Crissy Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Confiscation of Mike's?! Oh, the horror! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 sounds like I'm going to have to try this mysterious Mike's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pata Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Did you see Nashville Star last night? One of the girls sang a song about Mike's. Is it really that good, I've never had it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet in Toronto Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 Is it really that good? As has been discussed before, it's only that good in Canada, where it's made with vodka. In the US, it's made with malt. Eww. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G5052 Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 I looked out of curiousity (my taste isn't oriented that way at all), and they're not cheap. Of course my wine isn't either I guess if you price it per glass ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 okay, why vodka in Canada and malt in US? (says she who hasn't tried either...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rose in BC Posted July 23, 2008 Author Share Posted July 23, 2008 Road trip!! :auto: Gimme a time and place! As a rule I wouldn't crack open a bottle until after 4 (I mean you have to have some standards!) so don't come too early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course my wine isn't either I guess if you price it per glass ;). But occasionally I'll branch out. In Canada Mike's even comes in a low calorie version (although my husband thinks there's something wrong with that). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janet in Toronto Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 okay, why vodka in Canada and malt in US? (says she who hasn't tried either...) This is a guess, but at least here in Ontario, you can only buy alcoholic beverages in government-regulated stores (LCBO: Liquor Control Board of Ontario or "The Beer Store" for beer (yes, that's the actual store name)). In the US, you can often buy wine and beer in grocery stores. So by making Mikes (and other similar beverages) with malt, they can be sold in a wider range of outlets as a beer product. Or maybe it has to do with Canadian's more discerning tastes :) When I was living in the ATL, one of my Canadian friends would bring me down the legal import limit of Mikes in her luggage, all duct taped up, whenever she came to visit. Love 'er. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted July 23, 2008 Share Posted July 23, 2008 That makes sense. But it depends on WHERE you are in the states. In one state I lived in, you could buy beer and anything else in the grocery. Here in PA, you have to go to a state licensed shop. Some are only licensed for beer and wine coolers. Others are licensed for wine and hard liquor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
