Handwritten notes: This beer is made exclusively for Manitoba. My question is, and always has been: why? There’s nothing so different in this beer to explain its special appeal to a Manitoban. It could very easily be “Pilsner” with a different label. I love marketing ploys, they are a fascinating look at human psychology. Unfortunately that does not mean that this beer is worth your heard-earned Loonie.
