At random: In World War II the Germans lost 782 submarines, the Japanese lost 130, Great Britan and Commonwealth countries lost 88 subs, Russia lost 110 submarines and the United States lost only 52 submarines. Twenty-three of the Japanese subs lost were victims of the American Submarine Service.

I should bug my Canadian sales reps and tell them to have a beer and a smoke on me, eh.

Remember the old days when beers and smokes were CHEAPER in Canada? Used to be that was a good reason for visiting up there...

They still are; when you factor in the Exchange rate.
And, if you show up in a kilt and play the bagpipes our polite neighbors will ply you with good Canadian Beer.

I'm not being sarcastic, but what is a good Canadian beer. Don't be telling me it's Molson.

I like Labatt's 50 Ale and Labatt's Blue of the massed produced beers and I also like Moosehead.
Here's a website of some of the lesser known brands and brew pubs
Just click on the map to find beers that "tickle" your palate

I'm a big Ale person both in taste and size. I didn't know they brewed an Ale. That will be rectified this month when I'm up in Montreal. A couple of the micro breweries are nearer where I stay when I'm up there. Unfortunately I think they'd be closed before the end of the work day. But I'll see if I can convince my driver (my local rep) to make a side trip. Yeh, like asking a Canadian if they want to stop and have a free beer or few.

Back in the day (as they say) my favorite Canadian brew was Dow Ale. They were bought by Carling/O'Keefe (bought by Molson) and the brand petered out....

We enjoyed a great Canada Day in 2001 at Dawson City, Yukon Territory.

When I was on the Monroe, we had an A-ganger whose family lived in Upstate New York. He used to bring back a pick-up truck load of Molson's and Moosehead and LaBatt's.

I just participated in a survey that mentioned the Lakehead Brewing Company in the Great Lakes region. Anybody familiar with them?
