Being Canadian ourselves, for our first adventure we decided to test out the beer that bares our namesake. The beer tested well in most categories except for a few. Overall, however, Molson Canadian delivered what we hoped it would and more: fun times and a good sleep!

This week we decided to try something a little offbeat, but not too crazy, so we gave John Labatt Classic the nod. This is considered a "premium" domestic beer as it is very full flavored (not to mention expensive!). This beer, although not bad, did not fare well with the society for a number of reasons. The foremost reason was the extremely annoying foil label which rendered the beer virtually impossible to open without a strong pair of manly hands (a rarity around here) or to drink without cutting into our lips. Also, the very full flavor makes it a tough beer to drink an excessive amount of (for the amateur at least). Nevertheless, it would be a great beer to have while playing a round of golf or sitting by the pool.

Even though we have already tested a Labatt product, we decided that Labatt Genuine Draft, or just "LGD" as the cool kids say, would be our next highly scrutinized beer. It was a long, sunny weekend, and everyone was pretty tired from the eight game softball tournament that we just competed in. Because of this, everyone's willingness to partake in our beer testing festivities was severely affected. Everyone showed up, but the scientific beer analysis was left to only a hardy few. Nevertheless, we still had a pretty good time with a pretty good beer and we have the pictures to prove it.

Okay people. Now I know that Coors Light may be the #4 best selling beer in North America, but really, a light beer? Come on now. We at the society can't waste our precious resources on such a weak excuse for a beer. Perhaps you drink these so called "light" beers because they have fewer calories and a lower alcohol rating, but lets not kid ourselves, you'll just end up drinking more in the long run, so switch to a real beer. But, being as we hold only a moderate amount of biases, we put Coors Light through a few, albeit breif, tests, because hey, we are The Beer Society, and we answer to the people.

Pilsner? PILSNER!? Now I know what you're thinking, who the hell has heard of Pilsner? You probably haven't if you live outside of Canada, but trust us, it does in fact exist (and we have the pictures to prove it). This was an interesting night to say the least as we initiated our first true members. The new inductees Janis, Gena, and Christine, were all put through a carefully selected hazing routine. The routine is as follows:
- Beer bong one beer (two if your a guy)
-
Wear your clothes backwards all night (which really sucks when you've had a ton o' beer and you need to go pee!)
-
Let one of the other members do your makeup (even if your a guy)
-
Finally the topper, you have to go into 7-11, looking like a freak, and get your picture taken with the employees.
At the end of the night, the verdict was clear: Craig and Jon should no longer be allowed to apply makeup!

This was a relatively rushed affair as we didn't call the meeting to order until late in the evening. We also had a mass initiation take place as Rob P., Rob H., Mike, Shawn, and Sean all took the plunge. I must say that their egos and pride must have taken quite the plunge as well because they looked like quite the fairies with their clothes on backwards and a face full of eye shadow. Sad, just sad. Luckily for Craig and Jon, the founders, they do not have to partake in such juvenile activities (they just have to think of them and make other people do them!). Also, a special thanks to Corona Extra, whose sponsorship made this whole evening possible!
