Bervie, you obviously didn't do the full pub crawl when in MJ snd probably not at CL either. You may recall that your average Brit pub beer is 4% alc which is the N. American standard for 'Lite' beer. Recommend you ignore the likes of Molsons Canadian and Labatts and have a try at some of the others which have not only good flavour but more buzz per buck than your aveage Brit ale. You should try the micro breweries for a good pint or even quart: Brewsters, Earls, Whistler etc etc
Bottoms up!
