    In Canada, beer and god are both based on faith. Canadians just believe that what they are served is beer :rolleyes: [just doing my bit of racial jokes this morning]

        Ben Franklin was quoted as saying that Beer is proof that god love us and wants us to be happy. (maybe slightly misquoting here).

          Yeah, but I didnt Wiki it. Its obvious beer was first brewed where cereals were first planted, and thats the Iraq/Iran region. Its like wine. You need grapes first.

              That's proof that Beer's been around since the 19th century.

                  There was a discussion on the Germans, French and the British below. My question (maybe controversial) - Who invented Beer? :)

                      What's the difference between Canada and the US you ask? In the US "Moosehead" is a beer, in Canada it's a felony.

                                      There was a discussion on the Germans, French and the British below. My question (maybe controversial) - Who invented Beer? :)

                                      Me, I'm dishonest. And a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest.
                                      Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for...

                                        I always thought it was on the sixth day. On the seventh he needed to rest.
