Handwritten notes: Ugh, a pissy Canadian perversion of the Pilsner name. Hosers, let's put our heads together and think of a new name for "Canadian Pilsner". Every time I think "Pilsner" I think of a citrussy and bitter refreshing as fuck beverage. My mouth waters as I twist off the cap of a Canadian Pilsner, hoping that (just once) a Canadian brewery will get it right. Instead it's a Labatt Blue clone that's not worth much more than the 10 cent bottle deposit. Blah.
