You know you live in the Maritimes when...

[284_226]

You know that you are from the East Coast when:

1) It costs you 32 bucks to buy a 24 of Keith's ~ an East Coast Beer ~ in the Liquor Store in Oromocto, NB last week; but

2) It only costs you 27 bucks to buy the same damn 24 in Saint-Jean, Quebec 20 minutes ago!! And at a friggin' gas station at that.

WTF is up with that??

It could be worse.  It's $36.99 in Halifax, and they brew the #$!% stuff here.

You know you're north of the Annapolis valley and south of Truro in Nova Scotia when you don't have to worry about paying for beer because anyone who is anyone makes their own beer in the garage (which is usually just 4 pieces of plywood with a tin roof)  ^-^

Remember being in the Gagetown Sgts mess years and years ago
sign at the bar said :  Beer $X.XX and western beer $Y.YY

When I asked what the western beer was - was told it was anything brewed west of New Brunswick.

Then I asked what brands of western beer they had....


.... none, they didn't carry the stuff

(which leads to the question of why the $?%& the sign was there in the 1st place.

Hey man, I brews my own.  Started Down East and kept doing it here out west.  And it's better than Keith's, not much, but better. 
I think they import here, or Labatt's is brewing it.  But for some reason it don't taste the same as the ones at the Split Crow.

:cheers:

You've got Keith's out west now don't you? Well out east here the imported Kokanee is cheaper than some of the local brew (and Kokanee is amazingly better).

BTW: Don't let the fact that your home brew is better than Keith's get to your head  ..there's not much to say about Keith's, Its not too great in the first place.    :cheers:

Us east coasters use our famous hospitality to do things like that just to make those Kokanee addicts feel at home here.  We find that usually after they taste a real beer...they don't really care about the $Y.YY price anymore!!  ;D

There are only two kinds of people in this world.

Newfoundlander's

And those who wish they were. ;D

 

[geo]
