So I'm out for lunch with a few clients and partake in a Friday afternoon beverage to start the weekend.
Pick out one of my standard far superior Canadian beers. I take one sip and sit back to enjoy the afternoon as the business talk starts to turn to golf trips and the bond markets.
Then out of the corner of my eye I see it.....
:scared
WTF?????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?????????
I grabbed the waitress by her short skirt and asked...
Is it True???????
Has the Manna once again been delivered from the promised land!!!???!!!
"Yes", she said in a sly whisper, "We have the nectar"
I immediately put aside my swill away and order up a round for myself and my two associates.
Let me tell you, It was a great start to a Friday afternoon.
So when I get back I immeditaly google it and find out yes..
Rolling Rock is coming to Ontario.

TORONTO, ON ? Marketing Magazine reports that Labatt Breweries has brought the iconic American lager Rolling Rock to the Ontario market, doing so with very little fanfare.
According to the report, Rolling Rock was launched on draught at approximately 100 bars across the province in mid-January, and cans will be available at the LCBO and Beer Store next month.
Now why you ask, is a Canadian so exicted about a beer from the Springs of Latrobe PA?? Well lets say I spent many a university weekend partaking in the drink down in the US and have many great memories that go with it.
I always would ask why we could not have this in Canada, as I am sure North Koreans ask why there is no electricty in their land like the South Koreans have.
Rolling Rock is my electricty finally being turned on here.
Not believing it, I called the LCBO (Our version of big brother that controls the Alcohol distribution in our great land) and they verified there are 316,000 cases in their warehouse ready to be distributed within the next week.
I will be toasting our southern brothers when i crack open my first taste of Freedom next week!
