Is Labatt Blue beer any good?

[Maddy McCall]

Just say a commercial on TV and was wondering, since I plan to heavily indulge this weekend after I get through with classes. :-)

1. Don't know! When I am in your neck of the woods

I drink Blackened Voodoo!

[Maddy McCall]

2. Please expound on it...

I usually mix drinks, so I am not wise on beer selections. Is it a beer? Can I buy it in MS?

Why do you like it? Alcohol content?

Thanks for info:-)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

5. It's a dark beer from a microbrewery made in LUZIANNE

:D a bit sweet but not too much so..goes GREAT with spicy food..not sure about alcohol content as NSMA is a lightweight! I imagine it's 3.2..aren't most beers?

[Maddy McCall]

6. Thanks for the info...

I saw it is made by Dixie. Cool--I'll have to look for it this weekend.

12. Drink a few for me

:D

24. Most beers sold in America are around 5.0% ABV.

3.2% beer is what many states require for sale in supermarkets and convenience stores.

3. Good stuff!

and it comes in the coolest box! :bounce:

[ornotna]

4. It's pretty good....

better than a kick in the stones with a frozen boot.

[gristy]

7. beer of choice when I was in school

It was good and also cheap. Sold it in the pop machine in the basement. A few years after I graduated they changed the bottle and increased the price. But it's still good!

8. Try it; you'll like it!

[HEyHEY]

9. yeah

Out of all the Big Brand Canadian beers it is my favourite next to kokannee

10. Chimay

Is my choice of the moment. :hippie:

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. I have recently been told about Chimay

and bought a single one (considering the price!!!) that I will sample tomorrow afternoon when I get off work at 1 p.m.

:)

[The Lone Liberal]

13. Who shared their knowledge of Chimay with you,

Must be a very discerning and classy person. LOL

[greatauntoftriplets]

14. Can't quite remember who it was....

...a real boozehound, probably. Glad to have a second recommendation. Thank you, The Lone Liberal! Oh, I see you have more than 1,000 posts on DU. Guess you have been around for a bit. Nice to meet you.

[greatauntoftriplets]

27. Well, whoever recommended Chimay to me....

I like it. Thanks to whoever out there told me about it!

:hi: :toast:

[KCDem]

20. that stuff ROCKS!

beer for wine-lovers. Mmm, Chimay. I can't believe that they can consider themselves in the same category as Bud, Busch, Lone Star, etc.

[Pert_UK]

22. Try a Leffe Brun or Blonde if you get the chance....

Similar stuff.

I managed to find a source of Chimay in China, but it was MUCHO expensive.....seriously, it was about 75c for a litre of strong, reasonable Chinese beer (like Tsingtao) or $3.50 for about 330ml of Chimay.

Only for special occasions!

P.

15. Chimay not available here in Georgia *sob*

Blackened Voodoo rules.
Labatt Blue is fine if you like the flavor of corn but no hops.
Any beer is a good beer in the right circumstances.

16. Canadian beer is like making love in a canoe

fucking close to water.


Seriously though, no offense to my Candian DU'ers, but Candian beer is :puke:

[ClintonTyree]

18. Well I'm NOT Canadian..................

grew up close to the border though and I can categorically state that you sir, are wrong. Canadian beer has it over American beer like a blanket. Most Americans think "Bud" is the nuts, it's like dishwater compared to most Canadian Beers. I'm a Blue Lite fan myself, but I've had just about every Canadian beer made. US beer sucks. Just a matter of opinion though I guess.

[inthecorneroverhere]

21. Huh?

Canuck beer is at least drinkable compared to mass-market American brands.

German beer, however, is the Uberbier!

[Lefty48197]

17. I don't like Canadian beer

it gets me drunk.

[Tom Kitten]

19. Labatts ok...it's cheap...

and it does taste better than your usual macrobrews...I'd put it on a par with Foster's maybe?

Whatever happened to Moosehead? A while back that was thee Canadian beer!

[mac56]

23. Foster's that is distributed in the US -

is now made by license in Canada, by Molson.

Moosehead is still around. It's pretty good, but the recipe has definitely been "lightened" in recent years.

[Loonman]

25. I think so

Labatts is good stuff.

[billfromwny]

26. Go for it

It's my beer of choice usually; when I'm not in the mood to spend a lot extra on a "premium" or "specialty" beer. It certainly beats any American mass produced brand. But when I do cross the border, I like to try to find some Molson Stock Ale; close to 7% alcohol content and goes down so smooth!
