    The truly hilarious part is that all the cheap, shitty beer that these dumbfuck MAGAts drink is made with ingredients sourced from the PNW. They’d have to give up Bud, Busch, Miller and Coors.

        I moreso meant hops, but yeah, the PNW does tons of grain as well. Alberta, specifically, produces (I believe) the majority in Canada. Trying to kill the PNW would cripple their alcoholic base.

          Ain’t Alberta east of the rockies?

          And yeah I was under the impression that the grain was from Louisiana (rice) and the rocky rain shadow (wheat). I know here in the Mississippi basin we’re mostly sticking to growing corn and soy as livestock feed

            You are correct that they’re east of the Rockies. However, Alberta and Saskatchewan make upwards of 75% of Canada’s farmland, so they produce Canada’s grain. As for where beer companies get their grain, I have no doubt they try to get it from wherever is cheapest. In the Northern Midwest, that’s likely from Canada, since it’s closer than Louisiana or Mississippi, or any of the other southern states. I don’t have the actual sales info to go off of, though.
