well i mean, depending on which state you're in, canada can very well be "far away" it's not the other side of the earth far away, but it's a long trip.
Oh, 100%, dude was factually correct and I didn't chuckle at him, just found the whole "Canadian in a Californian dollar store buying 'exotic' Japanese beer that is actually Canadian macrobrew from a brewery 5 hours west of his home" thing really amusing.
It was from far away - like, the other side of the continent - but not the kind of far away you'd expect given the branding.
Edit: That said, this was several years ago - a little Googling suggests that if I did this now, it would be even less exotic, and brewed by Stone Brewing in Escondido, CA.
