WHERE TO FIND IT: LA MAISON
First of all, I want to commend any establishment that sells pitchers of beer for $10 to students. Such an act of charity is worthy of many a high five, even if the quality of that beer is questionable.
It’s amazing how different La Maison’s draught of Canadian tastes compared to Molson’s preservative-filled, bread-like flavoured bottled version. Not better, in fact probably much worse and likely to cause bad hangovers, but you have to applaud La Maison for the unique effort.
Perhaps it’s unfair to review the cheapest offering that a beloved establishment offers. After all, I doubt anybody buys this on the basis of quality over quantity. But the next time you’re at La Maison and you’re looking for a beer that doesn’t leave an aftertaste of pee in your mouth, go for one of their Rickard’s draughts. They are only a couple bucks more and I guarantee they will fill you with much less self-loathing in the morning.
Bottom line: 2 out of 5
