Light lagers, in my experience, be it Molson or Labatt or Budweiser or Miller, are mostly pretty similar. I enjoy a good lager (e.g. many German and Czech ones), but in general I stick to ales: IPAs, porters, stouts, and Belgian styles. That being said, I did have some tasty craft-brewed beers in Montreal a couple years ago. Fin du Monde is excellent!

I lived most of my life on the US/Canada border and mispent my youth going "over the river" to drink after our bars closed and American beer is very, very different - flavour, alchohol content. But, okay, maybe Oregon beer is an exception. How about German beer, does that seem any different to you? splutter…splutter…gnurk… huh?

XUP - My, how little you know about Oregon beer and its drinkers. Frankly, the only difference between most Canadian beer and most American beer is that the Canadian beers' labels are in both English and French. Steve – who knows!
