If you ask me, Molson’s doing its retirees a favour

Jun 10, 2009 Uncategorized Leave a comment

News this week that Molson Canada is cutting off 2,400 retirees by axing their free beer for retired workers program has people crying foul over how far companies will go to save money in these tough economic times. But if you ask me, it’s a win-win situation

Molson will save $1 million and the retiress won’t have to spend their golden years drinking the carbonated iguana urine that Molson calls beer.

If you actually like the beer, I guess it’s a pity to lose the perk. But I still don’t think these guys are being hard done by. I’ll be lucky if I get a free kick in the nuts when I finally retire and I work at a Consolidated Nut-Kicking Industries plant.

The unions should see it as an opportunity to transition newly-retired workers into a better life-beer situation. Just as a retiring worker at a Ford plant should get a Beamer to spend the rest of his days cruising around in, I say retired Molson workers should consider upgrading to a tasty Bavarian import of their own.

Sure they’ll have to pay for it, but that just makes them like the rest of us. Or, they can spend retirement like I intend to getting tooled up on Cutty Sark on my front porch, yelling at teenagers and complaining about the declining quality of internet porn. (”Back in my day it was made out of metal and you had to walk three miles in the snow to the interwebs to find it.”)

Can’t wait.

The Calgary Beerfest was shitty

Jun 3, 2009 Uncategorized Leave a comment

Hey beer fans. Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been distracted by research and hangovers and lacking in motivation to blog.

But I just attended the Calgary Beerfest at the weekend and it inspired me to publish something. But not before thinking a few days on just the right headline.

Anyway, I wouldn’t even call it a beer festival. It was more like a beer flea market. There was a lot of crap that vendors were trying to sell for way too much money. The place was full of sketchy people and you left feeling dirty and ripped off.

The good thing about a flea market, however, is that you don’t normally see dudes just bend over and lose their lunch in the middle of the aisle. But, that happened a few times while I was at roaming around the Big Four building. I guess that makes Calgary Beerfest cool, if you’re in the cast of Jackass. Otherwise, it’s a sign that people aren’t drinking responsibly.

It’s a bad omen for a beerfest when the biggest lineups are for a brand like Corona. I worked in the industry before, and believe me when I say it doesn’t take much to get big guys like Labatts or Molson off the couch and at your event. They don’t necessarily make good beer, but they bring legitimacy to events like this. Otherwise you’re on a used car lot full of Ladas without a Toyota or Honda in sight. But I guess the big brewers are as picky as I am.

I tried a few good brands that you don’t see a lot of around Calgary, like Half Pints (Winnipeg, MB), Grizzly Paw (Canmore, AB) and Cannery Brewing (Penticton, BC). But otherwise it was the same stuff you can get anywhere in Calgary - Big Rock, Wild Rose, Brew Brothers - or previously unknown European brands that probably should have stayed in Austria or Belarus or wherever they came from.

Anyway, I don’t think it was worth the $25 they charged to get in or the $2.00 most vendors charged to fill you’re little beerfest collectors mug. But I’ve been wrong before.

Someone’s been a bad beer blogger…

May 19, 2009 Uncategorized Leave a comment

Wow, it’s been a while since my last update. Afraid I’ve been focusing more on research than writing lately. I blame nice weather and bad economy.

Anyhow. Some new posts are on the way including some on new beers and perhaps a few pub reviews.

stay tuned…
