LabattBlue Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Just curious...where in the US can you get a Labatt Blue from either a bar or store. I am assuming most US/Canada border areas carry it. I was in Florida on vacation the last two years and was treated to a steady diet of Miller, Bud, Coors & Amstel(no Molson to be found either).

BillsNYC Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 You can find Blue in lots of places, but Blue Light is tough to find. I got into a WAR with Labatt because they refused to send kegs of Blue Light to us at McFadden's. I assured them that we could go through at least 5 kegs of it a week...and they STILL wouldn't send it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbeau Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 Hear in Jawja, you can generally get Blue in beer stores and in most grocery stores in some form (6 or 12packs). Blue light is more scarce. The only bars you can really find it at are generally the ones that pride themselves on their beer selection. For all you Atlantans, when I first moved down here ('99) I caught Three Dollar Cafe selling Genny Cream Ale as an English Import I was with some visiting friends from Rochester and we called 'em on it.

Conversely, the proper way to order a Molson would have been "Give me a Molson's". Note the "s". Another note in the annals of Canadian Beer Drinking History!

theNose76 Posted February 1, 2005 Share Posted February 1, 2005 I was at the Westward Ho casino in Las Vegas one night this summer and they had bottles of Blue for $1 . I couldn't believe it because that was probably the crappiest casino I had been to (and I was at most of them). I played $3 blackjack there for about 2 hours and won like $10 total lol. While in Vegas I liked to drink Dos Equis (XX in Spanish), very good Mexican beer - much better than Corona. Also had it at a bar/restaurant in Orlando when I was living down there called The Ale House, they had tons of beer on tap and that was one of them. Also, when I've been in Canada (NF) I've always said "Canadian" when ordering a Molson, since it's on tap EVERYWHERE. But in the States I say "Molson".

Bob4Bills Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I live in 'Super' Jacksonville and have been able to but Labbatt's anytime I want. Check any ABC liquor store for sure and now most grocery stores sell it as well -Molson too. I could do without the stupid bear commercials, though...

agilen Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Its on tap at a few bars here in CT, though i would have expected more because Labatt USA's headquarters are right in my office complex. You can get it at most liquor stores. The real problem, however, is that Blue is treated as an import...making it a lot more expensive than it is in upstate NY, where its priced as a domestic.

BuffaloBud Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 When I lived in Raleigh (2 yrs ago), Blinco's on Six Forks had it on tap. I can get Labatt Blue and Lite, Molson Golden and Canadian here in Columbus OH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckeyemike Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 Being the Canadian beer aficianado that I am, I am happy to say that Labatt and Molson's are readily available in the Cleveland area, both in stores and on tap. Mostly, it's Labatt Blue and Molson's Canadian, but I have seen some of their other brands (Blue Light, Golden, etc.). It's Moosehead that I have a LOT of trouble finding around here.

Buckeye Eric Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 No problem in central Ohio. Blue and Canadian. In Columbus two places (The Anderson's and Pace/High carryout) you can find just about anything including many regional micros (yep, even Moosehead Mike!)....

plenzmd1 Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I actually preferred the "50" when living in Buffalo.
