Haven't heard much about this one from Labatt's

Post by mr x » Fri Feb 04, 2011 9:55 am

Beginning this spring, Alexander Keith’s Fine Beers will be available to our American neighbours, but not until Mr. Keith’s time-honoured practices for ensuring quality and taste are upheld through our rigourous brewery accreditation process. Follow along on this blog as Brewmaster Emeritus Graham Kendall passes along Alexander Keith’s proud heritage to Brewmasters Nick Mills and Rebecca Reid as they accredit the Baldwinsville, NY brewery to brew Alexander Keith’s Fine Beers.
:cheers:
At Alexander Keith's we follow the recipes first developed by the great brewmaster to the absolute letter. :wtf:

When the American beer buying public see IPA on the cans, they'll be in for a huge shock if they actually expect an IPA... :roll:

Not sure why you'd want to hear much about it :|
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Did you notice they never actually mention the IPA? Keith's Blonde Ale anyone?

Though they do say Alexander Keith's "Fine Ales" - which ones are those?

There's been rumour over the past 2 yrs they've been trying to get into the US market but were denied approval on the IPA until they change the name.

Yaaaay USA!

From what I know, they already were importing Keith's, but now Labatt's are farming out the brewing as well.
