Each province was (is) different, as beer had to be made in province so no Kokanee Gold or Moosehead in Alberta. I had a summer job one year at the local golf course clubhouse and stocked the beer cooler, they sold 6 brands of beer with Labatts Blue being the best seller (had 4 rows of cooler space). If you were a snob you drank Carlsberg.
Labatts Blue x 4
Molson Canadian x 3
Lethbridge Pil x 3
Calgary Export x 1
Carlsberg (Imported) x 1
Something else, maybe Alta 3.9
Never liked the stubby, glad it’s gone, an icon of government over regulation and beer company oligopolies.
