to Ontario. Are they charging me more because I'm different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huntervasili Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 In BC I paid a purdy $36 and change for an 18 pack of Canadian... Wish the beerstore was here, would have only been like 50 cents more for a 24... Ohh well... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally somebody has noticed this outrageous injustice Wait a minute!!!!!. After having two more Heinekens I’ve come to a conclusion that a price of beer is only responsible for about 0.000000001% of total fairness. I can live with that P.S. Does your doctor accept new patients? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whopper Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 I don't mind paying the higher price as long as there's some fresh walleye fillets in the fryer. As far as the wine goes, I think I might have to add it to the sauce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
