About 40 years ago, Molson or Labatt started to brew Löwenbrau under
licence. However, they had a big advertising campaign which announced
that they were modifying the recipe to suit Canadian tastes. I kid you
not!!!!!!!!
On the plane to Canada when I immigrated, I thought it proper to try a
real Canadian beer. They gave me a can of Labatt's Blue. It tasted awful
to me and I haven't had one since. In the hotel bar a few days later, I
saw a sign for Carlsberg and thought that, no matter the expense, I'd
order one, not knowing it was brewed in Calgary. Still, it was way
better than the Blue.
