Combine flour and baking soda; whisk into beer mixture until smooth. Pour batter into prepared pan.
Bake at 350° for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely in pan on a wire rack.
In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy. Add icing sugar and heavy cream.
Beat until smooth (do not over-beat).
Remove cake from the pan and place on a platter or cake stand.
Ice top of cake so that it resembles a frothy pint of beer…or ice the entire cake for a more polished look. Decorate with red & white sprinkles and small Canadian flags. Happy 150!!
Cut into generous slices and serve. Refrigerate any leftover cake.
