Still perpetuating the "Canadian beer is stronger than American beer" myth, I see.
They're rated differently. CDN is rated by weight and US by volume, which on paper makes the Canook beer stronger. They're the same strength when you do the math, and in most cases they come out of the same brewery. Sorry, kids.
You want strong beer? Get yourself a sixer of Camo 900 24oz. cans and have your next of kin call me in the morning. If the taste doesn't kill you, the headache will.

Well I know Bud is different north and south of the border. Bud up here is brewed by Labatt. And I know it should be the same formula but it certainly isn't. Just to be fair, I think Bud is crap on both sides of the border. I know I have to drink a whole lot more american beer than canadian to get the same buzz, with a lot more trips to the pisser to boot.
And I happen to be drinking a Rickard's Original White Ale that has 5.4% alc./vol label on it.

So, it's about the same as an average American full-flavor beer. Miller High Life is 5.5% by volume as is Bud Ice; cheap-shit Busch Ice ($14 for a 30-pack) is 5.9%.
Trust me, years ago I did plenty of drinking on both sides, and no... your beer ain't anything special, including the Budweiser or any other brand. Particularly the American brands, since the Canadian breweries are under contract to duplicate the beer to the last molecule, alcohol content and all.
If anything, it's psychosomatic. It's just what you believe, and your brain makes up the difference. The Canadian Beer Myth has been just that for eons; you may have Canuck-exclusive brands that are higher gravity, but so do we... in fact, the highest-gravity "mass-produced" beer of which I'm aware being available anywhere in the world is Sam Adams Utopias, brewed in Boston and sporting a healthy 12.5+ proof... not percent, mind you, but proof. 25+% by volume.
Funny thing is, the weight of the beer has more to do with the alcohol content... for instance, I can drink gallons of Miller Lite at 4.2%, but give me a six-pack of Sam Adams Boston Lager at 4.8%, and I'm ready to switch or quit... do you really think that .6% makes the difference between twenty-plus beers and six? Why will four Guinness Draughts beat me down compared to fifteen Red Dogs, when Red Dog is 4.2% compared to Guinness' 4.0%?
Keep living the lie, but come drink with me some time.

I don't drink beer often, but I like Shiner Bock it's a Texas beer, not available anywhere else from what they advertise. I flat out refuse to drink when we visit my wife's family in Oklahoma best you can get there on any brand is 3.2% just makes you have to piss...

or something.....
Except in Raley's, Albertson's, Safeway, Fred Meyer, and nearly any other grocery outlet in Nevada. They just don't tell Texan's that. That way they feel special.

Many have tried, Few have succeeded!:bravo:
But Brador HAS more alcohol by volume than the average Canadian beer.

Keeps ya warm in the morning.

my dad and uncles made potatoe beerand cases of it. so my brother and i thot a few cases could disappear and they did. we were young. then. nobody told us not to drink the mash. WHAM WHAT A TRIP. we were and our friends were pouring out the beer and hoisting the mash. i was in bed for 3 days, somebody had put a magnet in the floor to. cause every time i sytood up i was drawn to the floor and i could move my body but my head couldnt come off of the pillow. good stuff that was. we were found out when the parents phoned and all was not forgotten. parents screw everything up. we were happy then we hurt a bit but we got over it. usually by asking the next guy to pass one over. . we found out that the mash is the bad part. and it was what they called green. tasted alright to us. i never drank alone after that -- i was always with myself after that . or beside myself. and then i quit drinkin when they invented the funnel. and when it was a 24 i would say 2 for who. .. as for the stuff that wuill rot your socks off or anything else that you own is NEWFIE SCREECH. or a Red Cap beer wiyh Manitoba Rye chaser. 6 of those and your done.their called submarines - 6 and your under. anyway i quit years ago and now i feel hungover. thanks for the reminder. tho. :bwuhaha::bwuhaha::bwuhaha:altho a shot of dandylion would be good with beef abd watermelon wine is good with shrimp. but SCREECH will strip the paint on a ship just staring at it thru the bottle. and dont ask a Newfie for homemade screech cause there arnt to many people that can stand up to it. never had it , seen it and what it can do. i guess i was just sober enough to watch it work it,s magic and was impressed.:bwuhaha::bwuhaha::bwuhaha::bwuhaha:

I have serious issues, so I'm
I took a couple pics today, one before I stirred it and one after. The raisins plumped back up to grape size, pretty cool. It farted at me when I stirred it though.:shifty: Smelled like lemons and wet grass.
My 6 year old asked me what it was when I uncovered it and I told her it was tomorrow's dinner. I never saw such a look of horror on a kid's face, LMAO.
