6 pack of Molson Coors king cans.
Permalink Closed


Coming to a town near you.

Went to see the travelling 6 pack today. They're stopped on Hwy 5 in Burlington until nightfall. Neat to see. All stainless. 1.4 million bottle capacity each.
My question is, why can't these be made in Canada? Seem's a awful long way and a big effort to bring them from Germany.

A little girl I know in Hamilton said they had badly measured the heights and were delayed having to lift the hydro and phone lines along part of the route.

I saw this on the news. It's quite an undertaking to have to move all those hydro lines.

the trailers they were going to use to move the tanks decks are 2 feet closer to the ground. The extra 2 feet is causing all kinds of problems.

I have to ask. If these are coming from Germany wouldn't this be imported beer that's only available at the Liqour store?

To the question why buy from Germany. My wife's Maid of Honour family's company made these sort of items right in Toronto for many years dating from pre-World war I until about 20 years ago. Competition was tough because of the high costs of manufacturing here. One day the bank called their operating line and with two years of contracts on the floor that sent them into bankruptcy. It was a very emotional experience for a company that survived two world wars and the depression, just like losing a member of the family. They were one if not the last company in that business in Canada. It is a typical story though the third generation blew it. Her father ran the company from after WWII where he served as a Wing Commander in a Bomber group. It was less than two years after he retired that his son lost it.

Thanks for the photos, I was actually thinking about catching a look once they get closer to Toronto.
