CHARLOTTETOWN, PE – CBC News reports that upcoming changes to the Prince Edward Island Liquor Control Act will lift the limit on alcohol levels for beers brewed in the province.
PEI breweries and brewpubs are currently limited to brewing beer no higher than 6.5% abv, while stronger beers from out of province are allowed to be imported and sold in PEILCC retail stores.
The cap will be lifted as of this Saturday October 25th, and Jeff Squires of PEI Brewing tells CBC that the brewery is planning to take advantage of the new rule as soon as possible.

- Greg C. is drinking a Barn Owl (No. 18) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & DufferinGood balance of tart passionfruit & mildly funky sour ale, with supporting notes of oak, lemon, stonefruit & pineapple. Sharp & satisfying.
- Greg C. is drinking a Social Parade DDH IPA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingOh, that’s dank. And delicious. Lotsa grapefruit, some ripe peach, hint of spruce. Drinks dangerously quickly for the abv.
- Greg C. is drinking a Sitting Pretty APA by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingDelivers the dominant citrus promised in the description, along with some pine and a peppery backnote, perhaps from the rye.
- Greg C. is drinking a Raspberry Lemon Rosemary Kennel Sour by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingStarts with raspberry, with lemon coming through in the middle, and rosemary sitting nicely in the finish. Super summer beverage.
- Greg C. is drinking a Li'l Hobo Hefeweizen by Black Lab Brewing at Black Lab BrewingNot as hazy as I expect from the style - it’s more Kristall than Hefe - but the banana & clove notes are there, along with a bit of lemon.
