**** me, we get ****ed over so huge in Canada. Decided to buy a case of Stella yesterday. Right away I noticed 473mL cans instead of 500mL cans. I made a comment to Lisa about it. Why would Europe change from 500mL cans (European Standard) to 473 mL cans (North American Standard).

Then I poured us a beer, Lisa noticed right away how pale it was. I thought maybe I bought Stella Light (not even sure if there is such a thing) but check the can and nope.

And the final clue was no head/foam. Real Stella always has a big frothy foamy head and leaves a thick lace on the glass as you drink it. Nope. No head, no foam, no lace.

I finally realized something was up. Checked the can. Yep; brewed under license by Anheuser Busch right here in Canada, but still charging import prices.

WTF??????? You mother****ers.

$71.80 for mislabeled Canadian beer.

Yes; I'm angry.

ICNLT. Ever.

Morning all.

I almost have a hangover yesterday's festivities. I think I might have to dry out this afternoon and not drink on the golf course. I can already tell that when I get home from the golf course I will do a big swan dive onto the couch.

My wallet also fills a bit of my pain.

Our last family vacation I was buying 30 packs of Genesee for our boys for $30. That is 50 cents a can.

I think it's been about 15 years since we could even buy a can of beer for $1 here. Maybe longer.

Yes, he does. But apparently he gets paid for accounting/finance type stuff. Scary.
