Yeah it's weird now.

I was pretty involved in the domestic beer marketing for a number of years and no indie brewery has the clout to match dollars with Inbev or Molson/Coors and if an indie gets popular enough they get bought by them. Manitoba has a market in which craft and indie brewers struggle for in house space and don't have the resources to get people tasting their product. Farmery has probably had the most success doing so and their market share is negligible. I don't disagree that our IPAs are awful here, but so are many other provinces. Our hops are kind of ****. Part of Manitobas problem was even getting a brewery going and listed by MLCC. Until 10 years ago it was extremely difficult for our breweries to even get into their stores. That has changed but our breweries are way behind.

Not a word. He was fired.

Thanks, so if another QB takes some snaps than their Fullback would probably need to come on to replace Butler or a receiver.

Yeah for 22 snaps on designated players. They have no Designated Nationalized Americans and Rourke isn't designated either to be subbed as the Canadian for that.

My Dad used to coach track and basketball. If anyone would wear dark socks with shorts, they’d never hear the end of it. “You know, white socks would make you run faster” “Really?” “No, you just look stupid with those ones”

You could’ve saved a bit of typing and just said “I don’t wanna learn”

You could have saved a lot of typing and just said Personal Preference..it's totally fine. You and Dave come from the exact same spot and that's fine.

Does the league still have the rule where Americans can replace an injured starting Canadian?

Shitty game plan, went away from rushing, tunnel vision from O'Shea.

I don’t need to go through the cicerone process to have a full understanding of flavour profiles. I also don’t need to have a full understanding of flavour profiles to know what is “good” and what is not “good” Winnipeg’s biggest problem in the brewing process is its water. It’s too hard and nobody invests the time, effort or capital into a solution, because that takes away from a brewery’s primary function - profit. The second problem is that because of our market, every brewery’s favourite adjunct into a beer is “local” - we are roughly 3-5 years behind the rest of the country in terms of process and technique. We have exactly one brewery (Kilter) with an established barrel program, we have almost zero clout outside of our own provincial border other than just networking collaborations (although this is going to be changing soon) and the breweries typically rely on “local” style branding to mask major flaws in their beers or overall lack of effort in the brewing process. There’s a reason TCB has to pay vendors for front row shelf space, there’s a reason Stone Angel shut down, there’s a reason Half Pints (gonna miss them, sad they went downhill) is up for sale. These places haven’t changed, never adapted and got lazy. I don’t need to be a cicerone to see that. Sookrams, Kilter and (sometimes) LBJ are the big three in Manitoba and it’s going to stay that way for a long time with reason. Nobody else wants to put the effort in, why bother when you can coast off local collaborations with charities, awareness causes and vendors because that’s all our market tends to care about because that’s all they’ve been taught to care about. We’re gonna see some evolution this summer / fall and I know you’re not going to believe me, but I’ll say it anyways - I’ve got quite a bit to do with it. Hopefully the change results in some positive progression moving forward, our market will be better for it. It’s going to be nice to see some Manitoba branding on beers brewed outside of this province.

I'd like to know what you're basing your opinion of Good and Bad on.... Is it personal preference, or did you go through the Cicerone process and have a full understanding flavour profiles and such?

Havnt heard that lol...I'd rather hear that than anything outta Kate's yap

Even when he calls touchdowns tuddies? lol

Lol... Yeah I don't mind him at all

He had a much better supporting cast by the looks of it. That Oline is brutal

Side note. Luke Willson is already better than Madani and Brit Dort in his first few minutes.

Well we all know it was Jake Thomas’s fault.

Fact we lost to a team QB'd by Arbuckle watching him tonight is pretty sad..

Yeah, they get the ball on the 30? The Argo put himself into the endzone. What would happen if a player intercepts a ball at the 5. Can they run into the endzone and then get the ball at the 30?

Als fans learned how to do the wave!! See there are other things to do than honking a Fkn horn!

I think the hazy IPAs that exist outside of Manitoba are far superior to anything we do inside this province and that *may* be part of the reason that Manitobans have a weird impression of them. Even Kilter (who I love) does a bad job of them these days. Inside Canada, the true champions of hazy IPAs are in Quebec (Messorem, Le Ketch, Bad Bones, Nano Cinco, Brewskey) or Ontario (Badlands, All My Friends) and I guess Alberta has a few top guns as well (Irrational, Polyrhythm, Establishment) but I would say overall, only Messorem/Ketch/Bad Bones can hang with the folks down south brb gonna go pour myself a beer

Huh....what's the call here? I think it's int. But then what? If he caught it while standing out of bounds in the endzone, that's just an incompletion right? If he caught it in bounds....and then stepped out inside the endzone...what happens then?

Sanchez is horrendous, his NFL analysis as well may be the worst/bland ive ever seen.
