      Back
      in
      the
      1820s,
      the
      Maritimes
      were
     
     
      the
      place
      to
      be.
      Ships
      loaded
      down
      with
     
     
      goods
      from
      around
      the
      world
      berthed
     
     
      at
      the
      port
      cities.
      While
      down
      on
      the
     
     
      docks,
      soldiers
      and
      sailors,
      adventurers
     
     
      and
      merchants
      brought
      cosmopolitan
     
     
      flavour
      to
      the
      local
      scene.
     
    

    
     
      It
      was
      in
      Halifax,
      on
      Lower
      Water
      Street,
     
     
      that
      a
      very
      fine
      India
      Pale
      Ale
      was
      born,
     
     
      forever
      changing
      the
      social
      swirl.
      The
     
     
      brewmaster
      was
      Alexander
      Keith.
     
    

    
     
      He
      refused
      to
      compromise,
      insisting
      on
     
     
      using
      only
      the
      finest
      ingredients.
      Then
     
     
      brewing
      slowly,
      carefully,
      taking
      the
     
     
      time
      to
      get
      it
      right.
      With
      an
      unrivaled
     
     
      commitment
      to
      quality.
      Once
      Alexander
     
    
   
   
    
     
      decided
      his
      was
      finally
      ready,
      barrels
      were
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Those
      who
      like
      it,
      like
      it
      a
      lot.
