National pride wouldn't have been enough to make me drink Molson Canadian, all the generic mass market lagers like Molson Canadian, Kokanie, Labbatt Blue, etc fall under the branding of moose piss. There's a very active microbrewery industry in Vancouver and the rest of Canada that produces very good beer, it's just unfortunate that Molson Canadian gets so much press. It's sorta like saying that Budweiser is the pinnacle of American beer because it's the one that everyone knows about.
The funny thing is that they wrapped the champagne bottles in Molson Canadian labels. Considering Molson Canadian is the beer sponsor for these games I'm guessing the alcohol was all either provided by the IOC or they were instructed that anything other than Molson Canadian needed to be covered up for sponsorship reasons.
