Canadian versus American Beer

I have two beer a day. One with my lunch.
There is quite a controversy about American beer versus Canadian Beer.

I like both. But Canadian beer seems to have a more distinctive taste. As far as alcohol content is concerned you can buy beer in a grocery store in the u.s. which is 3.2 %.

Canadian beer is always about 5% except for 'lite' beer.

We have a malting plant in town that exports malting barley all over the world. The taste comes from the brewmaster who decides the ingredients in the batch.

I visited the plant. What they do is get barley to sprout on huge screens. Then they stop the process and export the malting barley all over the world. So if you are drinking a beer in the U.S. or the U.K. the chances are the malting barley comes from Canada. The hops are European and the brewmasters search for the best hops they can find. That's what gives the beer that 'hoppy' taste which is unique in different brands.

Lots of imported beer to try as well. The European beers seem to favor a more 'hoppy' taste. Lots of people like that hops taste. I'm not a fan of it and I gave it a try. I like just a plain lager or an ale.

Plenty of mini breweries to try as well. Beer has been taken to a new level.
 

At 18, growing up in Niagara Falls, NY, we would travel every weekend to Yonge St, Toronto, Ontario for the stronger beer. Some evenings we would even be able to drive back....
 
I live in lancashire and there is a greater choice of Real Ale here than anywhere else in England.
Beer and Ale tastes vary in accordance with local ingredients and recipes.
When I am home in Scotland I like to drink Heather Ale - made from real Heather. Strength varies, some ales going up to 28% or higher but most average out about 4-5%
I've tasted some American beers from micro-breweries and am quite impresssed. I have never tried Canadian though, but I will look out for some.

Boy Preston England.? Guess what? My inlaws came from Preston England.

My grandson is named Preston. Small world. Yes you should try some Canadian Beer. Export Ale is good as about just any lager. Around 5% for alcohol content.

I remember my mother in law saying something about being born under the Bow Bells or something like that.
