Molson: Canadian for Crap

I don't think there's anything else to say about this other than NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!. My Canadian friend and fellow beer pal Chris reports:

Creemore no more?:

"Molson's intention is for Creemore to continue operating as a distinct organization benefiting from its own people, knowledge, recipes and marketing methods," said Kevin Boyce, the president and CEO of Molson Canada.



I still fondly remember the place I had my first pint of Creemore, at the Absinthe Pub at York U in 1991. Here's hoping....
