Labatts - the brand
[edit]"Labatts" can also refer to the brand itself and not the company. [1]. This could be made clear in the article. Nine times out of ten, when someone says the word Labatts here in the UK, it's referring to the brand and not the company that brews it. Armistice23 (talk) 13:54, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
- The brand used to be sold as Labatt's with an apostrophe-S. Francophone Canadians called it Labatt, and it was sold under that French version of the name in Québec and elsewhere, without the apostrophe-S. Labatt Brewing Company adopted a uniform brand name Labatt as it works well in both English and French. There was some controversy about this, and maybe I will look into adding it to the article. In the USA and Canada, in English and French, it is uniformly called Labatt nowadays in all the labeling and marketing. Old-timers like me still call it Labatt's sometimes. 172.56.193.204 (talk) 22:19, 8 August 2024 (UTC)
Labatts - Production and Marketing
[edit]There is a HUGE misconception over here in America about where beers from the Labatt Brewing Company are actually made. This is strongly seen in the Buffalo, New York market, where most average joes believe that there is a brewery IN the Buffalo (Buffalo MSA). Buffalo does have the marketing and importing office for US consumption of Labatt, which until recently only employed ~20 staffers. It seems as if people from Buffalo believe that this office is where Labatt beer is made, which has led to a hometown, super-strong, adoption of a foreign beer as being "locally" made.
The situation becomes even more tricky with the formation of North American Breweries, which is headquartered at the Genesee Brewing Company in Rochester, NY. This company completely owns Labatt USA, the importer of Labatt beer into the USA. Additionally, since one product Labatt Blue Lime Beer is now in-fact made in the USA at the Genesee Brewery, many people from Buffalo believe that jobs have been taken away from Buffalo and are now in Rochester.
The best solution for this would be to create a smaller, separate wiki page for Labatt USA with the correct sourcing and to remove all tags of Labatt Brewing from all USA wikis (especially Buffalo).

Poor writing
[edit]The grammar and composition of the article is almost laughable, as if the product itself contributed to the writing. Perhaps I'll rewrite it some day, if I remember to bother trying. Snezzy (talk) 12:10, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Amount in bottle
[edit]It is actually 341ml per bottle of Labatt Blue not 340ml as stated! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.93.96.141 (talk) 05:30, 24 May 2013 (UTC)
