Portuguese beer ?

Post by Luc Gauthier »

Reading through the LCBO's ( Liquor Control Board of Ontario ) , ( largest province in Canada ), financial statement for 2006-2007 , I find in 25th place , Portugal .
- The LCBO sold for $ 700,000 in Portuguese beer :shock:

Yes, both Sagres and Super Bock make many types of beers. I like Super Bock, but like Andy, prefer the Sagres style. Super Bock is much more popular in the No. of Portugal while Sagres is far more popular in the Southern areas around the Lisbon base.

Although I do prefer the dark version of Super Bock though. The regular one is like drinking Bud Light :help:

Sagres is a good summer beer. They sell in my area for like $12 a case!

Andy will remember aguardente liquor store I brought him to always has a case special on Sagres. It's quite popular with Brazilian population

Really? How much is a case of Bud Light? I really have no clue. I was guessing at $12 for Sagres, as one point there was a $9 sign, but don't know if that is still legit. I remember in high school in the 80's; Busch was $9.99 a case...

In college, my friends used to drink this stuff called M.A.S.H. Beer (camouflage cans and all) that we could get in a neighboring town for $0.99 per six-pack. And it was strong (5.5%) beer, too.

Thankfully, I wasn't a beer drinker then either. Because I suspect that stuff was really bad.
