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. 9) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin2+ years old but doesn’t show it at all. The body is lively, the raspberry flavour still pops, and the base beer is deliciously sour.
- Greg C. is drinking a Barn Owl (No. 10) by Bellwoods Brewery at King & Dufferin2 years old so the hops have fallen back somewhat, but the Brett funk is gorgeous and plays so well with the apricot notes. Love it!
- Greg C. is drinking a Mean Muggin' by Nickel Brook Brewing Co. at King & DufferinHeavy on the coffee - like, REALLY heavy, even for me and I love extra dark roast espresso. Still enjoyed it, but would like more balance.
- Greg C. is drinking a Goldpanner by Left Field Brewery at King & DufferinGood balance of dark malt and smoke, and the medium-weight body carries the flavour well, through to the clean finish.
- Greg C. is drinking a Glorioso by Left Field Brewery at King & DufferinCrisp & dry with a prominent herbal/floral character, and a lovely lime leaf note lingering in the palate in the finish.
