GDT: Canada vs USA

This is some serious salt. I actually came in here to say I thought the US was the better team tonight and I don't agree with the first disallowed goal. But you make me feel good about the way things played out.
We live rent free in all their minds. People can’t talk hockey anywhere without mentioning the Leafs. Lmao! Love it1

I think it goes without question the euros do beer the best, specifically Germans and Czechs.

Lagers and wheat beers only.

Ales, you’re looking at Belgium and the UK.

But the US does a lot of styles well and they’re a lot more innovative than a lot of the conservative European countries who are now copying North America for some of the newer styles.
 
To be fair, I can’t say there’s truly a beer out there I won’t drink.

Coors is close, as is Canadian. That said, I’d still drink it. I wouldn’t act like I’m better than anyone and say “no, I won’t accept that”

I like the occasional craft beer but I find I get the shits badly after truly getting after it.
 
I'd like to chime in, I like Czech beer the most, with German second... Poles can make a good beer too, basically all beer from Central Europe is good, domestic North American is disgusting.

I actually had to pour out a Labatt Blue on the golf course. It had gotten warm and was undrinkable.

Coors Light had a temperature reading on their can to turn it blue when cold because it’s brutal at room temperature.

Personally I think that a good beer doesn’t have to be ice cold to be enjoyed, and in general there’s less flavour the colder it gets so for some beers it’s counterproductive.

I’ll also agree with Labatt Blue. Not a fan of that either, but if you hammer it back it’s not too bad.

Never something I’d ever buy willingly though. Whenever we have big ball tournaments that’s always the beer we have the most left over of for sure.

Honestly, when I'm back home. I find carling to be manageable for a crappy domestic. Not nearly as sweet as canadian and coors. Has go be in a bottle though.

I mean, if you try a bunch of stuff and it’s still your favourite beer, well, good for you.

If you drink Budweiser because it’s the King of Beers but have never had any other kind of beer I think you might be missing out.

I’ll give anything a try, one thing I won’t do is suck back this greasy, gasoline IPA while my eyes water and say “yeah, this one is actually pretty good”

Who drinks beer when there is red wine? Lol!
Tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning doesn’t drink red wine…

When it comes to big brands, I’ll drink Stella, Heineken, Corona, Carlsberg, Kronenberg.

Canadian big brands, well, I guess Molson Canadian or Keith’s is probably the ones I’ll pick under duress.

But Molson bought a bunch of craft brands like Creemore so usually you can find something.

HFbeerboards is on fire tonight

I had a few Sierra Nevada Pale Ales to celebrate the win.

I feel like a traitor!
 
I will say , the usa looked unreal for sustained stretches of the game. Very suffocating, quick and put a ton of pressure on.

Canada cashed in, kept the momentum (especially with the negated goals) and had some great goaltending
Milic was so deserving of player of the game, the guy was a stud in net. Still, although USA played really well with cohesion and speed, they didn't have the skill that Team Canada has.
