Canadians love beer.

It’s sort of a no brainer. But more and more of us don’t want to drink our Dad’s beer brand.  We want our beer to do more for us than a general sense of well-being and invincibility on the dance floor. It’s not enough that the beer tastes great!  We want to support local breweries and local ingredients. We don’t want it sold to us through lifestyle advertising; we want to experience it.

The swarm of video cameras, photographers and officials shuffle their way to the front of the Canadian kitchen; MOF Chef Guy Lassausaie stands hands spread out on the counter counting down. Four minutes to go, then three. Hearts began pounding now. Two. One. Guy Lassausaie’s hand went out to shake with the Canadians and wish them “Bon Chance”. A crescendo of cameras click.
