Labatt's Blue Light, baby!... SE Michigan Kroger stores still have the 24 oz. cans for a buck a pop! That amounts to a case for $12 + 1.20 (cans)= 13.20 + .99 (6 percent sales tax)= 14.19 (grand total).

That comes to .59 cents per 12 oz. serving! Go to a sports bar or fancy restaurant and order three microbrews @ $4 apiece and you're talking roughly the same price when you include tax and gratuity.

That's 6.75x times the cost of 12 Labatt's Blue Light (or Labatt Ice w/5.6 % alcohol content!) 24 oz. cans at Kroger...

“Labatt’s Blue Light, baby!.”

I hate to be a beer snob, but in Canada, Blue Light has the status of say Bud Light stateside, or maybe Old Milwaukee.

In the small liquor store in the village near my rural home, there are at least a dozen brands better than that, and only a handful poorer.

Canada should be renamed Land of Beer ...and Ale!

Our IPAs are great!

Bro, you do the same math that I do when beer shopping.

Unless I've already had a few. Then its only 2 questions?

"What do I really like?"
And
"What is closest?"
