Aug-25-13 | | JoergWalter: <AbdelIrada>are we talking microbreweries here? if so, how about the german microbreweries? Do you know anything about those? |
|
Aug-25-13 | | JoergWalter: <northernfox> agree. i go for Duwels, Palm, 1664 or Franziskaner anytime. I had a pretty decent canadian one but i forgot the name. or washed the braincells with the name away. but i think they sponsored chess events? |

Yes, indeed. I think it is difficult to find a German lager that is less than first rate. As for Canadian beers, I do not remember anything about a brewery chess sponsor, but there are several fine beers available made by non-mega-brewers you may have tried, or should try if you get the chance; tops on my list are: Creemore Springs lager
Sleeman lager and Sleeman cream ale
Rickards Red ale |

Sep-18-13 | | JoergWalter: @<northernfox>
the name was Molson. I think they were also willing to sponsor a match Fischer-Karpov in Fischer Random. |
|
Sep-18-13
 | | northernfox: <JW> Thanks for that interesting information; I had no idea of the chess connection. Molson is one of the traditional three mega-brewers in Canada, along with Labatt and Carling, though Molson is now Molson-Coors, some kind of American/Canadian multi-national. In my view their beer is OK, but not as good as much of the beer coming from the smaller craft brewers. I suspect Molson-Coors is now a lot more interested in hockey sponsorship than chess. |
|
Sep-18-13 | | JoergWalter: <northernfox> you are welcome. I found it in a chess magazine from 1995.Karpow met 2 members of the Molson family in Montreal in October 1995 to organize the match with Fischer. Seemingly Molson was also involved in sponsoring the 1979 tournament in Montreal. |

A bill introduced last week would amend the Liquor Control Act to make it an offense to "advertise or sell any glass of beer as a pint in this state unless that glass contains at least 16 ounces of beer."> http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/201... |
