Micro-brews are all a little different and you really do have to just look until you find what you like, but once you find one you like you'll find it hard to believe that you actually ever enjoyed a Molson product.

Try Steamwhistle, I have a lot of friends that 'enjoy' Molson & Budweiser etc. who like Steamwhistle so it might work for you.

I have tried this one before, and I don't like it. Thanks for your suggestion though!! I have tried a lot of microbrewery beers, and haven't found anything remotely to my taste.

I typically don't like home made beer, personally. I'm not a micro-brewery beer guy either. There's just something about the aftertaste I just don't enjoy. But strangely enough I drink Corona Extra and Kokanee.
But... I have to admit, there's a micro brewery beer made on Granville Island that's actually pretty good. Not sure if you can find it in Saskatchewan though.

More of a wine drinker myself, but strangely enough I grow my own hops, lol

Seriously, you don't drink a lot of beer, and the ingredients in the beer you actually enjoy are not going to harm you. Just enjoy your fave brew and relax

But maybe if she found a healthy one she likes she'll drink more

I go to the health food store just to buy non-GMO corn and popcorn, I order meats from a local grain-free farm, and then I drink Coors Light. Uh, that just doesn't make sense. Also, with all due respect, you have no idea if it will harm me or not. You don't even know if it will harm yourself. I don't know how you can go through life these days without being health-conscious.

Did you know that GMOs and GMMOs are a Class 9 UN3245 Dangerous Good if they continue to have the ability to alter biological substances? Obviously, things like GMO corn are (somewhat) inert in this fashion (according to "them") and are exempt.

This is from the US, but these regulations cover US, Canada, and Europe. Maybe other places too.

GMO’s are divided into the following categories:
1. Those that meet the definition of an infectious substance. These must be classified as either Category A or Category B.
2. Those that meet the definition of a toxic substance. These must be classified as Class 6.1.

3. Animals that contain or are contaminated with GMO’s that meet the definition of an infectious substance. They must not be transported by air unless exempted by the States concerned.
4. GMO’s which do not meet the definition of infectious substances but which are capable of altering animals, plants or microbiological substances in a way which is not normally a result of natural reproduction. These must be classified as Class 9 (miscellaneous dangerous goods) and assigned UN 3245.
Exemptions:
The following are exempt from these Regulations:

• Substances containing micro-organisms which are non-pathogenic to humans or animals e.g. Class 1 GMO's.
• Substances transported in a form whereby any pathogens present have been neutralised or inactivated such that they no longer pose a health risk e.g. substances fixed in formaldehyde.
• Environmental samples (including food and water) which are not considered to pose a significant risk of infection.
