"Four and twenty Yankees,
    Feeling very dry,
Went across the border
   To get a drink of rye.

When the rye was opened,
   the Yanks began to sing,
'God Bless America,
   but God Save the King!!"

- Anonymous ditty recorded by Edward VIII (1894-1972) upon viewing Americans crossing the Canadian border during Prohibition.

I think it applies to beer too - when American friends visit me, the beer-drinkers among them always rave about Canadian beer!!
