And there's "hand brand" alcohol. Same deal, pretty much.

My great uncle "Peg Leg" Henry was hauling a toboggan with cargo covered with a blanket past the cop shop in the 30s. A very large Irish (both Canucks of Irish descent) cop was standing on the steps and asked what the poor little old Irish had on the toboggan.

"25 gallons of hand brand alcohol ya big dumb SOB." The cop laughed and said, "Ya crazy bugger! I'd help ya haul it but I gotta stay here. Careful ya don't slip and fall."

That's exactly what he had on the toboggan.

He was a character, to say the least. I got a lot more stories.
