Fanpuck33 Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 they don't sell carlsberg here. Just finished a 24 pack of Corona from Cinco de Mayo. Then stupidly the family bought Budweiser :puke: I got Carlsberg Elephant in Dayton once, it was God awful. Anyways, nobody has yet answered the question I had that brought this thread back from the dead: When did Molson stop putting funny labels on the back of the bottles?

JoeLassister Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I've never seen those labels. I'll give you 2$ each. MP me if you want to sell me those bottles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 I've never seen those labels. I'll give you 2$ each. MP me if you want to sell me those bottles... Sorry, those have a special meaning to me, which is the only reason I still have 'em. They were both from the first six pack I ever bought. Bought them to watch the Habs game my parents taped and mailed to me, since I didn't have Versus back at college. P.S. If anyone was wondering why I kept that bottle of Carlsberg Elephant even though I said it was the worst beer I ever had, it's because as a kid I collected elephants, so I had to keep a bottle, hehe.

JoeLassister Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I bought at the SAQ 2 bottles of Samichlaus 2004 Countries: Austria Brewery: Brauerei Schloss Eggenberg Bottle, 33 cl brunette, high fermentation, 14,0 % alc. flight(theft). Beer brewed once a year in the daytime of St-Nicolas, on December 6th and aged during 10 months before being bottling. Rich, almost creamy beer, in the complex flavour where get involved a taste of Malta, a point(headland) of spice and the taste of the alcohol. i think i'll wait for a special event to drink it...

Pierre the Great Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 give me some good ideas for my trip down to the farm in a week. Cuz with 4 days til 21 I got some beer options. I refuse to drink Bud or Miller or Coors products. I've got Molson, Moosehead and Labatt what are the other big ones I can run into here in the middle of nowhere.

Pierre the Great Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Since when did Molson start calling their stuff "Golden" and "Ice" ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanpuck33 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Those are just different kinds, just like Bud Ice, Nati Ice, etc. The better question, which still hasn't been answered, is why/when they stopped the funny labels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 give me some good ideas for my trip down to the farm in a week. Cuz with 4 days til 21 I got some beer options. I refuse to drink Bud or Miller or Coors products. I've got Molson, Moosehead and Labatt what are the other big ones I can run into here in the middle of nowhere. Well, then, no Molson for you! I work right next to one of the MolsonCoors corporate office. Molson has always had Canadian, Golden, Export, Brador (if that's still made), XXX, Ice, etc. @Fanpuck: The Molson twin labels were at least interesting. I wonder why they disappeared, too. Current fridge stock: Breckenridge Brewery Vanilla Porter Labatt Blue (always on standby) Corona and Dos Equis Amber (the girl is a Mexican beer junkie) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simonus Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 if you are out and about in the midwest, you can't go wrong with Leinenkugel (Wisconsin) or Goose Island (Chicago) I too miss the twin labels and I still don't get why I can find XXX at just about any specialty beer store, but have to search high and low for Export and Labatt 50 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huzer Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 and I still don't get why I can find XXX at just about any specialty beer store, but have to search high and low for Export and Labatt 50 Amen! No Ex for me in Colorado. I've even asked at places I've gone in. Seems it's disappeared stateside since the merger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathieu30 Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I just got back from the supermarket with lots of Chimay. On saturday my parents will visit The Abbay of Saint Sixtus of Westvleteren and get us some Westvleteren*. *Widely seen as the best beer in the world.

Pierre the Great Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 I was looking for Molson Canadian and Import, I've seen it before at my local store but this morning all they had was "Golden" and "Ice". And why can't the importers in this country import 12 packs? Bet the american labels pushed for some law. Besides Heineken keg cans no other 'import' is in can form.

Budweiser is the only beer I've had that tastes better out of a can than it does out of a bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can get Molson Canadian, Labatt, Heineken, and various others in cans. The only times I buy cans is when outdoor concert venues (or parks) don't allow glass.

I get all sorts of imported beers in 12 packs, including Molson and Labatt. I have also, like huzer, gotten various imports in cans - canadian, modelo, and of course Bodingtons and Guinness.
