How the mighty have fallen. I have been keeping an eye on http://www.thebeerstore.ca/ in the hope of seeing some news of the appearance of a mixed pack from Dead Frog Brewery of British Columbia. No luck so far but the rumour is it will happen in May. Fishing around a bit, I spotted Labatt's Blue listed as a discount brand!
Discount brands are the retirement community of beers. I almost felt a touch of regret. Blue was once the biggest selling, not to mention most heavily advertised, beer in Canada. I couldn't stand the stuff and the after-taste put me off even more. It looks as though once the ads stopped, so did the buying - not the first example of this in the beer world but certainly one of the more extreme.
