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 Fruited Dry Hop Sour by Collective Arts Brewing at King & DufferinTypically good quality sour from CA, although as can happen with multi-fruit beers, the flavours are a bit lost amongst each other.
- Greg C. is drinking a Trash Panda by Parallel 49 Brewing Company at King & DufferinMore murky than hazy. Flavour is a bit muddled at first, but some nice fruit notes - peach, pineapple, mango - come through as it opens up.
- Greg C. is drinking a Too Wound Down by Bell City Brewing Company at King & DufferinI question the Session IPA classification given the fairly low IBU, but this is still a more than acceptable pale ale.
- Greg C. is drinking a RoboHop Imperial IPA by Great Lakes BreweryA modern classic of the IIPA style, at least in Ontario. Strong malt base supporting a blast of citrus, pine & tropical fruit hops.
- Greg C. is drinking a Camp-Out Pils (Moonlight Kettle Graduate 2019) by Muskoka Brewery at King & DufferinThe Motueka hops are similar enough to Saaz to fit this excellent Pils, but also have a citrus zest character that adds a unique edge.
