I have to agree with Rob that Stubbies is where is should be at. I have
always been a fan of stubbies and my favourate beer (Alexander Keith's
India Pale Ale) has always been brewed in them. At least thats what I
thought until I went home last Christmas and learned that if all your 
stubbies were not into the liquor commission by December 31, 1985 that
you could not get your deposit back on them and yes, Keith's had gone
to tall neck.

While we are on the topic of useless properties of the Canadian beer
industry, I'd like to know why it is that we in Ontario are deprived of
Maritime beer (such as Keith's which everyone at home in Nova Scotia
drinks) which is much better tasting than the garbage that they brew in 
Ontario. Just about everyone in the world can drink Moosehead except us.
People in the States and in England tell me what good beer we have and
I can't even drink it without going home and bringing back a case or two.
BTW, is it legal to bring beer across provincial borders by putting it
on a bus as freight?

There is something vitally wrong with the Canadian alcohol industry and
particularly Ontario (where else do you have to go to separate stores to
get wine and beer?). Something should be done.
