Within the past 24 hours, I have received samples of two new beers: the latest in Sleeman’s “John Sleeman Presents…” line, a Bock, and the new offering from Molson Coors Canada, Canadian 67.
The latter beer is being touted by the folks at Molson Coors as “Canada’s Lowest Calorie Beer,” with a mere 67 calories per bottle and, unique for this country, I think, a statement of Nutrition Facts on the back of every bottle. What I find interesting about these beers, however, is not their weight, but their respective alcohol contents: 3% for the Canadian 67 and precisely twice that amount, or 6%, for the Sleeman Bock.
So the question is, will the Bock hold twice the appeal of the 67? I have my suspicions, but first I’m going to chill down a couple of bottles of each and sample what’s inside. Check back with me in a day or so for the results.
