Halifax: Beer Aficionados

Alexander Keith Dept: The truth in question is the recipe used for Alexander Keith s India Pale Ale, a beer crafted in the 19th century by a Scottish immigrant in Halifax, according to The Chronicle Herald. Yet after some sleuthing, including scrutinizing high-resolution screen shots of the advertisement, a group of beer aficionados and homebrewers in Halifax say the recipe is a fake and when you re 192 years old, the truth can sometimes get stretched a bit. A recent television commercial for the golden suds shows an antique hand-scrawled recipe as the phrase it began as one man s personal recipe flashes across the screen. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
