I am a godfather of a blip. Woot! Click on through the image to get to the full story as printed in a Washington state paper, The News Tribune of Tacoma. Here is the story at the AP's own asap website.
Canada's Favorite Blog
Almost Famous
Articles
- Articles for the sister station, A Good Beer Blog.
- Pick any day's tunes as heard on CBC Ottawa's All in a Day hosted by my personal emailing buddy, Brent Bambury. You won't find a better music selection on radio anywhere - certainly not on the deeply dowdy CBC.
- Another plume catches my eye.
- Stuff less serious than Stuff.
- From Jan to March 2006, I tried a group humour blog with others on the subject of Canadian politics. It did not last but the posts were worth keeping. #16 was banned. There were no comments. It was at www.shadowcabinet.ca.
- Some writings and other junk of little real interest unless you like law or are a Crow.
A display of hideous graphics focused on the goal of figuring out where the smokestack I can see to the south is sitting.

Alan......Would you have any idea why Molson's Quebec-only Laurentide was discontinued? I remember talking to a bartender in Montreal one time and he said, as I ordered it..."Rice beer......beer of the future!"
Apparently it wasn't.

I thought Laurentide was still around in Quebec - a buddy of mine is a big fan. Isn't Bud a rice beer? I always expect to hear snap, crackle and pop when I open one.

I haven't seen Laurentide in 2 or 3 years, on my hockey trips to Le Belle Province. Maybe I was looking in the wrong places. Something about Laurentide made it different than any other beer for me....Bud, to me, is just another in a long line....

Great story. I liked the reference to record collecting before the internet. I have been there, too.
Btw, Alan, I have promised coverage of the Vienna beer scene, but I won't have time before my holidays. You'll have to make do with the reports over at my blog.
