Let's talk beer. Canadian Trolls: I just tried that Steelback beer, the one with the cheesy commercials with Mike Palmateer and Tony Esposiot. IT SUCKED!!! What a shitty tasting beer. I also bought Big Rock Grasshopper. That one wasn't bad.

Finally a topic other than the Leafs where you and I might agree upon?
Ponderous.

Give La Fin de Monde a try if you can find it in your beer store.
It sneaks up on you if you don't look at the alcohol content label... 9%

Rack! Unibroue brews the best beer in Canada. Maudite is probably my favourite.

Big Rock has gone downhill in recent years. They hired a new brewmaster and he messed around with my favourites, taking away some of the character of their beers.

Headstones. They broke up a couple of years ago, but their first album 'Picture Of Health' is still one of the best Canadian rock albums ever.

If you've already heard the obvious choices like The Arcade Fire and A.C. Newman there's a few others you might like:

The Weekend - Beatbox My Heartbeat
The Organ - Grab That Gun
Chad Van Gaalen - Infiniheart
Black Mountain - Black Mountain
