Did anyone like the BC Lion Lager? Is It coming back? After 4 of them, I liked them. But I could say that about any beer. Except Coors Light. I get that for free out of my city taps. Rider fans have Pils,Argos have Blue, can we adopt a beer? Do they still have OV in Montreal?... I still know the song for that. My dad loved Red Cap, and I still know the song for that. However, at least... I still know Pythagoreans theorum. Anyone need a carpenter North of Hope?I'm not rambling again am I?

I have a friend who is a great beer taster/consumer and is very particular about his beers. He thought it was lousy. Even I who don't drink much thought that I had had better.
Tell me how long must a fan be strong? Ans. Always.

Unfortunately I would have to agree. I got a 12 pack for the WF and a few of us each had one. Was pretty unanimous that they wouldn't be half bad if your first one was actually your 7th - 10th beer of the night.

I have to be honest D I didn't even know they still bottled Shaftebury. I haven't seen their brand in 7 or 8 years. Of course PG isn't exactly a hotbed for the microbrews.

:no: I am a seasoned veteran of beer drinking and this beer is average at best. Nice can but russell beer isn't like Bud or Molsons. It is better than Dude Beer though.

Apparently because they have grown so much and can't meet demand, they "outsourced" a lot of the production to a brewery in Winnipeg.

The guy on the Shaftebury label is a friend of mine - yes, he's a real person (...not that I don't have a few imaginary friends....) . His son was the graphic designer who did the label and he put his ol' dad on it. Nice guy BTW.

Shaftebury lost a little something when Sleeman bought them out and closed the original microbrew in Delta and started mass producing it.
