Canada’s Sleeman Breweries is Canada’s third largest beer maker. Well, it was Canada’s third largest beer maker.

A subsidiary of Sapporo Holdings, Sapporo Breweries, Ltd. bought a 95.83 percent stake in Sleeman Breweries.

Canada now owns only the froth at the top of the mug.sapporo beer.jpg

Sapporo says they will buy the froth next month and Canada will then have nothing.

Sapporo is the capital of Japan’s northern most main island of Hokkaido and also home the Sapporo Ice Festival and close by to many ski slopes.

Question: Why is that when you drink beer, you suddenly have to go to the bathroom so often to relieve yourself? No..not the diuretic thing.sleeman beer.jpg

The reason, I have learned, that beer goes through the body so quickly is because it doesn’t have to take time to change color before it goes out.

Now the Japanese can enjoy their home brewed beer as well as beer brewed in Canada…and make frequent trips to the head.

What do you think?
