When I first arrived in Canada and hung around with the neighbours in their garages (they don't smoke in their houses) we all drank imports and premium brands, then as time passed, we drank more and more and to save money, we all settled for the common popular brands - Molson Canadian, Labatt's Blue, Budweiser (Canadian brewed) and Carlsberg (also locally brewed) - that's where I realized that the standard taste for most people was a 5% lager. Soon, some of us even went for the lower cost brands (Lakeport). One neighbour brews his own beer and comes up with different concoctions, sometimes coming up with some really excellent recipes, too bad he was unable to repeat what he makes with consistency, but we all drank it just the same. Rarely do I go to pubs there but if I do, I usually order Rickard's Red on tap - one of the few dark beers I like.
Cheers!
