Molson Coors considers getting into marijuana business in Canada

Company looking to invest, collaborate on cannabis-infused beverages

Denver-based Molson Coors Brewing Co. is weighing whether to expand into the sector with Canada poised to legalize the drug for recreational use this October. The brewer is said to have held talks with several Canadian-based marijuana companies to invest and collaborate in cannabis-infused beverages in an attempt to halt declining beer sales, according to a Friday report from BNN Bloomberg, citing several unidentified people familiar with the matter.

    Agreed. Almost everything made in the US is a pilsener. Some pilseners are better than others, but I've never drank one that I really like. An ice cold pilsener on a hot summer day, when you've just got out of the sun - yeah. That's the time when an American beer tastes great. Any other time, almost everything else tastes better. Almost anything. Whoever invented fortified wines should be hanged, repeatedly.

    What's wrong with a decent dry sherry? I'll admit the standard mass produced cream cherries can be pretty awful, but that's not true of all. And a decent port can be great with dessert. Certainly better than most of the Moscato crap everyone suddenly discovered recently. (Not all Moscato is crap, but a lot of the popular stuff now is pretty awful.)

    I was with you until that crack against fortified wine.

    A good dry sherry is great with cheese, as is a decent port, and reasonable ports are usually not that expensive, where I live anyway.

    I agree about pilsener though. However I am sure if I went to Pilsen I could find lots of slightly different, really nice brews. Those Czechs love their beer.
