That's right. Moosehead Lager sucks. The other night after a wonderful ride through fairhill, feeling just a little giddy, I saw a sign at the local liquor store, which is crawling distance from my house that said:
" Moosehead Lager From Canada only $6.00 for a Sixer !"
Look, I know you get what you pay for, but damn, I thought for sure this was a deal. I picked up a sixer, and headed for home with what I thought was a slam dunk. How could Canada treat me wrong. All my experiences with Canada have been great :
1. Spot Brand- from Canada, the greatest single speeds in the world, super folks to work with, and damn my favorite bike company, every time I ride my single I smile.
2. Blair- He's from Canada, the dude is fast as all hell, and fun as shit to ride with. Prime example, during the ride today, Blair sang the chorus to Proud Mary with me as the Pelotone bounded through Chesapeake City. He has a hardy laugh, which stings in your head as he laughs through the toughest part of any ride. Okay, that might not always be good.
3. Jones Soda- from Canada, artsy fartsy pictures on the bottles, fruity flavors and damn really just the best soda you can find.
So with all that goodness, how could I go wrong with Canadian Moosehead. Blah ! It was awful, almost as bad a Budweiser. It was so bad my dog even gave me a dirty look. Seriously, Riley and I have shared many a beer, and never has he given me a dirty look. We sat on the deck relaxing, I took a couple sips, and decided to share with my pup. I poured some into his bowl, he rushed over, took a couple of licks, turned and looked at me as if he was thinking, " What the frig is this? You call this beer? Why waste my time? " With disdain he walked away. My dog wouldn't even finish it. So I have a 5er of Moosehead in my fridge if anyone is interested.

Are you sure Moosehead even has an alcohol content? Isn't it like O'Douls or something?? Oh, I was telling Bry today...I thought of a header or something for your Blog. Maybe you've even thought of it already.......Here goes....Eternal Sunshine of the Spot Brand Whore. Whaddaya think?
you know what they say.....
Budweiser... it is like having sex in a canoe!
fucking close to water
can not type... I better read instead
Moosehead is mass-produced piss, I wouldn't touch it with a bargepole. A bottle of Khybeer (brewed with real coffee!) is what you want. Unfortunately, there's not much chance of it ever being exported outside of Nova Scotia...
The Jalapeno ale isn't bad, either.
