A can a day keeps tariff worries away?
As part of a nationwide “Buy Canadian” campaign, Moosehead Breweries is offering “The Presidential Pack” — a massive crate of 1,461 beers, one for each day of the Trump presidency.
That’s more than 776,000 milliliters of beer (or 23,000 ounces for the imperialists among us) at a cost of about 3,500 Canadian dollars (roughly US$2,450).
Adding to the humor of the offering, one of the false fables behind the origin of Canada’s name is that it’s a reference to a ration of beer (“can a day”).
It’s unclear whether Canadians will be able to limit themselves to just one a day, however. Not only could “Liberation Day” on April 2 be an excuse for a few libations, but the nation’s quest to end its more than 30-year Stanley Cup drought starts next month, as well.
Moosehead told Bloomberg it’s sold 10 Presidential Packs so far, but has more than 400 would-be buyers on a waitlist.
