What beer are you drinking now? #4569

Not much beyond listening to Vegas get crushed tonight like every other team I’m pulling for in the first round besides Winnipeg. Every day I wake up, it’s the worst day of my Sox fandom. And catching up with threads I learned Rhode Island Larry may be gone. He will be missed.

But I’m in a mission to clear my Cellar, and this is my third consecutive BCBS. I feel like Nicholas Cage in Leaving Las Vegas.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable day, and those seeking hope or solace finds peace.

 

Thank you @Shanex !

Do you have access to Pilsner Urquell cans and prefer bottles, or just bottles? I always buy cans when able, in part because its lighter when I'm lugging beer home on foot or via public transportation plus walking, and in part because outside of Lambic or Quads, feel the the beer is preserved better in cans (OK with aging bottles, I ALWAYS refrigerate cans, never place in the cellar).

I know you've been to North America including Vegas, my American home away from home (Montreal is my "foreign" home away, in part because I've only left the US a few times).

Have you ever been to Quebec or speak with Cajan speakers in Louisiana? Do you also feel a gap between the culture where you live in Northern France and Parisian culture?

I'm hoping to return to Quebec Late Summer or Fall after a long hiatus from visiting Canada / Quebec. I also wan to hit the Maritimes for the first time.

 

Really appreciate your thoughtful responses. If I didn't have family in Vegas, I'd probably just use it more as a brief touch point before hitting State and National Parks across the South West, as I really don't gamble like I did in my 20s and 30s. Being from the city, I also better appreciate an escape to nature while on "vacation".

I wasn't a craft beer drinker (or even much beer) my previous visits into Quebec or Ontario. I really appreciate the unique architecture in Montreal, and did my best with my extremely limited French, which I'll study again before my next trip. My Chicago accent does not help both here or abroad. Montreal can be more accepting of tourists, but if you get deeper into the province such as going north to Quebec City, it is a bit more challenging as a non French speaker.

Unibroue has great beers, but I don't believe they have a public taproom. Dieu du Ciel! is my favorite Quebec brewery to date, and I'm really happy they recently resumed distributing here for the first time in nearly a decade.

Cheers!
