More thoughts on the women's hockey team smoking cigars and celebrating with beer and champagne.

I hope they were good cigars from south of Miami.

I would be glad to party with any of them.

And I'm glad they showed their national pride and drank Canadian beer even though it taste likes moose urine. A few bottles of Trois Pistoles would have been better.

I guess if the US Women would have won the Gold, they would have celebrated with Oreos and milk in keeping with the squeaky clean image that the IOC wants all athletes to have.

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.

Yep. Even us savage rednecks can appreciate the fine brews from up north. What got me started was a limited edition brew I found (and I can't remember the name right now - I think it had a 15 in the name?) a few years ago. That led me to the Trois Pistoles, Maudite, and Chambly Noire - all of which I love. I've also had the Ephemere. Didn't like it as much.

My life is now complete, I got to go curling today!

Congratulations to our Canadian brothers and sisters for an excellent olympics. The hockey final was a fitting closing for the Olympics even if the USA didn't win the gold.
