Light Blue on the Field, Blue Light in our Hearts!


In honour of my very competitive co-ed soccer teams’ advancement to this summer’s playoffs, I would like to take this opportunity to write about a certain beverage that remains close to our hearts, despite its’ current lack of “mainstream” popularity. Our team, Light Blue has chosen, cleverly if I may, Blue Light as our post-game beverage for celebrating wins, grieving losses and complaining about less than favourable calls.

I have written about the history of Labatt’s brewery in my post about 50 (you can check it out here) so I will just stick to the tasting notes about Blue Light. “Created in 1983, this premium, pilsner-style lager has a slightly sweet taste and a fruity, hop aroma. It's fresh, crisp and brewed to the highest quality standards.” http://www.labattus.com/bluelight/. Now, you may be scoffing at that description but Blue Light is actually one of my favourite light beers. It’s easy to drink, affordable and makes the perfect companion to any social gathering.
 
 
While I play on a soccer team with a diverse group of people, we all share a devotion to Blue Light. For us, it stands for teamwork, solidarity, friendship and hard work. To enjoy a Blue Light may seem like something minor, but it means a lot to me. So this post goes out to Light Blue! Cheers to another great season, looking forward to at least a few more with you!
 

Fun Fact: Blue Light’s big brother Labatt’s Blue is the world’s best selling Canadian brew!
