What's wrong with Canadians?

No different than all the odd stuff they put in coffee these days.

I can’t stand flavored coffee, either. If I want candy I’ll buy a Snickers bar.
A former coworker used to stop at Dunkin Donuts for some kind of caramel flavored coffee. Just the smell was enough to make me gag. Bleah!

While back I was into DIY beer.
I had it pressurized in old Coke and Pepsi tanks and stored in a dedicated fridge.
The advantage of pressurized tanks was no bottle washing to do,

I also DIY'd my wine for a while using concentrates and I used vacuum to fill my bottles.
that made filtering a snap.
Being lazy I used alcohol to rinse and cleanse my wine bottles.
Then locally the liquor board offered facilities to fill from their bulk vats which removed the economics of DIYing wine and besides no chances of creating wine vinegar by accident.

LOL, now days I stick mainly to scotch whisky with a few onz B4 dinner.

The funny thing, being retired, I have the time now but not the interest.

If you're like most retirees I know, it's because you have so much going on that you wonder how you ever got anything done while working a full time job!

Plus priorities have changed...

LOL, so true.
Wife also says that.

OK, I will chime in on the beer. The problem with Canadians, at least back when I was a beer waiter in Calgary in the 70s, as we wanted REAL beer. I drank something called “extra old stock” which had a 12% alcohol content. The American stuff was just water to us.

Now your being polite, we had another way of describing it.

I think of it as there being four factors as we go through life:

Desire
Ability
Time
Funds $

As a youth I had the first three, during my working years #3 was scarce, now in retirement I’m losing #1 & #2.

A coworker calls it “Canoe beer... a little over water.”
