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.

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...

Not sure why you'd want to hear much about it

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.
