Randomguy Posted April 3, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 3, 2020 So Mexico decided that beer production is "not essential" and beer is no longer being produced there. Is it still being produced in the states? This may be the start of beer hoarding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have about 15 beers in the fridge (I don't drink much at home at all) and a fifth of gin, so I should be good for a while.

It is driving me crazy what the C stands for , the BS is Breakfast Stout I think. brb! Well shit! CANADIAN Breakfast Stout. 11% - woo-ha! https://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/1199/47658/ Wait - do you notice anything wrong with this? Canadian Breakfast Stout is an Imperial Stout brewed with a blend of coffees and imported chocolates, then aged in spent bourbon barrels that have most recently been aging pure Michigan maple syrup. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the beer they sell to the masses so they can make good beer. Their breakfast stout is fantastic, especially aged.

I wasn’t impressed. That was probably four years ago and it’s still the only Founders I have seen locally. They even sell it at the gas station.

MickinMD ★ Posted April 3, 2020 Share #27 Posted April 3, 2020 Mexican beer was essential when I was a grad student at IIT in Chicago. We poor teaching assistants relied on Mexican beer at 89 or 99 cents a six-pack because we couldn't afford the extra 60 cents for Bud, etc. No twist-off caps, but one that had an indentation on the bottom of the glass bottle that you could use as a bottle opener for other bottles.
