Never seen it.  :blush:

But yes it's real.  I think Heaven Hill distills it these days.

Having what I think is my first alcoholic drink of 2025, a glass* of cider. :hmm:



* only one to hand as I don't appear to have any pint glasses in the house.

I'm back in Detroit for a few days.  Yesterday I saw that the Labatt's beer sold here is now labeled as "Brewed in the USA;" a sign of the times if there ever was one.  (Probably the Budweiser in Windsor is now labeled as "Brewed in Canada.")
In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

It is probably brewed at their Rochester, NY site. That's where the last American Labatt was made.
"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

Yes, that's probably right.  Previously it had come from London, Ontario; which is much closer to Detroit.

Going to the grocery store here has been an experience in sticker shock.  I'm guessing that's because the agri-business in southeastern Michigan and southern Ontario had been so closely linked.  You're in upstate New York, right?  Have you noticed the same thing?

(As an example of how closely the economies were linked, as I've mentioned before, my brother had been an agricultural inspector for US CBP.  One day he had a driver come in with a truck load of tomatoes from southern Ontario that he was going to deliver to a buyer in Detroit; he said once he was done he was going to pick up another truck load of tomatoes from southeastern Michigan and deliver it to a buyer in Windsor.)

The good old days, when the border didn't really matter.
