But they are happy about that, obviously. You can't argue with the happiness map :-)

But they [Canadians] are colder and have lousy beer On the first, maybe they're looking forward to global warming. On the second... you're from the land of Budweiser and Miller. Beer that has to be served too cold to taste, because no one would drink it warm enough to taste. You disagree? You mock British 'warm' beer, perhaps? You don't understand why the best drinks, the most complex and quality like red wine or real ale are served at 11-13C? Then I challenge you to drink US Bud (Lite or whatever) at the same temperature, so you can taste what you're drinking. Have a few pints, go on. But I'd suggest you keep a bucket handy. I know, you had prohibition, it killed off the entire brewing heritage (which given German-British ancestry should have been so good)... no wonder so many cocktails had to be invented, no one could drink the beer. But no land where the biggest brewer boasts Bud Lite as an "advance" can ever, ever denigrate the beer of any other country.
