Molson M - a Canadian by any other name...

Molson M won the Canadian Brewing Awards 2010 gold medal for "North American Style Premium Lager". Now I have to admit, upon reading this I was sceptical that any big brewery beer could win gold.

My scepticism was well founded. I saw M available for the first time in my local liquor store this afternoon, so I picked up a can. Are you seriously trying to tell me this isn't just Canadian in a new can and twice the price? If so, I don't believe you. How this typical, mass produced, nothing-to-write-home about brew won anything is beyond me. Try it if you must, but don't say I didn't warn you.
