Molson Canadian 67

A new beer out on the market, Molson's Canadian 67. Why the 67? Because it only contains 67 calories, low carbs and only 3% alcohol. This is great news as spring is coming along and many beer lovers want to get rid of the "beer belly" or "muffin top" ( in my case).

The best news of all is that this beer tastes wonderful. As a beer lover, I will never sacrifice taste for health benefits. In this case, I can have both. Canadian 67 is a crisp, dry beer, bubbly and refreshing. I can very well imagine it served ice cold with a twist of orange on a very hot summer afternoon. Belly will not feel heavy, alcohol level will not make you pass out under the sun's heat. It will become my iced tea substitute for this summer. With the beer market introducing stronger(more alcohol) beers or shots in the past few years, it is nice to know that there are more and more options for weight-conscious, designated drivers and beer-lovers who do not want to act stupid after drinking four. Their only competitor (as I am aware of in Quebec) is Sleeman Clear. Let's hope more breweries start bringing down the alcohol content while keeping our taste buds satisfied. If you are looking for less than 3% alcohol in a beer, I recommend my personal favorites: O'Doul's and Le Choix Du President(0.5%).

On another note, just tried "Le Clos St-Ambroise" cheese. Love their beer and now their cheese too. It's a beer-ripened cheese, has great texture and a bit of a fuity-nutty taste... bye-bye Philadephia, my bagels have a new best friend.
